Spray Sun Tan Made Easy

By Haywood Hunter


The results of a tan in the sun are to die for. The skin always looks so fresh and vitalized. However, getting a tan is the problem. No one wants to spend their days out in the scorching sun when they have so many other things to do. To keep the skin protected, and still get the same glow, the most viable option is to get a spray sun tan. There are a few rules to be followed in order to get the best spray tan.

On the day of your spray tan appointment, do not wear any makeup. Makeup will only prevent the spray sun tan from reaching your face and neck area. The only kind of make up that can be allowed is lipstick and mascara. If possible, try and not wear deodorant on the day you get your spray tan, otherwise you will get some colored patches on your armpits that are quite unattractive.

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.

By sweating, and having dripping water on your body, some of the spray sun tan will wash off and leave undesirable streaks. Try and avoid any activities that will cause you to sweat. Also, avoid swimming and water activities. Water and sweat will cause the spray sun tan to streak leaving undesirable streaks.

After showering, pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. Do not exfoliate the skin after getting a spray sun tan, as this will remove some of the color from your skin. Shaving is also a form of exfoliation, so try and keep this to a minimum.

After getting sprayed, do not apply bronzing product. The tanning solution usually contains this product hence using both together will make you look unnatural. Avoid wool, nylon and silk immediately after your spray sun tan as they stain quite easily. Wear loose clothing that will not wipe off the tanning solution before it is fully absorbed.

Most face cleansers wash out the spray sun tan. Some bar soaps and colognes also contain chemicals that may wash out your tan. Inform your beauty therapist of the products you use so that they can advice accordingly.

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.
