The 1st of Many

I am starting this blog about different aspects of sunless tanning and hopefully make more people in Birmingham and surrounding areas more aware of our companies services. Sunkissed Mobile Spray Tanning's goal is to help people achieve a very natural glow and avoid long term damage that traditional tanning can potentially cause.

Airbrush Tanning is the choice of the National Association of Dermatologists and also the National Skin Cancer Association. Most physicians will advocate a choice of sunless tanning versus tanning in the traditional manor.

Why did I start Airbrush Tanning?

When my husband was diagnosed with cancer our lives were changed forever. Seeing what he has had to go through to live was almost too much to handle. I had always used tanning beds but I also would usually burn. When I went to my Dermatologist and she warned me of what I was doing to my skin and the potential of getting skin cancer I knew that I would never tan the traditional way again. Don't get me wrong, I still get outside and love being in the sun and I still get a little color from this but I wear sunblock or sunscreen and I minimize my exposure to avoid burning that can cause the long term damage.

Now I am committed to only sunless tanning to achieve the same "SunKissed" look that I feel makes my skin look better and healthier. I have tried all types of lotions, spritz, bronzers, gradual tanners, mousses and more. The problem I ran into was that it took me quite a while to apply these plus a little help from my husband to get my back, and I had to be really careful or I would wind up with orange hands and black knees and elbows. Sometimes when I thought I was being really careful I would get these anyway. It is the tell tell sign that says "Hey I have a sunless tan." So I tried getting in one of those automated tanning booths. I found it a little intimidating because the tanning attendant gave me tons of instructions and positions to remember and told me I have to get it right or I might get sprayed too much in some areas. It turned out ok but still it just wasn't a relaxing fun experience. Then I discovered HVLP airbrush tanning, this is when a tanning tech (like myself now) applies the solution with an HVLP airbrush over your entire body or areas you prefer to give you the most even natural sunless tan. A tan that can fool anybody, you will have to tell them it is a sunless tan. Having a professional spray a tan on takes 5 minutes or less on average and your done. No worries about how it is going to look because with the instant color guide in the solution you see the tan immediately. It is truly in my opinion the best way to achieve a tanned natural looking glow and avoid long-term damage.

You will have to experience it for yourself to see how great it is so call me and make an appointment to get your Airbrush Tan and save your skin. Your skin will thank you - especially 20 years from now.
