New Aerosol Spray Tan Offers Spray Tanning at Home
Bahama Bronze is now available to the public for professional “airbrush tanning” at home.
(PRWEB) June 15, 2005 -- A new concept was introduced this month in spray
tanning. It is an aerosol “spray tan at home” airbrush like tanning and bronzing
system. Bahama Bronze (www.bahamabronze.com) now offers a safe alternative to
consumers to tanning.
Bahama Bronze is now available to the public for
professional “airbrush tanning” at home for a minimal cost. Spray on tanning has
many benefits over lying in the sun. The major plus is no skin damage. The new
spray by Bahama Bronze actually helps the skin. It is safe and healthy to use.
It instantly produces a tan so there is no waiting.
Bahama Bronze is one
of the first companies to use Matrixyl™ in a tanning product. Matrixyl™ is an
amino-peptide (pentapeptide) that mimics a fragment of procollagen Type I by
stimulating the matrix molecules (Collagen I, III and IV and Fibronectin) to
reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This new formula not only offers consumers a
great tan but helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles. A recent study shows
Matrixyl™ dramatically improves fine lines and wrinkles. This spray on tanning
product can be used externally on the face and entire body.
DHA is the
secret to this spray tan. DHA is a 3 carbon sugar that's inherently non-toxic
and works by interacting with the dead skin cells found on the outer layer of
your skin (epidermis), resulting in a brownish color change. Then as these dead
skin cells naturally wear away, the bronze color begins to fade; usually within
7-10 days of application. It was originally derived from raw sugar cane, but is
most often produced from a vegetable source such as sugar
beets.
Depending on the source, DHA was used as far back as the 1920's
for a wide variety of reasons ranging from treating glycogen disorders to
covering vitiligo. It first appeared in a cosmetic in the form of a tanning
product from Coppertone in the 1960's, and was it approved for general use in
cosmetics during the 1970's. Admittedly, many of these early sunless tanning
products didn't work all that well and tended to create more of an orange tone
rather than a bronze tan. Even some self tanning lotions and pump sprays you can
find in stores today still use low concentrations of DHA, and will give you a
streaky, orange looking tan.
The good news is that with the advanced
refining processes available to derive DHA today, it's possible to produce a
formula that creates a perfect golden tan with each and every use. At present
the average concentration of DHA you'll find in a sunless tanning product is
around 5%. However, Bahama Bronze spray tan in a can uses an 8% DHA
concentration, which is very close to what is used by professional airbrush
tanning machines and misters. The fact is that a higher concentration of DHA in
a product produces a darker, more realistic tan. Plus, since Bahama Bronze is an
aerosol spray, it can be applied with smooth even strokes, and doesn't require
any rubbing or blotting.
