Get A Good Spray Sun Tan

By Haywood Hunter


Everyone wants to have a glowing skin. To get such, you will require to get a tan from the sun. Long exposure to the sun, however, might cause a lot of damage to the skin in form of sunburn and accelerated ageing. Fortunately you can get the same results that you would get from the sun by getting a good spray tan. There are a number of things you should consider to ensure your spray sun tan turns out right.

No makeup should be worn on the day you plan to go and get a spray sun tan. The only makeup that can be permitted is lip balm and mascara. There are some kinds of deodorant that are known to react with the tanning solution and may start forming patches on the armpits. It is advisable that you try and put on no deodorant at all on the day of your spray tan.

Do not shower up to twelve hours after getting your spray sun tan. The formula usually takes about ten hours to get fully absorbed into your skin. Showering before this time will wash out some of the tanning solution and you will end up with a lighter shade than you desire. Also, do not moisturize your skin after getting your sun tan, as this might prevent the tan from being absorbed by your skin.

By sweating, and having dripping water on your body, some of the spray sun tan will wash off and leave undesirable streaks. Try and avoid any activities that will cause you to sweat. Also, avoid swimming and water activities. Water and sweat will cause the spray sun tan to streak leaving undesirable streaks.

After showering, pat dry, do not rub. This way your spray sun tan stays intact. Also, do not exfoliate your skin or shave it. Exfoliating will remove the top layer of skin that contains the tan and the skin will end up pale.

After getting sprayed, do not apply bronzing product. The tanning solution usually contains this product hence using both together will make you look unnatural. Avoid wool, nylon and silk immediately after your spray sun tan as they stain quite easily. Wear loose clothing that will not wipe off the tanning solution before it is fully absorbed.

Consult your beauty therapist and inform them of the products that you use. Certain products such as bar soaps are known to remove the tan. The therapist will tell you which products you can use on your skin to keep your spray sun tan safe.

Prior to the tanning, exfoliate and get rid of unwanted hair. When you want a spray sun tan for a big event, do a try out early. This will help you choose a suitable shade and see some of the results, such as whether your skin is reacting to the tanning solution.

Moisturize your skin in order to make your spray sun tan last longer while still looking new. When going out to the sun always wear sunscreen. Sunscreen will keep your skin well protected from sunburn. Overexposure to the sun might also make your skin start reacting to the spray tan and become dry.
