It has always amazed me how the majority of celebrities
always look so healthy, tan and absolutely perfect. They show up on the
red carpets looking younger than they are and as stunning as possible.
It makes me envious and yet, curious. Afterall, how can you have a tan
for so many years and not have a single wrinkle? How do they never
manage to gain a single ounce even though the years are moving by
rapidly? Hollywood certainly has some secret weapons to fighting age and
wrinkles, don't they? Plastic surgery has become commonplace now. Don't
like your lips? Change them. Don't like your stomach? Change it. Hate
your hair? Change that too.
I have discovered
through some investigation and advertisements, how the celebrities get
and keep their incredible tans no matter what the season seems to be. It
is called airbrush tanning. It doesn't require weeks of laying in a
tanning bed just to get a base tan. You can walk in pale as can be, and
walk out within 30 minutes and have a tan. I wasn't quite sure what
airbrush tanning really was, so I asked. Airbrush tanning is a mist of
self-tanner that is sprayed onto your body. Some salons have booths that
you can enter and little sprayers will spray the mist onto you. A few
minutes later, you can dry off and walk out with a tan. I was pretty
intrigued about this concept. I had tried self tanning lotions before
and always had an orange tint afterwards which I thought was hideous. I
couldn't help but wonder if getting an airbrush tan would be the same
way.
Everything that I had read or heard about airbrush tanning
was positive. It is deemed safe and there are no harmful dyes or
chemicals. It is a lot safer than exposing yourself to the sun or
tanning beds. Most people that spoke of it claim that it did not make
them look orange, it looked very natural. Supposedly, it also lasted for
a little longer than a week and faded naturally. I had no choice but to
try it. I found a salon near my house that offered airbrush tanning and
decided to go for it. If it didn't like it, I'd just return to my normal
pale appearance - no harm done. I'd never know unless I did try it.
It
was a bit more expensive than I'd anticipated but I imagine the cost
varies from place to place. The only part that I can complain about was
the temperature of the mist as it hit my body. I think that I actually
squealed when the cold mist touched me. Minutes later, I walked out of
the salon, looking more colorful. I'm happy to say that my experience
with airbrush tanning was a positive one. I did not look orange or
streaked, and loved the comments I received on my tan. I am now a fan.
