Everyone knows that sun exposure, in moderation, is a good thing. Engaging in outdoor activities: gardening, surfing, walking, etc. helps you to remain physically active. Most people feel an immediate boost of energy and vibrancy after stepping outside. Being outdoors & in the sunshine also kicks off the metabolic and chemical reaction that produces Vitamin D.
However, like anything done in excess, the damaging effects of both tanning in the sunlight and/or tanning beds can have both cosmetic and physically damaging effects. I.E. Skin Cancer, early aging, wrinkles, etc. However, modern day America is willing to risk these damaging effects in pursuit of the perfect tan. A golden tan has almost become a fashion accessory "must have" in recent years. Fortunately, there are alternatives to baking in the sun and/or tanning beds: spray on tans.
Spray tans do not use harmful radiation waves to give the skin a golden glow, it uses Dihydroxyacetone or DHA, a chemical approved by the FDA in the 1970's which does not damage the skin, and is considered a safe skin coloring agent and nutritional supplement. It has no known toxicity and allergic reactions are very rare.
How does it work? DHA penetrates only the 1st layer of skin "dead skin cells" and reacts with amino acids to create a tan color on these cells. Certain brands, such as Fake Bake, also include Vitamin D in their ingredients to enhance the benefits of the spray.
If you would like to try a spray tan at home, we recommend Fake Bake. The owners of o2 Wellness use this product and it leaves your skin a smooth, streak free golden brown. To learn more, please contact us today: 949-240-6713.
