These days, tan, sun-kissed skin has come to signify health and vitality. However, we now know that tanning in UV rays can cause serious, long-term damage to skin cells. Yet many people still feel that they look their best with a golden glow. For this, the alternative that has grown tremendously in popularity is spray tanning.
A spray tan is the safest and easiest way to achieve the look you want for summer. They work by staining the skin with a harmless colorant that mimics the effect of a real tan. Most professional spray tans are done at tanning salons. The tan involves entering a special tanning booth and following instructions to ensure that the spray formula covers your body evenly. You will be assisted by the salon’s staff, so getting the tan you want will be a simple process. The professional tan also takes steps to ensure that you will not have an overdeveloped tan on those areas that absorb color more easily. Since their invention, there have been many improvements to the spray tan process and formula, so getting the tan is easy and the look is natural.
Some people choose to develop their tan at home using self-tanners. Though it can be more difficult to get a perfect tan this way, with attention and practice, at-home tanning can lead to a nice and natural look. Spray tans have an advantage over creams or lotions because they are easier to apply and give more even coverage. If you are doing a light tan, or are experienced with spray tans, at-home treatments may be more cost-effective. However, if you plan to get a very dark tan, it is better to have a professional’s help.
Whether getting a professional spray tan or doing it yourself, there are a few ways you can ensure you will have a better-looking, longer-lasting tan. First, remember to exfoliate your skin before tanning. Pay special attention to rough areas like the knees and elbows. Exfoliating will help prevent these rough areas from overdeveloping color and will make for a smoother, more even tan. Second, be careful not to over-tan your hands. It can be a sure giveaway that your tan is fake. Finally, to maintain your spray tan, moisturize your skin frequently and try not to exfoliate. This will help keep the top layer of skin from flaking off and leaving a blotchy appearance.
