The Spray Tan Formula Is The Next Best Alternative To Tanning On A Beach

By Haywood Hunter


For several decades generations of people have been using tanning beds to get that beautiful tan that can only be achieved in the sunlight. However, research reveals that the ultra-violet rays emitted by the special tanning lamps can cause skin cancer. Many people are concerned about this and have found a better way to achieve that healthy tanned look by using a spray tan procedure.



Many people have elected to get their even spray tan in a tanning booth that sprays a special formula that stains the skin. When you step inside the booth you will see a series of spray tan spray nozzles. These will emit a special mist that covers both the front and back of the body in less that one minute. It is important to follow the pre-tan preparations to ensure that the spray tan stain is applied in a uniform manner but this also takes just a few minutes.

The skin should first be exfoliated at home. The less there is of any dry skin on the body the better the stain will stick and look natural. A bit of time invested in scrubbing the face, and especially the knees and elbows will ensure that even application of the tanning spray.

In order to protect the hair, a shower cap should be worn, leaving the ears out so that they too will get tanned. A special gel that creates a coating to repeal the spray should be applied to the palms and soles, as well as between the fingers and the fingernails. The amount of pigment on the bottom of our feet is so nominal that tanning typically doesn't take place here.

When in the tanning booth it is also advisable to wear protection for the eyes so glasses or goggles are advised. Some people also like to insert a nose plug so that they don't breathe in the spray tan mist. Others choose to simply hold their breath for the few seconds the spray is turned on during the tanning process.

The nozzles will discharge a light mist of the tanning formula for about a quarter of a minute. It will feel refreshing to the skin. Keep your arms raised so that this spray will also reach the entire torso. The spray tan mist will automatically shut off and at that point, turn around and repeat the procedure on your back, now keeping the arms in front of your chest, palms facing inwards.

The spraying procedure again will stop after fifteen seconds. You can step out of the booth, remove the goggles and nose plug, and wipe off any residual spray tan formula with a towel. Loose clothing is recommended to ensure that the spray tan is not rubbed off while it is curing for another seven hours.

Many people have found that spray tan is a better alternative to the traditional tanning beds of the last few decades. The growing concern about exposing one's body to the ultra violet rays that have proven to cause melanomas is not something people want to expose themselves to anymore. The spray tan technique is certainly here to stay.
