Spray Tans
Spray Tans
There are a lot of women who are not contented having light colored skin. They’d rather have a glowing tan. That is why tanning under the sun became popular in the recent decades. However, when Doctors found out that the UV rays of the sun are unsafe and related them to skin diseases, people had to turn to other ways to achieve darker complexions.
They created a solution through the use of tanning lotions and other tanning products. One of the best tanning products in the market is the spray. It doesn’t contain any UV rays but it is said to contain DHA (Di-Hydroxy Acetone), the active ingredient of tanning lotions and the tanning spray. Spray tans are simpler to use than tanning lotions. Even though the chemical content is the same, the procedure is different. The result may also be similar but it greatly depends on how you use the product.
Spray tans can last up to a month but it could also fade as fast as a week or so. If you want to have better results from spray tans, make sure that you use it the right way. There are several steps you can follow to have a successful tan using a spray.
First step: Before using the spray, make sure that the surface of the skin which you will apply the spray on is clean. Take a bath or a quick shower to cleanse your skin.
Second step: Dry your skin and moisturize it well. Tanning lotions come with a moisturizer which is what makes tanning lotions so effective. When applying moisturizing solution, you will have to wait for a couple of days before you can apply the spray. The moisturized skin will absorb the solution of the spray much more effectively.
Third step: After waiting for a couple of days, you can now apply the spray. Make sure that you evenly spray the product on your body. The product that you apply to your elbows and knees should be lighter than the other spots because thick skin can absorb the solution better than thin skin. Also make sure that you get the right shade of the tan. If you have light colored skin, choose a light shade, and if you have medium colored skin, choose a darker shade. The application of the spray will only take an hour. Make sure that you stay in a room that has a low temperature. Sweat may cause some streaks in your spray-on tan. And if you are planning to put on some clothes while the solution is still in your skin, make sure that the solution is already dry.
Following these steps will guarantee you of a beautiful tan. Make sure you are careful with these steps as a mistake could lead to terrible outcomes.
