Tips For The Spray Tanning Booths

Tanning has been increasingly getting more and more popular. You know that you look and feel so much better when you are tan. You’ve probably heard it said before that the ultraviolet lights can cause your skin many harmful effects. So how can you maintain a beautiful tan and protect yourself from the harmful UV rays at the same time.

There is alternative to using a tanning booth consisting of these UV lights, and that is by using a spray tanning booth. Spray tanning booths are just a spray form of sunless tanning lotions, it’s an easier method and a more realistic look then rubbing the lotion into your skin. Let’s not forget to mention that it’s much quicker as well. These spray tanning booths offer you the same exact tan without the harmful effects. I am sure that you can find a tanning salon that offers spray tanning booths.

If you are going to be using a spray tanning booth then there are some things that you should know before going to the salon and this will ensure that everything goes smoothly. So when you step out of the booth your tan looks real and other tips that will allow you to have a great experience.

Spray Tanning Tip #1: About an hour before you go to the tanning salon for your spray tanning session you should apply a good moisturizer. This is going to ensure that your skin will accept the self tanner much better.

Spray Tanning Tip #2: Getting rid of the dead skin by exfoliating is also a great way to ensure that the self tanner will offer you a much better tan. You can use a loofah sponge in the bath the night before your tanning session to get rid of the dead skin.

Spray Tanning Tip #3: The clothes that you wear will effect your tan. Of course you can go nude to your tanning session, but this is not recommended for people that have never used it before. So you will need to select your clothes wisely. It’s important that you select tight fitting and dark colored clothing so that the spray will not be able to get into your sleeves. If you wear lighter clothing the self tanner will stain your clothes.

Spray Tanning Tip #4: Wear the gloves that the tanning salon has for you. This will prevent the palms of your hands from looking tan after applying the self tanner to your face. The tanning salon should have some sort of instructions for applying the self tanner to your face. Read them.

Spray Tanning Tip #5: After the self tanner is complete you will be required to blot your skin with a towel. This will prevent any drips. Blot very lightly.

Spray Tanning Tip #6: In order for the self tanning application to dry evenly you will need to stand still for about 30 seconds. This will make sure that the tan dries evenly. This doesn’t mean that your tanning application is completely dry but it will no longer be able to come off

Spray Tanning Tip #7: When you are spraying your feet it’s important that you spray the self tanner on very lightly. You don’t want it to look like you have a fake tan. Feet will generally be lighter then the rest of your body.

Following these tips will ensure that you get the maximum results from your self tanning session. And rest assured that nobody will know that your tan is the result of anything other then a tanning booth.
