Using this method, you have the best of both worlds – a glowing tan without risking your health. Here’s a complete guide to tanning without the sun. Your Sunless Spray Tan Guide You have a few options to consider before getting a sunless spray tan. The Sun FX Spray Tan has been all the rage, from celebrities like Paris Hilton to Tara Reid. This sunless tan is great because a professional beauty therapist sprays the tan on. The Sun FX Spray Tan could fit any lifestyle, saving time and saving your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Some great tips to remember before doing this tan… When Should I Get My Tan? Around 24-48hrs prior to when you want to look brown Why? It is best not to shower from 8-10hrs after having your spray tan – the initial application develops over this time and it does not look great while it is developing and can also come off on your clothes. We advise that you have your tan as late in the day as possible so that you can sleep while it is developing and shower and moisturize in the morning (do not exfoliate). Before You Get Your Tan It is important to shave, and exfoliate, do not apply any creams or lotions, deodorant, perfumes or cosmetics. Ideally wear loose dark coloured clothing (no bra). If you get tan on your clothing it will wash out. After the tan, you’ll look as if you just took an exotic vacation. Remember to not to shower for ideally 8-10hrs hours after the tan, moisturize your skin often and do not take a dip in salt water because it will affect how long your tan will last. If you are having waxing done make sure that this is done 24hrs prior to your spray tan and that all wax residues are removed from your skin.
What Happens In The Salon The professional applying your tan will ask you your desired colour – you can choose from light, medium and dark shades. You will b e asked to remove your clothes and a disposable g-string and hairnet will be provided for you to put on. You will be asked to stand in different positions while the tan is applied with a professional spray tan gun (can be a little cold). One the tan has been applied you will be left with the blowing part of the gun to dry yourself off prior to putting on your clothes and heading back out to reception. How Long Will My Tan Last… Your spray tan will last for around 3 days. It can last longer if you moisturize 2/3 times daily, avoid swimming, and do not exfoliate. We have also found that using a tinted body moisturizer extends the life of your tan. Why a spray tan and how does it make you tan? This is a great question. DHA, also known as dihydroxyacetone and the active ingredient in sunless tanning sprays, changes your skin tone from a light pale shade for a darker shade of brown for the perfect sunless tan. It was founded by accident in the 1920’s in Germany and has surely changed sunless tanning forever. A very important thing to remember… You need to continue to wear sunscreen to protect yourself against harmful UV rays – try at least SPF 30. And, in 20 years when you have less wrinkles around the eyes and on other areas of your face, you will relish in the fact that you can look great with a sunless spray tan, while protecting your skin with SPF.
The benefits of a healthy tan... There is an array of health benefits with sunless tanning for those who want to avoid the harmful UV rays of the sun. 1. You save your skin, not only from premature wrinkles, but also from skin cancer 2. You save time. In less than 10 minutes with a Sun FX spray tan 3. You'll look natural. Long gone are the days when orange streaked tans came from a bottle. Today, bottled tans actually look bronze without streaks, especially if you applied the tan carefully after you exfoliated your skin. With these tips in mind, looking great and achieving the perfect tan without the sun just got easier.
