Simple Spray Tan Application Steps

By Susan Jumonville


Many people spend a lot to time and money into achieving a flawless tan that they can flaunt around mostly in the summer months when shorts and small tops are popular. A simple, no hassle way that a glowing tan can be achieved rather than spending a bunch on time in the blazing sun is getting a spray tan. These are some simple spray tan application steps that you can do to get the tan you want.



Before applying any sunless tanning products, you will need to shower and thoroughly exfoliate the skin to eliminate any dead skin cells, paying extra attention to the elbow and knee areas. You can simply use a washcloth to get rid of any rough patches on the skin or you can use a cleansing puff. Make sure that you dry your skin completely after showering and before beginning with the sunless tanning application.

Reading the directions on the tanning product will ensure the best results and is very important. To safe guard your health it is greatly recommended that you check a small portion of your skin first to see if you have any allergic reaction to the product. After checking the portion of skin and all is well, you then can go ahead and apply the product on the rest of your body.



You will want to protect your hands from the tanning solution by wearing gloves while applying the product to your body. If you do not protect your hands they will absorb more of the solution and the end result will be an orange hue witch is not what you want. Always wash your hands thoroughly after applying the solution to your body, even if you did wear gloves.

The best way to avoid streaking in your tan is to apply the mixture evenly by using steady, smooth strokes. Try to avoid using excessive amounts of solution, especially in the elbow, knee, and ankle areas where the skin tends to be more dry and rough, which the solution will not absorb into the skin very well causing discolor. It is a good idea to go ahead and exfoliate these areas later after the solution has dried for a more natural look.

It is suggested that you wait to get dressed until the product has a chance to dry completely to keep from staining your clothes. Each brand is different but is mostly the length of 10 to 15 minutes. Some brands of self tanner suggests not to bathe or wash until a period of 24 hours have past for the best tanning results.

To make the tan last longer and to keep the skin hydrated, it is recommended that you apply a moisturizer to the skin after the tanning solution has fully dried. The best type of moisturizer to use would be the type that is specifically made to work with a sunless tanner. Applying the moisturizer every day for about a week will help the sunless tanner last longer and keep the skin smooth and supple.

Making the decision to use a spray tanner in the place of spending time out in the harsh sun is one that you will not regret. The result will be a more even tan that will last longer and is more healthy for the body than the harmful sun rays. You can now step out into the world knowing that you have a great tan and feel more confident.
