Advice For Getting Long-Lasting Spray Tans

By Haywood Hunter


Many people long for a sexy, bronzed appearance, without having to risk skin cancer by sitting in the sun all day. Spray tans have become the solution to this dilemma, and has a result, are very fashionable. Long-lasting spray tans do rely on some simple procedures that should be performed before and after their application. Here are some strategies that can be employed to ensure a satisfying sunless tanning experience.

Successful spray tans rely on reliable research. It is not wise, for instance, to opt for a strong spray treatment when one has extremely white, milky skin. Many pale people have turned orange from this. In light of this, it is essential to distinguish what type of skin tone one has. The Fitzpatrick Skin Typing scale is used for this. Salon professionals utilize this to match skin color to the right kind of treatment, for the most natural-looking results.

Spray tans targets skin cells in the epidermis. They react with the proteins in these dead cells and turn them brown. It is important to exfoliate thoroughly, before going in for the procedure. If there is no pretreatment exfoliation, the tan will become patchy, and will also fade in an irregular way. Skin can resemble peeling paint if this happens. There are many loofahs, sponges and gels on the market that can assist in thorough exfoliation. Notable areas include the knees, ankles and elbows.

It is important to note that, in the moments following the procedure, spray tans can still be dislodged. Tight clothing items, bras and underwear are all capable of doing this. It is best, then, to select loose-fitting clothes to wear for the day of the procedure.

If there are any scars on the body, it is best to cover them with Vaseline gel. Also, moisturizers and make-up have been found to affect how color materials are absorbed, and can inhibit color absorption in certain areas. Deodorants can even create green armpits.

Proper maintenance of the tan after the appointment will ensure that it lasts its longest. Regular moisturizing is essential. Professionals recommend a twice daily moisturizing regimen to ensure that the affected cells are hydrated and healthy. If they remain in this state, they are more likely to cling to the body. Soapy baths, sandy beaches, and chlorinated swimming pools are best avoided, as they may accelerate the fading process. Touch-up products are available in most salons to ensure that the tan remains even.

These tips are guidelines in prolonging the experience of a healthy looking tan. Spray tans can last for days if looked after, and have proven to be good alternatives to regular sun tanning.
