Great Tan With Spray Tanning Lotions

By Haywood Hunter


Sunbathing is funny, hot and exhausting, but it is also very dangerous. It can cause different skin irritations and cancer. Even so, most people still practice this risky game, to get a nice, bronze skin. There are so many ways of achieving the same results without risking your health. You don't even have to use tanning beds any more. Some great sunless tan products are available today, including foams and spray tanning lotions.

Creams, foams, gels and spray tanning lotions designed for this purpose can be simply used in your home. If you buy a set, you will also get a moisturizer and an exfoliating gel. Spray tanning lotions are especially convenient if you buy them in those handy sets. They are easy to use, and available in several different shades.

If you are not exactly do-it-yourself type, you can always find a good sunless tanning salon to take care of your bronze. They mostly offer two application methods. The first one is a booth. Spray tanning lotions are applied automatically in this case. Their technicians mostly use very effective airbrush technology, and they will apply spray tanning lotions professionally.

Some people prefer booths, especially those who a shy, but interested in all over tan. Resulting tan is even, streak-free and flawless, and everything is done very quickly. Others prefer to be treated by a technician. He is using airbrush for applying spray tanning lotions. This may take a little longer, but those people are highly experienced, and final results are even better.

It doesn't matter which method you choose, as long as your skin is properly prepared for the treatment with spray tanning lotions. Shaving just before going there is not a good idea. Resulting color might have spots in this case. It is much better to shave at least a day or two before that, to give your skin a chance to heal.

Every good sunless tan product is based on DHA, or dihydroxyacetone. This active compound is sugar-based, and it reacts with amino acids in the most outer skin layer. The product of this reaction is your desired bronze skin, and the intensity depends mostly on DHA concentration and added color enhancers. DHA alone needs time to develop deep shades, and color enhancers are added to speed up the process.

Because DHA reacts with only outer skin layer, you need to exfoliate before applying spray tanning lotions. This will remove all dead skin cells, and your color will last longer once applied. Besides, exfoliated skin is smooth and guarantees better final results. Pay special attention to dry areas, especially your heels and elbows. Dry areas may soak too much color and become darker.

Using good moisturizers is always advisable, not only before applying spray tanning lotions. Avoid using any chemical products before the treatment. You shouldn't wear your deodorant either, because it could cause strange reactions. If you aren't sure about the shade different spray tanning lotions provide, consult an expert. Your new, exciting color will enhance your natural beauty, and you should enjoy it all year round.
