Best Spray Sun Tan Results

By Haywood Hunter


If there is anything that is trendy and desirable, it is a glowing skin that has a beautiful bronze tan. Pale skin is considered unattractive. Getting a tan is as easy as going out to the sun, but this is known to take long before results can be seen. Luckily, there has come spray tanning, where you can get a glowing skin without the hassle. A few basic rules will ensure you get a good spray sun tan.

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 your skin dry instead of rubbing. Do not exfoliate the skin after getting a spray sun tan, as this will remove some of the color from your skin. Shaving is also a form of exfoliation, so try and keep this to a minimum.

After getting sprayed, do not apply any bronzing product as the tanning solution itself already contains it. After getting a spray sun tan, put on loose clothing, in order to avoid the tan from wiping off. Avoid garments made of wool, nylon and silk as they are known to stain very easily and the tan might rub off on them.

Most face cleansers wash out the spray sun tan. Some bar soaps and colognes also contain chemicals that may wash out your tan. Inform your beauty therapist of the products you use so that they can advice accordingly.

Get rid of excess hair before your sun tan, as well as doing an exfoliation. Before getting a spray sun tan for a big day, do a try out session. This will give you and the beautician a chance to assess results and make proper modifications.

Ensure that you keep your spray sun tan well moisturized. Follow the same sun protection routine as you did before getting the tan. Failure to do so will lead to you getting major sunburn. You might also get itchy dry skin as a result of the tanned skin drying out.
