The Spray Tan Booth - Mechanical Tanning Wonder?Spray tan booths are a good option when it comes to the many sunless tanning alternatives out there. You can read this article to find out how spray tanning booth can help you. You can get a tan in one of the two ways: either manually or mechanically. For a natural looking tan either of these methods is your best bet; but the manual method has a slight edge over the mechanical method. Certain other factors also need to be considered, such as the amount of time you have and what your comfort level requirements are. These factors help to decide whether you get a manual or mechanical tan. A mechanical tan refers to getting a tan in one of the spray tan booths that are thriving. Most spray tanning booths are nothing more than large machine operated booths with nozzles in different areas. You have to position yourself in front of the nozzles, which are then turned on. The tanning solution is sprayed out of the nozzles and onto your skin. 
Mystic Tan's spray tanning machines/booths are a little different. They have patented what's called MagneTan (tm) and what it does is basically magnify your body so that the spray tanning solution (which is turned into a mist) is attracted to your body giving you an even tan. All the other tanning booths don't have this so they rely on multiple spray tan nozzles. This can be a problem because they are basically paint guns which can cause splotches, streaking, and an uneven tan. BUT the technology is getting better like the VersaSpa, which I've heard good things about. Tanning salon staff members should be trained to guide you with regard to preparing for the spay tanning session and the type of clothing you need to wear. Here are some spray tanning tips. Although this video is a sales mechanism for Msytic Tan's MyMyst Spray Tanning Booth, it's does give you a good idea how it works and what you can expect and prepare for... Staff will guide you on how to position yourself to get a full body tan. Make sure you request protective goggles, nose plugs, ear plugs and some kind of lip covers. If they can't provide lip covers make sure you keep your lips covered. It is quite dangerous for the tanning lotion to touch any of the membranes on the body. Depending on the type of chemicals used in the tanning lotion, it can be quite hazardous to health. Spray tan booths are the ideal place when you need to get a quick tan. The manual tan tends to take a lot longer. You can get a manual tan by the airbrushing method; a tanning operator will apply the spray tan by hand onto the body. A low pressure mist gun is used to cover the body in sections. Though protective gear is not really required because the operator is a trained technician and not likely to spray your eyes or nose, it is recommended that you take precautions. Spray tan booths have the advantage of being very private as not everyone likes to have their body viewed by other people. 
The advent of spray tanning booths on the fake tanning horizon has seen sales skyrocket thanks in large part to the fail proof results of spray tanning. You can get perfect custom color application and results. But you have to do a little homework. Not all tanning salons and airbrush tanning salons are the same. Be sure you go to a reputable company for an airbrush tan and ask what spray tanning solution they use. Look it up for reviews. It's all about the solution! If they use cheap solution you will get cheap results. Also, if you do a Msytic Tan be sure the salon is Mystic Tan Certified. If they are not they are not keeping their equipment and products up to date, and they may be using the wrong tanning solution to save money. The experience of a tanning booth has been likened to a visit to a tanning bed - most spray tan booths are in free standing salons and spays. These booths are designed along the lines of a stand up shower stall. The spray values or nozzles perform a 360 degree turn to make full body application possible. You walk out of the tanning booth looking like a bronzed god or goddess! Related Articles: Copyright Tanning Advisor All Rights Reserved. |
