I am an airbrush artist in New Jersey for Beach Bum tanning, a chain on the East Coast. Airbrushing is a form of tanning that is used instead of using tanning beds that are seen as unhealthy. We use solution, provided by our company where we evaluate your skin tone when you come in, and you tell us the look you are looking for and we make that happen. We use all organic/healthy solution which is good for you skin and comes out of clothes. I begin with your back, turning your body as you go getting into places a spray machine (that usually comes out orange) can't get to. This also gives you a choice in color instead of just one that would spray out at you. It never globs or gets smudged either because we are using air as we go along. Also unlike the machine, airbrushing is more browning unlike the machines or self tanners. I usually reccomend this for people who have important events, want a healthy solution or have such fair skin that they don't want to risk orange color from self-tanning or the machine. It usually can last two weeks if taken care of by moisterizing and washing with lotion/soap that has no sulfates - so always check your ingrediants.

yes it is possible, but why would you want to.

Banana Boat tanning oil works really well. But if your looking for a cheaper alternative. You can mix 1/2 cup of baby oil. 1/4 of spf 4 or 10, 1/4 cup regular lotion and mix. Be careful with baby oil it can deffinately cause premature aging. Make sure if you tan you use lotion after, if your skin is not hydrated the tan will look dull and uneven.

The first formula for suntan lotion was invented by a man named Eugene Schueller in 1936.

Removing spray tan Isn't easy so try not to go over the top with unwanted orange-ness!!

Yeah you can buy a fake tan remover from shops but if you dont have time sometimes shaving, or nail polish remover can remove the top layer of fake tan.

If this doesnt work for your skin then try scrubbing with soap or just leave it to let your skin deal with it.

Please note that sometimes people can get reactions with 'nail polish remover' on their skin!

New Answer: ^^ although these are good ideas, as an airbrush artist I have seen some awful spray tans/self tanner issues. First, before you put on anymore, you always want to exfoliate the last off before putting a new layer on- or it willl turn orange. Second, try just exfoliating with a LOT of sulfates. For example Dove, which carrys a lot that lessen the tan quick. When that doesn't work, try sugar, lemon & water -- exfoliate this for a few days with a loofa, circular motions. But this will take time to truely clean your skin & poors. Nail Polish remover works really well on your hands but can dry our your skin quickly, so try these first.

Get a Tan Extender Lotion. Bath and Body Works has one. "After Sun Tan Extending Lotion" It will make sure your tan wont fade! Try a tanning lotion or spray. But be careful how much you much you use or you might turn orange.

No! My mother used it all her life for tanning, and it worked great. But it does not contain SPF...not safe for the sun. Obviously, the correct answer is used sunscreen and avoid tanning too much.

No. With the sun today it will damage your skin even with a high factor sunscreen. You are better off staying out of the sun. The tanning booths are worse so don't use them as well. These put direct UV rays on your skin and will damage it. No matter your skin tone you can get melanoma as you age.

When using tanning lotion, it is important to choose a brand that you have used before. If you have never used such lotion before, you should know that these products are not designed for those with sensitive skin. Using a new brand with different ingredients or trying the lotion for the first time can put you at risk for a rash. Try to use the lotion sparingly at first. You can look online to find out which tanning products are thought to be more mild than others.

You can more than likely purchase them at the indoor tanning salon of your choice.

since a greenhouse is made from glass you have to it directly in the sun and stay there for a few hours but if your not careful your going to get a sunburn so make sure you were ALOT of sunblock!

Seals, walruses, and a few other species or pinnepeds. To a degree, humans do also. The natural oils in our sweat help protect us.

Sometimes. It really all depends on your skin type-a lot of people tan faster in the water, but some people (usually with fairer skin) just burn right away. Then when their burn heals, they aren't much darker than they started out. No matter what your skin type is though, you should always use some kind of sunblock.

No. Microdermabrasion can be used to make your skin look better if it's already been damaged from the sun, but it doesnt stop your skin from getting darker because of sun exposure. In fact, microdermabrasion makes your skin more sensitive immediately after treatment, so you have to avoid the sun. Going under the sun immediately after microdermabrasion treatment will burn your skin, but that's only if you are exposed to the skin on the same day as treatment, otherwise it makes no difference.

Yes, just like the rest of your body.

Yes. Stay out of the sun. If you go into the sun for any reason at all try to cover up; wear long sleeves and a hat. Put sunscreen on. Use SPF 50 at least.but, you have to go in the sun sometimes. you need the vitamin d if you don't have it then you can get sick and you will get some type of blood disease.

Look for something with a lot of bronzers. And make sure you buy from a salon! Don't trust eBay or amazon sellers. I work at a tanning salon and have been personally tanning for years and I'm partial to designer skin products like black, obsidian and 14k gold. The main thing is buy from a trusted salon and spend a little extra on a really good product! You get what you pay for.

They are used to go to the salon and get all dolled up. ^_^

Yes. Though using a tanning bed is the choice, I feel that not everyone is willing to look toward the long term effects of using a one. Negative effects may not be noticeable the day after, but may take place twenty years down the road. When tanning beds came out in the 1980's, my mom used them because it was no big deal. A couple years ago, nearly twenty years after, she had a malignant mole removed. Now my mom wasn't a person who sat in a tanning bed every single day. She only used one every once in a while, but from that came dangerous results. I speak from experience when I say that teens don't think about all of their actions. In the case of tanning bed restriction, I believe that no one can be stopped from using a tanning bed permanently, but they can be educated on the negative effects. A compromise could be not completely restricting the use of tanning beds to teens, but making a reduction in the time allowed to spend in a tanning bed. Coming to a compromise isn't a permanent solution to this problem, but it is a start.

Depends on what type you are using. If the tanner tans by pigments in the tanning cream, several good washings of the skin will lighten your skin considerably. If the tanner tans by stimulating your skin to make more melanin, your skin will change color when it renews itself, which will take a few weeks.

In general, tanning is the process whereby melanocytes produce melanin, which gives the skin a red or brown pigment.

There are two mechanisms by which this happens:

1) UV-A radiation creates oxidative stress, which oxidizes existing melanin, leading to darkening of the skin. UV-A can also cause the redistribution of melanin via release from melanocytes. This production of melanin helps to prevent sunburn due to UV-B exposure.

2) UV-B radiation triggers an increase in the production of melanin (melanogenesis), which is the body's reaction to photodamage (bonding of pyrimidine to form dimers...a type of radiation-induced chemical damage to the bases of DNA and RNA). Melanogenesis leads to delayed tanning, becoming visible about 72 hours later.

While UV-A tanning is much more short-lived and serves as a protection mechanism against UV-B, at least some DNA photodamage must be produced to yield the long-term effects of tanning created by UV-B-induced melanogenesis.
