Get A Good Spray Sun Tan

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.

When planning to get your spray sun tan, lay off the makeup. Makeup will be a shield that will only serve to prevent absorption of the tanning solution. If you must wear makeup, put on some lip balm or lipstick and mascara. Try as much as possible not to wear deodorant on the day of your appointment. Deodorant may react with some of the these products and in the end cause colored armpits.

Give your skin some time to absorb the tanning solution. Spray sun tan will take a period of six to ten hours before being fully absorbed by the skin. This will mean that you should take a shower only after twelve hours have elapsed since getting the tan. Avoid moisturizing your skin immediately getting the tan, so as to avoid messing up the tan.

Once you get your spray sun tan, take some time off from some strenuous activity that will cause you to sweat. You should also avoid any water activities such as swimming. The sweat and water will wash out your spray sun tan and make you develop streaks.

For the period you have your spray sun tan, pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. Try not to exfoliate, as it will shorten the life of your tan. Do not shave either, as shaving is a form of exfoliation.

When you get your spray sun tan, do not wear any bronzing product. The tanning solution already has it and the result will be that you will have an ashy brown complexion. For a few hours after getting your tan, wear loose garments. Avoid certain materials like wool, nylon and silk since they stain quite easily from the tanning solution.

Ensure that your beauty therapist is aware of the kind of products that you use on your skin. Some of the facial cleansers, shower bars and perfumes are known to remove the spray sun tan. Your therapist will be able to advice accordingly regarding the products that you use.

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.

Moisturize your skin in order to make your spray sun tan last longer while still looking new. When going out to the sun always wear sunscreen. Sunscreen will keep your skin well protected from sunburn. Overexposure to the sun might also make your skin start reacting to the spray tan and become dry.
