The beauty (and safety) of airbrush tanning.

Like most coastal cultures, Victoria, BC can appreciate the art and beauty of a flawless tan. Bronze, historically, is a mark of the gods; the gleam of this metallic hybrid so often associated with the chiseled forms of heroic figures, cast to immortalize physical perfection.  Through the ages, bronzing has [quite appropriately] evolved to qualify the beauty of sun-kissed skin – the tone that brings us that much closer to our godly ancestors (or aspirations).

The popularity of self-tanning has grown in leaps and bounds as tanning products have evolved to mimic the natural tones of the skin.  Leading the tanning industry today is an organic compound-formula of DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) which reacts with amino acids in the outer most layer of the skin causing a browning effect.  Other varieties of products oxidize on the skin’s surface or contain color additives that appear quite orange and unnatural on the skin.

Cosmedica is an exclusive partner of Revitaglow – Victoria, BC’s premier mobile airbrush tanning service featuring the highest quality organic DHA-based tanning formulations.  Revitaglow airbrush tans are professionally applied with state-of-the-art air-compressed technology for a flawless finish.  Every application is specifically tailored in colour to match natural skin tone and additions like shading can accentuate and define abdominal and leg musculature.  Prepare for your tan with a shave and exfoliation prior to the application and then prolong with daily moisturizing lotion (something free of acids).  Visit www.revitaglow.ca for other valuable tips and information on this exceptional service.

Revitaglow luxury tanning at Cosmedica is a dermatologist’s hope for sun lovers – protect yourself from harmful UV radiation without compromising the bronzed look you love.  It is important to note self-tanning products do not offer any protection from UV rays.  Maximize defense with regular use of an SPF 30 or higher.
