Home Spray Tan

Although salon tanning is the most popular, home spray tan makes a good and viable choice for less money. Many people choose this variant to booth tanning because of the costs, however, the opinions are shared about which version is the best: machine tanning or do-it-yourself tanning. But, this material will focus only on home spray tan suggestions.

The skin preparation is very important for the application of the home spray tan. The best time to exfoliate the skin is after shower, with the mention to skip the moisturizing part. Why so much insistance on exfoliation? Well, only the superficial dead skin layer at the surface of the skin is exposed to the action of the coloring agents, the thinner this is, the longer the tan will resist without wearing off. The home spray tan option involves a selection from a wide range of products belonging to different brand names.

However, you should be aware of the fact that a home spray tan from Lancome will be more expensive than a no-name product, to give just an example. The bronze look is the main feature that distinguishes a good home spray tan from a low quality one. Then, an important aspect that you should bear in mind is that color builds in time, at least for the first application. Do not use too much active substance from the very beginning, the first tan will hence be a gentle brown.

After you apply the home spray tan, allow it to dry before getting dressed and avoid contact with water for the next five hours. Do not apply the home spray tan before going to the gym for instance, because intense perspiration may cause streaking. The skin dryness thus influences the quality of the color. If you want to make the tan last longer, use warm water and mild soap when showering. Then, rubbing the skin too vigurously with the towel will also cause exfoliation and cause the color to wear off.

The use of home spray tan also requires wearing only loose clothing for the first day after the tanning. Color may come off from hands, joints and the face particularly a day or two after the application of the home spray tan. Moreover, in case you get some darker skin areas that make you look blotchy, you can reduce the tan intensity with some lemon juice rubbed into the skin.
