  Airbrush tanning is one of the latest technologies for getting a natural-looking yet safe tan. By 2010, most consumers were aware of the dangers of tanning and too much sun exposure; airbrushing a tanning solution onto the skin is a heathier alternative. Several airbrush tanning methods can be used, and the resulting tan typically lasts 3 to 5 days.
  
  

Booth Airbrush Tanning

• One of the easiest ways to get a quick spray tan is to use a standup tanning booth to be sprayed from head to toe by automated airbrushes. This method is popular because you can step into a private room, undress, tan, and dry off privately. If you're uncomfortable being sprayed by another person while clad only in your underwear, this may be ideal. You can wear your underwear or nothing at all.
  
  

Spray-Hose Airbrush Tanning

• To get a more personalized spray tan, some tanners have a professional spray every inch of their body with tanning solution until they're completely coated and the tan is even. This is ideal for tanners who have an uneven skin tone and need specific attention to certain areas. It can be done while you're wearing underwear or nude.
  
  

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) Tanning

• An ingredient called DHA is added to spray tanning mixtures, regardless of which of the previous two methods is used. It has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is known to enhance your natural skintone. It is visible as soon as the spray is applied, so you can immediately see what your spray tan will look like once it is completely absorbed into the skin. This ingredient is safe for your skin and considerably safer than tanning with UV rays.
