Spray Tan Tips and Tales

Spray tans have become the number one way for people to keep that year round tanned look. It is the number of cases of skin cancer caused by too much exposure to the sun that has led to this rise in alternative but safer methods. The quickest and fast becoming the preferred method of having a fake tan is by using a spray tanning salon service. There are many fake tan creams available but a spray gives a much more even looking tan and is less likely to cause streaking.

Although the popularity is still to be proved, systems using the new spray tanning technology have been designed for home use. Regardless of the method you choose there are a few basic steps to follow to ensure that you get the best results possible. To ensure a good clean body surface to work with, you will need to remove any dead skin by exfoliation. This can stop the situation where dead skin cells gradually drop off leaving paler patches of skin which immediately tells people you have a fake tan.

Once this process is complete, it is advisable to prepare your skin further by applying a moisturizing cream (or lotion) to it which will make the agent easier to apply. Secondly, you always want to wear gloves if you are applying the tanning agent yourself to avoid getting the dreaded orange palms which are a dead give away that your tan is fake.

It is also important to remember fingers, joints and feet do not need to be coated as heavily as they will become very dark and once again give the game away. If you are using a spray tanning method then you will need an old towel to wipe any excess fluid away to stop streaking.

To avoid any smears, marks or cracking, you will need to relax and remain still, while the tanning agent dries. Don’t forget to wear some old clothes as fake tan is notorious for staining almost anything it touches. Obviously darker clothing is the best option so the staining will not be as visible, and if possible, something that you will not worry about if it gets damaged. Now that you have this information it should be much easier having a fake tan without anyone knowing.
