SKIN STRUCTURE IN RELATION TO SPRAY TANNING
Normal skin before spray tan application.
Change in the Horny layer after the spray
tan application.
Note that there are no changes to the
deeper skin layers.
The application of a spray tan differs
greatly from a UV tan. When the spray tan
solution is applied to the skin, the DHA
component reacts with the dead protein of
the skin found in the horny layer. This
reaction produces a browning effect that
resembles a tan.
SKIN STRUCTURE IN RELATION TO SKIN CANCER
Each time the body is exposed to UV rays
some of these rays penetrate deeper in
the skin breaking down the collagen
layers. Over time, especially from longer
periods of exposure, the UV light will
cause abnormal changes in the bodies
cells. This is the major cause of skin
cancer and melanomas.
