Do you want the look of having a tan but don't want to sit in the sun or in a tanning bed to do it? If so, you may be interested in getting an airbrush tan. Here is how it works to get an airbrush tan.
Home Preparation
You may be expected to take some steps at home before you get an airbrush tan. This will include exfoliating your skin at home with a product that doesn't contain much oil. It's also important to shave before getting an airbrush tan. Shaving exfoliates the skin and can cause the color to fade faster if you shave soon after the airbrush tan is done.
Safety Precautions
There are several safety precautions that will be taken when you get an airbrush tan. Protective eyewear is going to be used to ensure that none of the tanning chemicals gets into your eyes. You'll also wear nose filters so that you do not inhale the chemicals accidentally. It is also common to wear a protective undergarment and lip balm to protect sensitive skin.
Barrier Cream Application
A barrier cream will be applied to your hands and feet so that they are well protected. The layer of barrier cream is often applied by the professional applying the airbrush tan to ensure that you have the right amount on your skin. Barrier cream may also be applied to elbows and knees if you have very dry skin so that it is protected.
Airbrush Tan Application
The airbrush tanning solution will need to be applied using a consistent motion while holding the spray mechanism at a consistent distance. Doing it in any other way can cause the airbrush tan to look uneven. However, additional passes of the airbrush tanning solution can be used to create contours on your body. For example, you may have some additional passes on the sides of your legs or back in order to do this.
You'll notice that the airbrush tan will be applied in sections. It is common to start on an area like the back so that you can get used to the tanning solution and see how your skin absorbs it. That can help determine how much tanning solution should be used on the rest of the body to achieve full coverage.

My name is Melinda Franklin, and I want to thank you for visiting my website. My husband Joseph is an executive in the firm where he works. This means we have three to five annual formal affairs to attend. I will be the first to admit that I’m not the most fashion savvy person. For years, I would find and wear what I thought was the perfect evening gown for each event, yet never felt quite as lovely as I thought I should. I would admire the other women and wonder why I didn’t feel as stunning as they looked. Then it finally dawned on me --it was my lack of accessories. The other women wore earrings and necklaces that completed their outfits. I haphazardly put on jewelry and accessories that I knew were mundane. I would like to share some accessorizing tips I’m using now.
