Rio Pro-Brush Tanning System At last a gorgeous, risk free, professional tan achievable all year round, in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

The Rio Pro-Airbrush Tanning System promises to make you look good and feel great - you can get a whole body tan, including your face, using airbrush technology, without resorting to sitting in the sun for long periods or using sun beds.

A natural, golden glow that develops in just 4-6 hours and lasts for up to 7 days. No streaks, no blending, no messy hands and most importantly, no damaging UV rays!  Airbrush tanning is so quick you can self tan your entire body, including your face, in just minutes!

Today we are all well aware of the dangers of sunbathing and using sunbeds. However, using self-tanning you can have a healthy looking tan at any time of the year, without the risks of UV.

The self-tan colour comes from the active ingredient DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) which works with the proteins in the top layers of the skin to produce a semi-permanent tanned colour.

The final colour is dependent on each person's skin, and gives a very natural appearance. Some people will become slightly darker than others, although, as a general rule, people who have very fair skin notice more of a difference than those with a good colour already. The professional tanning solution develops over several hours to produce a tan which will last between four and seven days depending on skin type, humidity and lifestyle.

Some tips for using the Rio Pro-Airbrush Tanning System:

It's a good idea to practice first with just water, on the inside wall or glass of the shower cubicle. A bit of trial and error will show you how to adjust the flow adjustment nozzle, to get a very fine steady mist (much finer than you get from cans of fake tan).

The flow using the Rio Pro-Brush Tanning System should be a very fine steady mist - too much flow and it drips, too little flow and the spray is almost entirely air. Don't worry - you'll soon get the hang of how to adjust the flow, and it will save you a small fortune in salon fees.

If, at your first attempt, you don't get an even tan, you can apply a tan remover (San Tropez Self Tan Remover will remove the tan instantly, if used within 4 hours of applying the tan).

Alternatively, have a go at tanning only the legs - if your first attempt is a bit patchy, and you haven't got any San Tropez Self Tan Remover to hand, you can always wear trousers for a week!

It's helpful if you have a friend or partner who can spray the back of your body - it may not be easy to do a really good job on the back on your own.
