We all want that gorgeous, bronzed glow that hints at frequent tropical vacations and days lounging poolside. These days, there’s a better way to achieve the perfect tan without risking your health. With sunless tanning, you can choose which application method works best for your schedule, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Find out more in this guide!
What is sunless tanning?
Let’s start by covering the various types of sunless tanning you can use to achieve the perfect sun-kissed skin tone.
What is airbrush tanning?
Airbrush tanning is the ideal solution for customized treatments. Expertly curated solutions are applied by hand to ensure seamless coverage and precise application. And if your specialist notices the shade doesn’t quite work with your skin tone, they can adjust the solution as necessary.
What is spray tanning?
Spray tanning is an older method of airbrushing that uses a mechanical spray booth to mist your body with a fine layer of tanning solution. Since it’s fully automated, there’s a higher chance of patchy, uneven results. This is the system that gave “fake tan” its name — after all, it usually doesn’t look natural.
What are self-tanners?
If you’re searching for a solution you can apply at home, self-tanner is for you! You typically apply the solution and allow it to set into your skin for several hours before rinsing. You’ll find these products in various forms, like clear drops, lotions, and foaming mousse. While some brands contain harmful ingredients, including harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, the self-tanners from AGLOW are safe, natural, and non-toxic.
Advantages of sunless tanning
Ready to get your glow on? Here are a few benefits of sunless tanning to get excited about:
Reduce the risk of harmful UV exposure
Sun exposure and UV radiation go hand-in-hand. Even with frequent sunscreen applications, you can’t fully mitigate the risks of accelerated aging when you spend too much time in the sunshine. Sunless tanning offers all the aesthetic perks of lounging in the rays without the negative effects.
Cut the chances of skin cancer
Of course, it isn’t just fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots we’re concerned about. Too much UV exposure drastically increases the risk of skin cancer. Whether you already live an active, outdoor lifestyle or you only languish in the sun for the color, the extra radiation could come back to haunt you.
Fast, natural-looking results
Professional-grade sunless tanning can be applied in minutes, giving your face and body the perfect touch of color. Whether you want a light hint of espresso, a medium glow, or a rich bronze tone, there’s a way to make it happen. Simply allow the solution to settle into your skin for the appropriate amount of time, and you’ll reveal that inner radiance!
Gentle on skin
Organic sunless tanning solutions made with all-natural ingredients like espresso beans and DHA are suitable for just about every skin type. You won’t risk burns, blisters, and hyperpigmentation caused by too much sun exposure. From airbrush tans to self-tanning cream, there’s a gentle solution out there to meet your needs.
What to expect with sunless tanning
Before your first sunless tanning session, you’ll want to know what to expect from the process. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
How long do results last?
In most cases, a sunless tan will last between seven and 10 days, but the methods you choose, your skin type, and how you care for your skin will all impact your results. Exfoliating before your session and keeping your skin hydrated will help you extend the time between sessions.
Consider purchasing a salon-quality self-tanner to help you extend your results between appointments.
How many sessions do you need for the best results?
You can achieve your ideal skin tone with a single session! Clients looking to maintain a year-round kiss of color might schedule airbrush tanning sessions three to four times per month, while those who want to look great for a special occasion may be happy with a single visit.
Who is a good candidate for sunless tanning?
Pretty much anyone looking for the perfect, healthy glow can benefit from sunless tanning. People with fair skin who burn easily and those searching for a UV-free tanning solution will enjoy the perks of tanning without the dangerous drawbacks.
