The Best DHA Spray Tan Solutions

With so many Spray tan solutions on the market today, it can be very confusing on which brands to buy for your business. Because of the popularity of spray tanning, many companies large and small are providing their own brands of DHA tan solutions. Salon owners spend hours looking at different DHA formulas and still they end up taking a chance with the tanning solutions they purchase. With no where to look on the internet for reviews of the different types, this makes it even harder for salon owner to find what they are looking for in a great airbrush tan solution.

We can’t say that any solution is better than the next, but we can tell you what to look for in a solution for the best results. A most have for any good DHA solution is moisturizer. Make sure your solution has plenty of moisturizers in the DHA and in the tan extenders. This is one of the main ingredients in producing a healthy spray tan. Look for solution made with purified water. Alcohol based preparations will be more suitable for oily-skinned users. Technically, DHA provides some minimal, short-lived protection against UV rays. Alpha hydroxyl acids promote the sloughing off of excess dead skin cells so should improve the evenness of coloration. These are ingredients to look for in a great solution for you and your business.

DHA solution also comes in Scented and Unscented formulas. Most scented Solutions have fruity fragrances for tropical fresh smell like grapefruit and coconut scents. These will not affect the solution and are most often used in Organic solutions.

Be careful in ordering organic solutions. These are a very popular item but they also do not last as long and if not mixed properly, will leave a tan streaky and blotchy looking. Choose more popular organic solutions and consider the different levels more closely with your clients.

Advance IPF Solutions are also a very rare product to find. These solutions are sold only by a few companies and are more costly. Some of the benefits of the IPF solutions are that they develop the tan in about 2 hours rather than 4 to 8 hours like other solutions. IPF tan solutions are also less sticky and go on more smoothly when applying. With IPF solution you often can charge a little extra in your services. Spray tan solutions on the IPF are a very natural looking tan and do give some of the best results for your clients.
