Tanning Towels and Airbrush Tanning

Self tanners provide a UV free alternative to getting a healthy looking tan. The three most common self tanners include: sunless tanning and self tanning lotion, tanning towels, and airbrush tanning. Each of these three sunless tanning methods can provide a perfect looking natural tan in minutes.

The most popular self tanners are tanning towelettes and airbrush tanning. Tanning towels come packaged in small air tight packages, these are pre-moistened wipes which are rubbed over the skin to distribute the tanning solution. Airbrush tanning uses compressed air and a tanning airbrush to apply tanning solution as a fine mist. Airbrush tanning products are available as aerosol cans or as professional airbrush tanning systems.

With self tanners it's always important to wear a high SPF sunscreen or sunblock when outside. While these products give your skin the appearance of a real tan - it's not, and your skin can burn easily. A real tan is the only way to build up a natural SPF protection, but even then it's prudent to use sunscreen and sunblock.
