How to Use the Sally Hansen Airbrush Tanning Water
One of the advantages of a tanning water or mist is that application tends to be quicker and easier than traditional lotions or mousses. The Sally Hansen version lives up to this reputation with a fast and simple process:
- Exfoliate skin thoroughly before application to prevent unevenness from dry patches or dead skin cells. Sally Hansen makes their own body scrub that works well for prep.
- Protect palms by wearing the included glove or rubbing a bit of petroleum jelly to prevent over-coloring hands.
- Shake the bottle well. Hold 8-10 inches from skin and spray directly onto areas you want to tan, using long, sweeping motions for even coverage. Rub in gently with palms.
- Layer for deeper color if desired, waiting 5 minutes between coats. Be careful not to overdo it initially – you can always add more.
- Rinse palms after and wait 5 minutes before dressing to allow the self-tanning ingredients to fully develop. Color will continue to darken over the next 24 hours as the DHA reacts.
So simple, right? No messy gloves, mitts or applicators to deal with. This ease-of-use is one of the things I love most about tanning waters. Now let‘s get into the results…
Sally Hansen Good. Kind. Pure. Nail Polish Line
All hope is not lost in Sally Hansen. If you have enjoyed their products up until hearing of all these health hazards, then you’ll be ecstatic to know that Sally Hansen has developed a new line that is free from toxic substances. This is their Good. Kind. Pure. Line. A nail polish that is perfect for vegans as it’s free from animal testing and has complete plant-based ingredients. They come in the form of nail colors and topcoats. If you’re looking for a nail polish that doesn’t have substances like Formaldehyde, this is the nail polish for you.
In fact, it is a Sixteen Free nail polish which means it does not include sixteen toxic ingredients that are usually found in nail polish. Some of these toxins that Sally Hansen advises that this brand of polish is free of are:
Toluene
Toluene is a colorless liquid that turns to vapor when it is exposed to air. The substance is what gives nail polish its silkiness. The very familiar nail polish scent you pick up when you walk into a nail salon comes from Toluene. If nail polish containing Toluene is not used in a space that is properly ventilated, you are putting yourself at risks of experiencing relatively mild reactions such as irritated eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, and confusion to major long-term issues such as pregnancy loss, damage to female reproductive system and numbness in the hands and feet.
Camphor
Xylene
Xylene, like Camphor being exposed to even a small amount of the substance, can cause headaches and dizziness. If used repeatedly, it can affect the proper functioning of your respiratory system as well as your kidneys.
Ethyl Tosylamide
Tips for Using Sally Hansen Airbrush Tanning Water
After multiple trials with this self-tanning mist, I‘ve gathered some handy tips for getting the best possible results:
- Exfoliate but don‘t overdo it – dry or broken skin will grab color unevenly
- Use sparingly on hands/feet which tend to overdevelop
- Wear an old T-shirt at night to prevent transfer onto sheets
- Apply SPF if going outside, as this offers no sun protection
- Mix with regular lotion for maintenance between full applications
- Top with powder foundation if you want added color without reapplying
Following those simple tricks along with the standard application advice will help ensure flawless, even color that mimics a natural tan.
Toxins Present In Sally Hansen Nail Polish
Parabens
Parabens are a group of ingredients that include methylparaben and propylparaben. They are often used in nail polishes and other cosmetic products in order to prevent bacteria and fungi from growing inside them. While this is a useful function, the risk of breast cancer far exceeds its benefit. However, companies like Sally Hansen still use them in their cosmetic products. Frequent exposure to parabens can also disrupt hormones in our bodies that manage fertility and the functioning of our reproductive organs.
It has been so widely used that studies have even detected traces of parabens in nearly all samples of bodily fluids that were taken from adults in the USA.
Triphenyl Phosphate
Triphenyl Phosphate is used as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose which is a substance used in nail polish to form the film on the nail plate once the solvent in the polish is dried.
Aside from causing irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, Triphenyl Phosphate can cause skin allergies resulting in rashes. Repeated exposure to the chemical may lead to damaged nerves as well as a damaged liver and kidneys. You may also experience poor coordination in the arms and legs. Despite this, it is still often used in nail polishes.
Benzophenone
Benzophenone is listed as a possible human carcinogenic. This means that it is one of the chemicals that may have cancer-causing properties. It is used in cosmetic products like Sally Hansen’s to protect the product from damage due to exposure to UV light.
It is also linked to endocrine disruption and toxicity in the organ systems. Women and infants are the most vulnerable to the health hazards of this chemical. Which is worse news when you consider the fact that a majority of women are exposed to the substance.
