Spray tanning is a spray made from a solution with a natural chemical called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This is made from sugar beets, sugar canes and glycerin. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) was first discovered by German scientist in the 1920’s when it was being used for other purposes. Whenever it spilled on their hands, the area turned brown. In 1950’s another scientist from the University of Cincinnati was giving this ingredient to children who had glycogen storage disease. Whenever they spat it up, the areas it spilled on their skin turned brown within an hour. Since then studies have been done and advanced technology today helped bring us to spray tanning solutions. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) confirms this method of skin tanning is completely safe.
DHA is found in all tanning solutions. Like spray tanning it’s also in tanning lotions, creams, tanning gels and even tanning pills. When ever you are trying to find which is right for you should research all your options. Start out by what you can afford. Then decide which method you’d be most comfortable with. Try to go for quality products to get better results. If you normally tan yourself at home there is nothing wrong with going for a professional tan at a spray tanning booth every once in a while. A spray tan in a tanning booth is the most preferred way to get a safe, sunless, UV free tan.
