From the time that some individuals started thinking that a suntanned body makes them look trimmer, presumably on the same principle that black clothing makes you look trimmer than white clothing, there has been a dash for instantaneous tans and there is no more instant a tan than to have one painted on. This is known as airbrush tanning.

Airbrush tanning can appeal on different levels. It is quick, you can get any shade you like and there is no risk from UV rays natural or man-made. lots of individuals are frightened by the stories of melanoma that they can get by sunbathing or using a tanning bed, so an instant golden bronze colour seems quite an appealing alternative.

The craze for airbrush tanning has spurred the tanning industry to produce an overwhelming range of airbrush-look-alike products. There are creams and lotions and even pills that the manufacturers claim will turn your skin an attractive golden bronze. Unfortunately, most of them colour your skin a rather ridiculous shade of orange.

Then there are the home airbrush tanning kits. Real airbrush tanning is the equivalent of having your car resprayed. You can either have it done by a specialist who has professional spraying equipment or you could go out and purchase a dozen cans of your favourite colour car spray paint and do it yourself.

A car sprayed in the former manner normally looks great, but a car sprayed in the latter manner normally looks dreadful. Well, the same goes for professional salon airbrush tanning and home airbrush tanning. Even amongst professional spray painters some are better than others, so it is best to ask around before you let anyone airbrush you.

So, these are the greatest worries with airbrush tanning. You cannot do it yourself; you cannot trust a friend to do it for you; it is doubtful whether you can even purchase the right apparatus to do it yourself and where do you find a professional whom enough people have allowed to practice on them so that he or she is any good?

Because a decent airbrush tanner will need the right equipment and lots of experience. It is not a trade that can be learned from a book. Airbrush tanning is still a fairly new phenomenon, so a good tanner might be hard to find outside a large city, but you could try asking the owner of your local tanning salon to get one in once a fortnight for those who have booked in advance. A type of guest appearance.

As with any paint job, the secret to a decent finish is preparation. If you have never been spray-painted before make sure that you prepare yourself in the correct manner. Ask your salon to supply you with a list of things that you can do in order to prepare your body properly.

Preparatory procedures might include shaving and exfoliating but will entail removing all make-up and body oils by showering well. This will give the paint a good substrate to cling to. The better the preparation you do the better and longer-lasting the airbrush tan – ask any painter and decorator or car sprayer.
