As we begin to fully understand the serious consequences of sun
tanning, we are looking for alternatives and that’s why a visit
it a sunless tanning booth has become so popular. There are no
tanning bed risks and no tanning bed burns to worry about. Just
a beautiful golden tan that lasts about a week.
Remember the first self tanners that hit the shelves many years
ago – wella you became instant carrot orange. Well we’ve come
along way babe! The hottest thing to hit the beauty seen is the
sunless tanning booth which gently sprays your entire body a
golden brown. You’ll look naturally sun kissed and no one, and I
mean no one will know its not a gift from mother nature.”
Although you can get your spray tan out of a can it can be a bit
tricky and you might land up looking a little streaky so why not
book an appointment at your favorite salon and get it done
right. Just think the perfect sunless tan! No more harmful UV
rays
If you don’t which shop has a spray booth or who is good then
ask around, word of mouth is always a good way to find out what
salon does the best spray tanning. Once you’ve chosen a salon
book your appointment.
On the day of your appointment shower and exfoliate to make sure
you’ve removed all loose and flaky skin. All the spray tanning
in the world won’t do you any good if its just going to flake
off tomorrow with dead skin. A loofah works great for removing
dead skin.
If there are parts of your body that you don’t’ want spray
tanned than choose old clothing to cover them because they are
going to be covered in a dye that doesn’t come off easily.
You’ll also need to make sure they fit tight so that spray can’t
waft up.
Be sure you follow the instructions the salon gives you.
Normally they give you a handout to read that tells you what to
do.
After your sprayed you need to stand still for 60 seconds to let
the tan dry evenly. This doesn’t mean its completely dry it just
this is when it’s easiest to rub off or smear. You should
actually be cautious for a couple of hours. After the 60 seconds
gently blot your skin with a towel to catch drips and remove any
blotches.
Feet don’t normally get as much sun as the rest of you so they
are often paler. In a spray booth they may actually darker
faster because of the angle so it’s best to wear the paper
booties the salon gives you to keep your tan looking natural.
You can always apply a coat at home with a can tanner if they
are too light.
If you’ve got a special event coming up, perhaps a wedding,
prom, or a re-union, spray tanning might be something you’ll
want to try. When done correctly it results in a very natural
looking tan adding summer color to your pale winter skin. Using
a sunless tanning booth is what could be called smart tanning.
So what are you waiting for? Why not give it a try?
