A Quick Overview Of Spray Tanning

By Hetty Barnstable

No matter what season it is, many people want to have a great looking and beautiful tan all year round. To keep this tan at all times a great method to use is getting a spray tan. This can either be done at home or you can visit a professional tanning salon to get the results you want.

Once found primarily through television shopping channels, these tanning products are now sold in discount stores and your local pharmacy. The tanning sprays are inexpensive, and fairly easy to use.

When deciding which self tan product to use, you will come across a range of sprays that will give you a tan over a relatively quick amount of time or ones that will darken the skin as soon as they are applied. Which one you go for is up to you and a bit of trial and error to see which ones work best for you. Everyone's skin behaves a bit differently so try a few on a discreet area first to see how they perform.

Getting a tan at a salon means you will probably want to go for an all body tan. You have a number of options available to you here and this will probably be around how the spray tanning is administered. You could either use an automated booth or have the tan sprayed on by an assistant.

One of the good points about having a professional spray tan is that you do not have to deal with areas that you can't reach. You may also enjoy not having any mess to clean up, and being able to see the change in a few hours.

If you decide to go for the speedy tanning option of having the salon person administer the product for you then you will get several benefits. You will be able to decide how much and where you want your body tanning and they will be able to help you to decide how best to color your skin. You may need a few visits to get the tan that you want but your results should last longer with this method.

No matter which way you get a quick tan you won't have to show up at the beach or pool at the beginning of swim season as the one who hasn't seen the sun in a year. This may help you decide if this is for you.

Tanning in the sun has risks and other issues associated with it. Firstly there is the time taken to get a nice tan. Secondly there is the aging to the skin that UV rays can cause, not to mention the increased risk of skin cancer. By using a spray tan or self tanning product you cut down the risks and time taken to get a tan and you can get great results, so it is certainly worth giving a try.
