Spray Tan Basics
By Sher Matsen, Thu Dec 8th

With more and more of us understanding the serious consequencesof suntanning, we are looking for alternatives. Remember thefirst self tanners that hit the shelves many years ago – wellayou became instant carrot orange. Well we’ve come along waybabe! The hottest thing to hit the beauty seen is “spraytanning.”

Spray tan in a can is the latest in sunless tanning technology.Forget lotions or pump sprays that leave uneven tones. Althoughlotions have come along way from the carrot orange days, somecan still leave you with orange under tones. Aerosol tanningsprays can leave you with a perfect looking, no hassle, eventan. Spray tan in a can is the safest, easiest way to get aperfect sunless tan at home! . No more harmful UV rays or tripsto the tanning bed.

You will want to find a reputable shop. Ask around, word ofmouth is always a good way to find out what salon does the bestspray tanning. Once you’ve chosen a salon book your appointment.If your planning to have a spray tan for a special event, saylike your wedding, then I would suggest a trial run about amonth prior. If you like the results you can book again, if youdon’t then I suggest trying another salon.

On the day of your appointment shower and exfoliate. Use aloofah and shower gel and body scrub to remove all your dry/deadskin. This will ensure an even application.

At the salon they will give you instructions, often theseinstructions are in the form of the video. The whole procedureand what you need to do will be explained to you. . Someimportant things to remember: 1. hold your breath when the sprayis going off (for about 14 seconds and its very challenging) 2.follow the instructions “exactly” as to where to apply thelotion to block the spray on your feet and hands. You need toblock the spray from your hands and feet because these areashave excess wrinkles and creases, so if they are sprayed youwill get a tell-tale white veiny looking areas in the creases.3. when the spray stops you need to turn around 4. when youleave the spray booth you will be given towels to wipe down andremove any excess spray. Make sure you wipe not blot. The colorfrom your spray tan will last anywhere from 7-10 days. Thetreatments are still a bit on the pricey side at around $40.00 atreatment, so this isn’t something you get done on a regularbasis, more like a treat or for a special occasion. Somecompanies sell packages that give you a reduced rate.

It is important to apply plenty of moisturizer on a regularbasis to the extent the life of your Spray on Sun Tan. If youhave very dry skin use a deep moisturizer. Blend any moisturizerinto the skin and do not wipe it off as this will remove some ofyour spray tan. Baths, spas and swimming in chlorinated poolswill reduce the life of your tan.

Tips for spray tanning... 1. All the spray tanning in the worldwill do you no good if it attaches itself to dead skin that isabout to come off your body so be sure to Exfoliate! Use aloofah sponge in the bath the night before you spray tan sessionto remove these dead skin cells. 2. Choose your clothescarefully. Pick clothes that cover all the parts of your bodyyou won’t be tanning. Select tight fitting clothes so that thetan spray cannot go under your sleeves. Choose dark coloredclothes, since spray tanners will stain clothing. 3. Follow theinstructions! Provided by the Salon. Self-tanning boothstypically have a handout, so read up, and make sure you knowwhat to do! 4. For 30-60 seconds after a self-tanning boothapplication you need to Stand still. This will ensure that yourtan dries evenly. Although it does take longer than 30 secondsfor your spray tan to dry completely, the first minute or moreis when you run a real risk of rubbing off the self-tannerbefore it has a chance to work. 5. After your spray tanapplication you will need to Blot your skin with a towel tocatch any drips. 6. Because your feet normally get less sun thanthe
