How long does a cane tan last? Cane tan - all you wanted to know about it. Rules of conduct after the procedure
Thanks to the solarium, a beautiful tan has become available at any time of the year. But staying under the "artificial sun" has a number of contraindications and undesirable effects.
A safer option is an instant (reed) tan with the help of special ones.
Consider the features and principle of operation of these funds.
How does the lotion work?
The instant tanning procedure consists in spraying cane lotion onto the skin from a spray bottle.
Its formula includes substances that interact with the epidermis.
They react with amino acids and integument proteins, resulting in the formation of melanoidins - compounds that give the skin a brown tint.
Sunburn appears 2-10 hours after application.
Advantages:
- a good lotion does not give a carrot or yellow tint, as is the case with self-tanning cream, as a result of its use, a golden or bronze tone is obtained;
- the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation are excluded, which is especially important for people with sensitive skin;
- the technique is not contraindicated in oncological pathologies;
- lotion rarely causes negative reactions from the skin;
- the procedure is allowed to be repeated every week as needed.
Flaws:
- specific smell of lotion;
- the product dries the epidermis, with frequent use, dehydration of the skin may occur;
- it is washed off after 7-14 days as the stratum corneum is exfoliated, the face and palms brighten most quickly;
- an active lifestyle (swimming in the sea, swimming pool, visiting the sauna, exercising in the gym) reduce the duration of tanning;
- when using a low-quality lotion, there is a risk of getting an unwanted shade and spots on the skin.
Vileo about the effect of instant tanning
Instant tan has no contraindications. But the risk of side effects (allergies, uneven staining) increases during pregnancy, with hay fever, weakened immunity, and taking hormonal drugs. In addition, the procedure is not recommended for acne, psoriasis, eczema.
Compound
The main ingredient in instant tan lotions is dihydroxyacetone (DHA).
It is a monosaccharide derived from sugar cane.
The substance was discovered in 1950 and was used in the treatment of diabetes.
DHA has been widely used to give the skin a bronzed tint about 15 years ago.
Dihydroxyacetone is harmless to the integument, since it only affects the epidermis, changing its tone.
The composition of some drugs includes erythrulose, a monosaccharide isolated from ripe raspberries. It provides a lighter tan with a yellowish undertone. The final shade develops later and is washed off faster than with DHA. Often, erythrulose and dihydroxyacetone are combined, which results in a uniform color and a lasting effect.
As supplements, preparations for instant tanning contain moisturizing ingredients (aloe vera), vitamins and other additives that have a positive effect on skin condition.
In addition, most products contain bronzers (pigments). They are washed off during the first shower, but allow the master to visually control the application process, and also give an idea of the final shade.
Lotions do not contain sunscreen ingredients. After the procedure, you can visit the solarium or the beach, but you must apply special creams with filters from UV-A and UV-B to the skin.

How to use?
Preparation
The effect of using an instant tan lotion largely depends on the condition of the skin. It should be prepared in advance.
- Within a few days before the procedure, the integument must be actively moistened with creams, creams, and milk. For dry skin, apply the product 2-3 times a day.
- 8-12 hours before the session, it is imperative to thoroughly scrub the entire body. Do not use products with salt and oils. Suitable preparations with ground bones, sugar, coffee.
- Take a shower 1-1.5 hours before the procedure. After that, cosmetics should not be applied to the skin. It is also undesirable to use perfume and deodorants.
- If there is a lot of sweat and fat secretions on the covers, it is recommended to carry out a liquid peeling immediately before using the lotion.
It is important that the skin is clean and dry before an instant tanning session. Dead cells, make-up residues (especially oily), grease, sweat and other impurities can lead to uneven or weak staining of the integument.
Procedure
To apply an instant tan, the client enters the booth, where the master sprays lotion on him using a turbine or compressor unit. The procedure can be carried out at home using a mobile turbine-based atomizer. A portable, compact canvas tent is used to protect the surrounding furniture.
During the session, the client can stay in underwear (preferably special disposable) or without it, in addition, overlays are used. First, the lotion is sprayed on the front of the body, then on the back and sides, and finally on the face.
To obtain a uniform shade, the master can increase / decrease the intensity of the supply of funds in different zones.
The whole procedure takes about 20 minutes. 
After the session
Within 5-10 minutes after applying the lotion, it is absorbed. Then you can put on loose clothes. She might get a little dirty.
Since most products include a bronzer, the skin color will change immediately, but the final shade will appear after 2-10 hours (the master should tell the exact time).
During this period, it is forbidden to press the shower and allow water to come into contact with the skin, as well as to play sports, dance and visit the sauna.
After the specified period, it is allowed to swim in warm water, but without a washcloth. In this case, the bronzer pigment will be washed off, and the result will become visible.
Instant tan fades as the epidermis exfoliates. This process is accelerated by frequent water procedures, skin scrubbing, visiting a bath, using hard washcloths.
In addition, the time of year affects the durability - during the warm period, the sweat and sebaceous glands produce more secretions, the tan "leaves" faster than in winter.
To slow down skin lightening, you should constantly use moisturizers.
On average, sunburn disappears after 6-9 days.

What is an Instant Tanning Treatment?
Instant tanning is a procedure that allows you to achieve a tanned skin color in the shortest possible time, and of varying intensity, by applying a special solution to the surface of the body. Its main active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone, in direct contact with the epidermis, provides skin coloring in a color close in tone to a tan shade. Due to the fact that this substance is obtained from cane sugar in production, the procedure is often referred to as "cane tanning".
ATTENTION! It should be noted that in lotions from Curasano, together with dihydroxyacetone (DHA), an additional active ingredient is horse chestnut pomace, which provides a more even manifestation of the tan, when DHA stops acting and achieves the most natural skin tone, ensuring the preservation of the tan for a rather long period of time. .
The procedure is performed using a spray gun that sprays the solution onto the surface of the body. After a few hours, you can already enjoy the full result.

Hello! In this article we will talk about cane tan. This is the safest and most harmless tan of all. It can be called Hollywood, instant or DHA-tan.
cane tan
If you want to be admired by others with an alluring chocolate skin color, you just need to become the owner of a cane tan. The secret of uniqueness is that a lotion is applied to the skin, the main component of which is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) . It can be both natural and synthetic; it is extracted from sugar cane, which is why its name is connected. After American scientists came to the conclusion that DHA can be used for instant bronzing of the skin, it began to be called not only cane, but also instant. He immediately won the love of famous actors and musicians, which is the reason for the alternative names - Hollywood or California tan.
Cane tan is attractive because you become tanned immediately after leaving the beauty salon. It looks natural, without an orange or yellow cast. Such a tan will be washed off gradually and evenly, as the upper layer of the epidermis is updated. Deeper components of the agent do not penetrate and are not absorbed into the blood, because. pigment is formed only on dead skin cells. This is due to the possibility of using this type of tan during pregnancy and lactation by women. It has no contraindications for people with sensitive, allergenic, problematic, pigmented and burnt skin. Due to the fact that moisturizing components, antioxidants and amino acids are added to dihydroxyacetone, the skin becomes not only bronzed, but also soft, silky, well-groomed.
How cane tan works
Initially, dihydroxyacetone was part of the drugs for glycogenosis. Dr. Eva Wittgenstein noted that children develop brown pigment around their mouths after taking medication. As a result, she conducted an experiment, applied a compound containing dihydroxyacetone to her skin, which immediately darkened.
Currently produced a large number of special products for cane tanning with different percentages of DHA in its composition (up to 18%). They are applied to the skin using professional equipment. Its main principle of operation is the supply of a jet of air under pressure to split the cream into small particles. It is they who, when in contact with the skin, form an instant tan.

When shopping for an instant tan, keep in mind that the higher the percentage of DHA, the darker the skin tone will be. If it contains a bronzer, then the tanning effect will be noticeable immediately after the procedure. If the lotion is colorless, then the tan will appear in 10-12 hours. It is better to entrust the selection of a tan shade to professionals, from a wide range they will choose exactly the one that will suit you perfectly, taking into account your individual skin characteristics.
How long will Airbrushing last?
- exclude any contact with the skin for the first 15 minutes after the procedure;
- do not use water for 6 hours, do not wear a bra and jewelry, refuse to engage in active sports, try not to allow heavy sweating, do not resort to the services of a hairdresser, beautician, manicurist, do not apply any cosmetics, do not sit on leather furniture;
- after 7-8 hours, wash only with water, the use of soap can provoke the appearance of stains.
If you want to keep an instant cane tan for a longer period of time, it is contraindicated to use various peelings, epilation, visiting the sauna and swimming pool. Any chlorine-containing water negatively affects the quality of the tan shade. Dry skin is prone to flaking, which can lead to rapid skin lightening. To avoid this, you need to regularly apply a moisturizer for the body.
There is another way to prolong the effect of sunburn. When choosing a lotion for cane tanning, pay attention to the composition, it should contain not only dihydroxyacetone, but also erythrulose. With its help, DHA penetrates deeper into the skin, respectively, the bronze tint lasts longer than usual. Erythrulose is absolutely harmless, it is obtained from polysaccharide molecules enriched with natural dyes. Erythrulose lotion should not exceed 5%, otherwise there is a risk of acquiring a “yellow” skin tone.
Price

Medical opinion about Cane tanning, as well as answers to frequently asked questions.
Instant tan is a relatively new service for Russia, which allows you to get a tan of varying intensity after applying a special solution to the skin. Also, the procedure for obtaining an instant tan is now known as the "Hollywood tan" or "Sun Spray".
Pros and cons
Such a tan has a number of advantages that make the procedure more and more in demand.
- Any depth and saturation of tan color.
During the procedure, you can get a tan of any intensity from a light summer cottage to a rich sea tan.
The shade is selected before the procedure, then the specialist selects the desired concentration of bronzing lotion to obtain the desired shade.
- Compact and mobile equipment to perform.
The procedure can be performed both in the salon and at the client's home. The salon has a special booth. And the specialist takes a special tarpaulin tent to the client’s house, which eliminates the splashing of lotion on furniture, walls and interior items.
- Safety of cosmetics used for carrying out.
Unlike tanning, which can be obtained in the sun or in a tanning bed, instant self-tanning is absolutely safe and can be used even during pregnancy.
A tan obtained with a bronzer does not cause burns, the development of cancerous tumors on the skin, or exacerbation of chronic diseases.
- Fast results regardless of skin type.
To get a tan, the intensity of which can be like after a month in a Mediterranean resort, one procedure is enough. You do not need to get used to the sun for a long time, you do not need to go to the solarium for weeks. All that is needed is to apply a special lotion to the skin once and let it manifest.
- Self-tanning lotion smoothes the complexion.
If you choose a sufficiently intense color of the lotion, which will be darker than moles and age spots, the skin will acquire a uniform shade. An excellent tool for those who want to hide freckles and pigmentation foci. You can also use an instant tan for vitiligo to cover light spots on the skin.

Minuses
- The effect does not last long.
Artificial tan remains on the skin in its original form for only a few days, and then gradually washed off. In fact, the saturation of the color decreases in the process of exfoliation of the upper stratum corneum of the skin, which is constantly being renewed.
- After the procedure, you can "go spots."
The peculiarity of lotions for instant tanning is that the color is taken worse in certain places:
- where the skin is in contact with clothing (belts, elastic bands, tight trousers);
- where there is cosmetics or the skin is oily (the T-zone on the face may be lighter than the cheeks);
- where the skin sweats more (under the knees, in the armpits, under the breasts).
Therefore, it is advisable to prepare for the procedure correctly, and it is even better to perform it at home. An uneven tan color is also obtained as the skin exfoliates. Where the skin is renewed faster, the intensity of tanning will decrease.
- Artificial tan does not make the skin resistant to sunlight.
When we get a tan in the sun or in a solarium, the skin gradually adapts to the action of ultraviolet radiation due to the production of melanin and an increase in the thickness of the epidermis. During the artificial tanning procedure, the protective mechanisms in the skin are not activated, so the risk of getting burned on the beach remains.
How it works
Lotions for the procedure have a similar composition. The main agent in them is dihydroxyacetone, which is obtained from cane sugar. It is dihydroxyacetone, when in contact with the epidermis, that provides the manifestation of a color that resembles a natural tan.
For this, it is sometimes also called cane tan. Also, the composition of the funds may include eryrtulose - a sugar that is similar in its chemical structure to dihydroxyacetone.
Thanks to erythrulose, artificial tan lays down more evenly, has a more natural shade and lasts longer due to deep hydration of the skin.
The lotion is sprayed onto the body using a special device. After the drug is applied, it manifests itself within a few hours.
Contraindications
The only contraindication that exists for instant tanning is the presence of an allergy to the applied lotion. But since there are a lot of lotions on the cosmetic market, you can choose a remedy that will not cause unwanted reactions.
If in doubt, a skin test can be performed: apply a small amount of the drug to the area of \u200b\u200bthe skin in the bend of the elbow and leave it for several hours. If there is no reaction in the form of redness, burning, itching, then you can safely treat the whole body with the selected lotion.
How is the procedure done
There are no fundamental differences in the technique of carrying out the procedure in the salon and at home.
- Preparatory stage.
Shower before applying bronzer and lightly exfoliate with a hard glove or body scrub. Then the skin must be wiped dry. Apply creams, lotions, use deodorant or toilet water after a shower.
The cream, due to the presence of oils in the composition, will prevent the penetration of instant tanning lotion into the epidermis, so the color can turn out to be very light and uneven.
Deodorants and perfumes can react with lotion ingredients, resulting in irritation or uneven tanning.
- The actual application of the preparation for artificial tanning.
Using a sprayer, the instant tan lotion is sprayed in a thin layer on the skin of the face and body. Then you need to wait 10-15 minutes for the product to dry.
- The final stage.
It takes about 10 hours to fully develop and fix the color. During this time, the following guidelines must be followed.
A tanned body is very aesthetically pleasing. In addition to the fact that chocolate skin tone will make you sexy and attractive, a tan will visually make you slimmer. Today it is not necessary to lie under the sun for hours on end, because there is a great alternative - an instant tan. The procedure has continuous advantages, which cannot be said about traditional sunbathing and solariums. We will tell you everything about this novelty from the preparatory stage to the procedure to the time that an instant tan lasts on the skin.
The essence of the procedure of instant tanning
In America, instant tanning has been popular for quite a long time, but it came to us quite recently. The procedure involves special equipment for instant tanning, with the help of which the smallest droplets of lotion are sprayed onto the skin. The active ingredient of the lotion is dihydroxyacetone. The substance is extracted from sugar cane, which is why this service is also called cane tan. Cane tan is also known as bronzing. To understand why the service is so good, we suggest you compare it with existing alternatives.
Instant tan vs sun
Sunbathing or visiting a solarium exposes your skin to ultraviolet rays. Scientists are doing a lot of research to establish a link between sunbathing and skin cancer, but talking about the dangers of sun exposure does not even have to delve into medicine. Surely, you at least once burned in the sun and you know what kind of torment, not to mention non-aesthetic, such burns can cause. The sun's rays will give you a longer result for free, but an instant tan will make you a chocolate in a matter of minutes, while under the sun you will have to lie down for several days.
Cane tan vs solarium
The solarium and instant tanning have one thing in common - both procedures are salon procedures. But few people know about the dangers of a solarium: it contributes to dehydration and, as a result, skin aging, worsens the condition of your hair, and can lead to skin pigmentation. Among other things, to get a chocolate skin tone, you will need to visit the solarium several times. The solarium has many contraindications, which include gynecological diseases, pregnancy, lactation, heart disease, antibiotics, hormonal drugs. There are no contraindications for cane tanning, unless you have an individual intolerance to the components of the lotion.
Instant tan vs self tan
According to their principle of action, instant tanning lotions are similar to. But you are unlikely to succeed in just applying self-tanning evenly. Even if you use the most expensive product, the advertisement of which promises perfect application and an even shade, you can hardly avoid spots and color transitions. Special equipment for instant tanning allows you to evenly spray the lotion on the surface of the skin. But compared to self-tanning, reed will cost more and you can’t do the procedure yourself at home, although many masters work at home.
Benefits of Bronzing
Summing up, it is worth noting the benefits that you will receive by deciding to buy an instant tan:
- The innovative method is suitable for all skin types.
- This is a real find for white girls who are not very fond of the sun.
- In minutes, you will get a uniform, dark skin tone, which none of the alternative methods described above can boast.
- The tanning lotion used in the procedure consists of 70% natural ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the health of your skin.
The disadvantage of the procedure is that the lotion can stain clothes and bedding during the first week.
Getting started with cane tanning
You can treat both the entire body and face, and only certain areas, such as arms, legs or back. If you want to do bronzing before a solemn event, it is recommended to perform the procedure 1-2 days before an important event so that the shade is fully fixed on the skin and excess lotion is washed off.
Pre-treatment before bronzing
Undoubtedly, some preparation before the procedure is needed, but it is elementary. Without this step, the result may disappoint you.
- First of all, the skin should be thoroughly cleansed, it is better to use a body scrub. Usually, an instant tanning studio provides the client with showers where you can perform this procedure. If there are no such cabins in the cabin, you need to take a shower at home.
- You should not be wearing any cosmetics. Otherwise, the tanning lotion will lie unevenly and may come off prematurely. If you have a procedure, do not use body cosmetics, creams, lotions and even perfumes. The area of the skin where the cosmetic is applied may change color.
- In addition, a couple of days before going to the salon, you need to remove unwanted hair from the body. Then, by the time of the procedure, all the products used for epilation will be washed off the skin. If you epilate after bronzing, your skin tone may be uneven.
Step-by-step scheme of the bronzing procedure
The procedure takes from 5 to 15 minutes, the step-by-step scheme looks like this:
- If the instant tanning studio of your choice provides for this, you will peel the skin, if not, you will have to do it at home.
- The master will offer you a protective cream for your palms, because as you know, they do not sunbathe, and if the spray gets on them, it will look unnatural.
- After that, the master will use a special sprayer to apply tanning lotion to your body, including your face. You will feel how your body is blown by a stream of warm air. When the master begins to process the face, hold your breath so as not to inhale the lotion.
- Your skin will only slightly darken at the end of the procedure.
- Do not wear clothes for another 5-7 minutes until the lotion is completely absorbed.
The procedure is completed, but you will see the final result in 4-8 hours. At this time, it is not recommended to take a bath, play sports or in any other way affect the skin. The lotion should be well absorbed, then you will get an excellent result that will delight you for 1-2 weeks, depending on the type of skin.
Negative reviews are quite common on the net about any service, and instant tan is no exception. In order for your result to please you with an even skin tone for the maximum possible time, follow these simple recommendations:
- When you go for your bronzing, wear dark, loose-fitting clothing. Girls often complain that the lotion does not have time to dry and, returning home from the salon, they will be disappointed in the form of stains on the skin. Clothing should not be tight, then there will be no problems.
- The first shower can be taken 8 hours after the session. It should be fast, without scrubs and hard washcloths. Do not dry yourself with a towel, but lightly blot your skin with it.
- Use body moisturizers daily for longer lasting results.
- Do not apply alcohol-based products to the body. Apply eau de toilette to hair or clothing, not skin.
- Don't skimp on the process. Remember that the result of bronzing, like the result of any other manipulation, depends on the level of professionalism of the master. Don't go cheap!
