About Spray Tanning

There are so many different ways of becoming bronze which are not harmful to your skin. Spray tanning is a great way of becoming bronzed without damaging your skin. You can either visit a beauty salon to have a spray tan or you could even call a therapist who will come to your home to give you a gorgeous glow.

Spray tanning still has the same ingredients as other fake tanning products except for gradual tans which usually have a reduced amount of DHA in them. Spray tans usually develop over a few hours and provide you with a sunless tan.

Before you have a spray tan there are several things which you should do before you have the tan applied well in advance.

Firstly you should remember to exfoliate your body all over. Make sure that you concentrate on the dry parts of your body such as knees and elbows. These are parts where fake tan can stick to and cause darker patches if you do not exfoliate correctly. Make sure that you use an exfoliate which doesn't have oil in it as it can stop the fake tan from penetrating the skin.

Secondly make sure that all of your areas on show have been shaved such as your arms and legs. This can help to make sure that the fake tan goes on smoothly. Make sure that you shave your legs at least 24 hours before you have the spray tan as you may get the tan into your pores which can look spotty and should be avoided at all times.

After you have shaved your legs wait a few hours and then moisturise your body paying extra attention to the dry parts of your body such as knees and elbows. You may also need to moisturise your feet and ankles as these areas are also prone to fake tan sticking to them

When you visit the beauty salon or when you are having spray tans at home you should make sure that you have loose clothes on as if you are not fully dried you may find that your clothes can rub the tan off. Loose clothing helps to keep the tan streak free until it is properly dried.

After you have had the spray tan make sure that you leave enough time to be fully dry. If you want to achieve the best tan then leaving sufficient time for drying is essential.

Alternatively you could have a spray tan party. Gather your friends up and get them to meet at your home. You could book a spray tanning therapist who will arrive at your home with a number of items from disposable pants and bras for the more reserved individuals and also a pop up tent which is used to make sure that the spray tan is not transferred onto walls or other house hold items.

The spray tan for the host may be free if you have 5 people or more. What could possibly be more girly than having a spray tanning party?

However if you do not want to have a party some salons and mobile spray tan professionals let you book five sessions of spray tanning and sometimes get the 6th session free, which is great for spray tanning junkies.
