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

By Haywood Hunter


For years many people have been using tanning beds and exposing themselves to the harmful effects of ultra violet rays. As we all know, this can result in some detrimental side effects concerning our health. A better alternative for achieving that sun kissed look is to use the spray tan which is a much safer way to create that outdoor, healthy look.



The recommended alternative to acquire a beautiful, even tan is to visit a salon that offers a spray tan system. This is achieved inside a tanning booth where a series of spray tan nozzles emit the tanning formula onto the front of the body first. You need to stand in a certain spot the right distance from the tanning source for about fifteen second, then turn around and allow your back to be sprayed as well. The arms need to be held up so that the spray will also reach the sides of the body.

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.

A shower cap needs to be worn to keep the spray out of your hair. Push the cap off the ears and distanced from the hairline so that the tanning formula will blend in naturally as well in the hairline area. A barrier gel needs to be applied between the fingers, on the finger nails, and one the palms and soles to avoid getting those areas either overly tanned or tanned at all. Palms and soles have less pigment and typically don't tan.

Once inside the spray tan booth it is also advised that you wear eye goggles as well as a nose plug. These are simply additional safety features that will ensure that you will not have any damage to the eyes or to your respiratory system. Then, follow the audio instructions for sprey tan by waving your hand over the start button.

A fine mist of spray tan stain will be discharged from the nozzles that lasts about fifteen seconds. It will feel cool to the skin. Be sure that you keep your arms lifted up so that the mist will also reach the side of the torso. Once the spray shuts off then turn around and repeat the process on the back but this time keeping the arms in the front of the body with the palms facing inward.

After another 15 seconds, the spray tan system will stop and you can leave the booth. Once you have removed the shower cap, glasses and nose plugs you can take a towel and use it to remove any residual stain on the body. It is recommended that you wear loose clothing so as to reduce any risk of rubbing any of the freshly sprayed stain off. You can take a shower after waiting 7 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.
