Having a flawless tan is something that many people strive for to look and feel their best, especially during the hot summer months when shorts and tank tops are mostly worn. An easier way of achieving that perfect tan without having to sit out in the hot sun for hours is to get a spray tan. Here are some easy steps for spray tan application that you can do right in your own home.
Before applying any sunless tanning products, you will need to shower and thoroughly exfoliate the skin to eliminate any dead skin cells, paying extra attention to the elbow and knee areas. You can simply use a washcloth to get rid of any rough patches on the skin or you can use a cleansing puff. Make sure that you dry your skin completely after showering and before beginning with the sunless tanning application.
You will need to read the instructions thoroughly before application of any tanning product. To be safe it is highly recommended that you test the product on a small section of your skin to eliminate any possibilities of allergic reactions. When you are sure there are no allergic reactions to the product, you can proceed with the full application.
You will want to protect your hands from the tanning solution by wearing gloves while applying the product to your body. If you do not protect your hands they will absorb more of the solution and the end result will be an orange hue witch is not what you want. Always wash your hands thoroughly after applying the solution to your body, even if you did wear gloves.
To avoid any streaks, make sure that you use even strokes and do not apply too much product on the knee, elbow, and ankle areas. These areas tend to have rough, dry skin which is harder for the solution to absorb properly; which usually ends up looking uneven. If this does happen, you can exfoliate those areas later after the product has dried.
To keep your clothing from getting stained it is recommended to let the tanner fully dry before getting dressed. All types of tanner are not the same in the length of time it takes to dry but the most common times are between 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Another suggestion is to avoid bathing for an entire day after application for better results.
To make the tan last longer and to keep the skin hydrated, it is recommended that you apply a moisturizer to the skin after the tanning solution has fully dried. The best type of moisturizer to use would be the type that is specifically made to work with a sunless tanner. Applying the moisturizer every day for about a week will help the sunless tanner last longer and keep the skin smooth and supple.
When you decide to use a spray tan instead of spending countless hours in the sun, you will notice that you will get a more even tan and will use up less of your valuable time to achieve the look that you want. Now you can wear your shorts and tank tops with confidence because you know you have that healthy bronze glow you always wanted.
