There are a few places on the Internet that\u00a0write about how to get state certified as an Airbrush Tanning Technician.\u00a0 The truth is, as of January 1, 2013, there is no state recognized program or test that you need to take.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve tried to write to those websites a few times with no response cause I feel that they might confuse people about that.\u00a0 Not even beauty school offer a testing program\u00a0on Airbrush Tanning.\u00a0 Now of course this can change anytime so I would always recommend for you to check with your own states State Board of Cosmetology, The FDA and also the Health Department to make sure that there are no new regulations. There are however state certification requirements for indoor tanning but this is meant for salons with tanning beds.<\/p>\n
As of today, in most states there are no tests or state regulated programs for Airbrush Tanning Technicians.\u00a0 The only state where you need to be licensed is Oregon.\u00a0 Oregon requires that you need to be a licensed esthetician in order to do Airbrush Tanning but in all other states you don’t.\u00a0 The Oregon Health Licensing Agency is also working on getting this field regulated.<\/p>\n
Now there are FDA recommendations in Airbrush Tanning but I also wanted to clarify that the FDA does not necessarily approve of the Airbrush Tanning booth or Airbrush Tanning with a spray gun.\u00a0 They have however approved of the ingredient DHA to be used for cosmetic purposes and for external body parts. This is why Sun Tanning Lotions\u00a0are allowed\u00a0because they all have the DHA in them. \u00a0 It will be interesting to see how\u00a0this will change over the years.\u00a0 Personally I feel that the Health Department should probably oversee the health and safety of consumers and technicians so I am looking forward to observe how this will change over the years.<\/p>\n
