What is the active ingredient for tanning products?
-
Melanin
-
Dehydroxyacetone
-
Hydroxyacetone
-
Dead skin cells
Correct Answer
A. DehydroxyacetoneExplanation
Dehydroxyacetone is the active ingredient in tanning products. When applied to the skin, it reacts with the amino acids in the dead skin cells on the outermost layer of the skin, resulting in a temporary browning or tanning effect. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the natural color of the skin, hair, and eyes, but it is not the active ingredient in tanning products. Hydroxyacetone is not a recognized ingredient in tanning products. Dead skin cells are not an active ingredient but rather a component of the skin that can be affected by tanning products.Rate this question:

-

-
Arthritis
Correct Answer
A. Severe asthmaExplanation
Severe asthma is a contra-indication to spray tanning because the chemicals and fumes from the tanning solution can potentially trigger an asthma attack or worsen respiratory symptoms. People with severe asthma have sensitive airways and are more prone to experiencing breathing difficulties or allergic reactions when exposed to certain substances. Therefore, it is not recommended for individuals with severe asthma to undergo spray tanning to avoid any potential health risks.Rate this question:

How long does a full body spray tan take?
-
1 hour
-
45 minutes
-
15 minutes
-
30 minutes
Correct Answer
A. 30 minutesExplanation
A full body spray tan typically takes around 30 minutes to complete. This process involves evenly spraying a tanning solution onto the entire body, which needs some time to dry and develop. While the actual spraying may only take a few minutes, the drying time is essential to ensure that the tan sets properly. Therefore, 30 minutes is a reasonable estimate for the duration of a full body spray tan.Rate this question:

Dehyroxyacetone is a colorless sugar. This means that it does not have any pigmentation or color.

Despite its name, it is not a chemical or a nail enamel remover, but rather a naturally occurring substance that is derived from plants.Rate this question:
