How does airbrush tanning solution get me tan?
Sunless tanning solutions contain an ingredient called Dihydroxyacetone, or "DHA" for short. DHA is a carbohydrate that comes from the fermentation of glycerin in plant sources such as sugarcane and sugar beets. DHA is non-toxic and, in the 70's, was placed on the permanent list of approved cosmetics by the FDA.
"DHA reacts chemically with the amino acid groups, which are part of the protein containing keratin layer on the skin surface. Various amino acids react differently to DHA, producing different tones of coloration from yellow to brown. The resulting pigments are called melanoidins. These are similar in coloration to melanin, the natural substance in the deeper skin layers which brown or 'tan', from exposure to UV rays." Source: Wikipedia

Airbrush Tanning Guns
Airbrush tanning guns come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. What you want to look for when getting a spray gun is the diameter range of the spray; how wide and narrow it can spray. Wider sprays cover more body faster, but if you're able to change the width and make it narrow, it's easier to do touch-ups and pronounce certain areas of the body.
There are larger airbrush tanning guns on the market that may require higher amounts of air pressure, so it's a good idea to check to see what PSI is required of your air compressor prior to purchasing a gun.
