Obtaining A Quality Spray Tan Offers Many Advantages

By Haywood Hunter


For many people, a nice spray tan is a status symbol. They like the way a great spray tan makes them feel. It gives them confidence to wear the latest skimpy trends on the beach and they feel healthy and sexy.

Gone are the days where these people spend hours in the blazing sun for their all over tans, when they use a spray tan. The sun is now too damaging for the skin as it causes cancer and premature aging, not to mention that it induces wrinkles. For all these dynamic tanners there is now only one solution- a spray tan.

Nowadays, they are heading off to the sun tanning salons for professional spray tan services. Such salons are offering these stunning tans for those willing to spend a little for that glorious look. These salons are becoming very popular and all you have to do is book an appointment for your summer spray tan, so that you can make sure the summer does not fly by and find you missing out on all the fun.

On offer at such a salon one will find the air brush spray tan which is carried out by a professional artist who has been specially trained for this technique. Here, the spray tan is sprayed on by means of an air brush using different nozzles for different tanning effects. The result is a perfect all over glow.

Salons also offer the turbine spray tan option. Here the person stands in a turbine as it sprays you with a fine mist of tanning lotion. This mist comes for all directions which means that there I full body coverage. This spray tan sticks to the skin on contact and one is left with a gorgeous even tan.

A spray tan procedure can take up to 30 minutes for the first treatment and then after that, the top up spray tan sessions last for about 20 minutes each. Sometimes, these can end up costing quite a bit as the tans generally only last for up to 5 days before flaking off naturally. One could always maintain a tan for a little longer by moisturizing the skin regularly so that the skin does not flake off as soon.

There is of, course the other option of the sun bed. Here one lies on a bed surrounded by Ultra Violet globes. These emit the same UV rays as the sun, but are not as damaging to the skin as it is. One will have to lie under these globes regularly to maintain your look, however, a spray tan will do this faster. There is, of course, no spraying involved in UV tanning.

For many other people who do not like the idea of the salon spray tan, there are many options available. For such people, there are products such as gels, mousses, lotions and sprays. All you have to do is consider the tone of spray tan you want for the summer and the effort you are prepared to put into maintaining it. Doing sunless tanning at home does take some effort, but you are left with the same result as you would get at the salon, only for a fraction of the price. For first time sunless tanners, it is advised that they stay with the golden glows at first. These are easier to obtain without getting the streaks or patches. Once you have mastered the skill of lotion application, one is the able to choose darker spray tan tones.
