Advice For Getting Beautiful Spray Tans

By Haywood Hunter


Many people long for a sexy, bronzed appearance, without having to risk skin cancer by sitting in the sun all day. Spray tans have become the solution to this dilemma, and has a result, are very fashionable. Long-lasting spray tans do rely on some simple procedures that should be performed before and after their application. Here are some strategies that can be employed to ensure a satisfying sunless tanning experience.

The Fitzpatrick Skin Typing scale is a trusted way to calculate the exact tone of the skin. It is a useful tool in identifying the UV threshold of a variety of skin types. It can also help in choosing the correct shade, and is therefore vital in avoiding any unwanted results. Very pale skin, for example, cannot undergo very strong color treatments, as it may turn orange.

A fundamental, preappointment course of action is exfoliation. This is because spray tans affect the dead cells that lie on the surface of the skin, or the epidermis. They absorb the color of the tanning material. If they are not evenly distributed throughout the epidermis through good exfoliation practices, they will reflect uneven concentrations of color all over the body. Not only will the tan look notched and scraggy, it will also fade at a similar rate. It is a good idea to pay special attention to the knees and elbows.

Loose clothing is required for the day of the treatment. This is because spray tans are usually still fresh after the procedure, and can easily rub off if clothing is too tight.

If there are any scars on the body, it is best to cover them with Vaseline gel. Also, moisturizers and make-up have been found to affect how color materials are absorbed, and can inhibit color absorption in certain areas. Deodorants can even create green armpits.

Spray tans will continue to look fresh and natural if they are properly taken care of. It is a good idea to buy some touch-up substances from the salon to keep an even look. Also, beauty experts recommend strict moisturizing, two times a day. Moisturizing lotions plump up skin cells, encouraging them to retain spray tans for as long as possible. There are also many substances are harmful to spray tans, and must therefore be steered clear of. These include harsh soaps and shower gels.

These tips are guidelines in prolonging the experience of a healthy looking tan. Spray tans can last for days if looked after, and have proven to be good alternatives to regular sun tanning.
