Ways Tanning Spray Provides An Option To Suntanning

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning spray is a product used to produce a fake tan. This means that it is a tan that has not been achieved by the sun. There are many salons who help their customers achieve a wonderful natural-looking tan by using a variety of products, and a couple of method of applying these products. Tanning spray is also available on the market for someone to use themselves.



Due to worries of skin diseases such as skin cancer, people are no longer very keen to tan in the sun for hours, or to use suntan beds that use artificial sun rays. Both the sun and the suntan beds produce Ultraviolet rays that are damaging to skin. With many high quality products on the market today, there is no need to expose your skin to harmful UV rays, as tanning spray products enable a tan that is just as good as those that can be attained by the sun or a sunbed. They do not streak or look unnatural.

In general, all salons use the same technique for applying the tanning spray. The actual products are similar too. You just need to choose a salon that is close to your area, and one that you find has friendly and helpful staff members. Tanning spray booths are popular, as the self-tan product is simply sprayed onto the body.



You will feel as if you are in a shower when the tanning spray is being applied. It will come out of a similar nozzle, and will be used in a way that produces varying degrees of tan colors. Before you begin, you will need to specify the type of tan you would like. You can have a light tan, or you can choose a darker tan.

Ask questions before you start the tanning spray procedure, as you will need to enter alone. Salon staff members are usually quite willing to explain the whole procedure, and put any of your fears to rest. They will let you know exactly what you should do, and how the tan will be applied.

In order to achieve a good tan, you must clean your skin before the tanning spray procedure begins. Not at the salon, but at least within a short time of going to the salon. You may need more than just a normal wash in the bath or shower, because exfoliation of the skin is recommended to remove dead skin cells. Once clean, apply a good moisturizer because self-tan products work well when the skin is slightly 'stickier'.

Prepare to be naked when you enter the tanning spray shower. The products used leave marks on material that cannot be washed out, therefore, bare is best. Salon tans are therefore also best for full body tans. There could also be problem with the palms of the hands, as these can come out with an orange appearance. Some people wear plastic disposable gloves to avoid this circumstance during tanning spray.

Stand still in the tanning spray, allowing it to fall on all parts of your body. It will quickly absorb and dry, but the excess can be toweled off. Getting a tan from a professional salon is the quickest and safest way of achieving a naturally tanned look.
