Traditional tanning methods have become less popular these days because
of major health risks. Because of this major finding in tanning several
companies have provided tanning creams, lotions and spray to get a
tanned skin even without the help of tanning beds or the sun. Most
people prefer this type of artificial tanning since there is no
significant health risk and the only damage a person may get from them
is if their skins are too sensitive and the application may cause some
allergy.
Among these innovations the one that is gaining the most popularity is
the self tanning spray. This easy to use product is sprayed evenly on
the skin and then all you have to do is wait for it to dry. Tanning
products contain a chemical called dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical
acts an agent that triggers the amino acids in the skin to produce a
great tan. Tanning products has been recognized by many as safe and
effective and does not produce the great risk that traditional and
tanning beds have. Applying a tanning spray is pretty easy, but there
are some things that you need to know to achieve that perfect even tan.
Here are five things that you should remember when you apply one.
Prepare your skin
Before you apply a tanning spray, make sure that your skin can handle
the formulation. Read the instructions carefully and then apply a small
amount of the spray in your body and wait for any allergic reactions or
discoloration. In this way you can check the quality of the tanning
spray and you reduce the risk of hurting your skin.
It is best that you remove all the dead skin cells in your body so that
the spray will be more effective. The reason behind is that tanning
sprays usually “stick” to the outer layer of your skin. So if your dead
skin cells are still in your body, they will be ones that gets tanned,
and your tan will not last long. Aside from this, healthy skin cells are
very receptive to the tannig sprays and would hold them longer. Scrub
your whole body using a loofah or any other scrub and make sure that you
exfoliate your whole body especially the exposed parts.
Aside from scrubbing your body, be sure to apply a moisturizer a few
hours before you apply your tanning spray. This softens your skin and it
becomes more receptive, therefore making your tan last longer and
absorbing it better.
Application strategies
Wear dark clothing because the spray sometimes discolors them. Aside
from this, make sure that you have a pair of gloves that you can use to
avoid discoloration in your hands. Although some prefer to use their
hands to evenly apply the spray. Just be sure that you wash your hands
right away after application to avoid further discoloration.
When you start spraying your body be sure to apply the tanning spray
evenly. Prepare a towel or tissue to wipe off drips and make sure that
you apply the spray in covered areas like the back of your ears to
achieve and even color.
Final reminders
Make sure that you have evenly applied the spray, and make necessary
adjustments if you find any discoloration. Stand still for about a
minute to avoid dripping and uneven application. It is crucial that you
do not move especially your joints since these areas can easily remove
the application. Be sure to follow the instructions given in your kit
and do not forget to apply a sun screen when you go out. Most tanning
sprays contain a sun screen protection formula but it is best to apply
it separately to ensure safety.
These three steps will give you that perfect tan you have been dreaming
about. Just be sure to follow these reminders and all you have to do
next is to find that perfect clothing that goes with your new tanned
look.
