Buying A Tanning Spray At A Salon

By Haywood Hunter


Tanning spray is a product used to produce a fake tan. This means that it is a tan that has not been achieved by the sun. There are many salons who help their customers achieve a wonderful natural-looking tan by using a variety of products, and a couple of method of applying these products. Tanning spray is also available on the market for someone to use themselves.



A wide variety of products, including tanning spray, have been developed to produce a fake tan. They can be used instead of getting a natural tan from the sun, because this has been proven as harmful to the skin, or they are used instead of sun lamps or beds, because these have also been shown to be just as harmful as the sun. In the past, fake tans really did look rather fake, but with the latest improvements in the products, they now actually create a wonderful and natural-looking tan.

Most salons will use tanning spray products for their customers. They produce the best results, especially when they are in the hands of skilled professionals who know how to use them. The staff of a salon also advise their customers how to help the self-tan procedure in order to ensure a beautiful tan.



At the salon, the customer will be asked if he/she would prefer a light, medium or dark tan. This will determine the settings for the tanning spray procedure. The customer will stand in a shower-like environment, and the product will be sprayed onto his/her body.

It is recommended that you find out all about the process before starting, as nobody will be accompanying you. The tanning spray product will be better applied if you follow a few guidelines. Remember that you may also need a few applications for a darker tan. For a light tan, usually one application is sufficient.

In order to achieve a good tan, you must clean your skin before the tanning spray procedure begins. Not at the salon, but at least within a short time of going to the salon. You may need more than just a normal wash in the bath or shower, because exfoliation of the skin is recommended to remove dead skin cells. Once clean, apply a good moisturizer because self-tan products work well when the skin is slightly 'stickier'.

Most people want a tan that covers their whole body, and salons can easily provide this service with their tanning spray methods. Do not wear clothing when the product is applied, as they will only be ruined, and will prevent areas of the body from being sprayed. Gloves can be worn, as they will prevent the palms of your hands from going orange after the application of the tanning spray.

An excess amount of tanning spray can be gently rubbed off when the procedure has been completed. Ask staff at the salon about your feet, as these can be problem areas with self-tan products, as they can end up quite darkly tanned. In general, a salon will be able to provide you with a very natural-looking tan that will last for reasonable length of time.
