Modern Spray Tanning

Modern Spray Tanning Looking back some twenty
years ago, artificial tans were not known
for their natural look. In fact, just the
opposite! In those days you could point out the
all too obvious fake tans from the odd orange
colour of the affected persons skin. Not the
most admirable fashion statement in my
opinion. But now things have changed.
Sunless tanning now has a more authentic look
to it. If done at a professional salon or tanning
booth, streak- free tans are now a norm, as
opposed to the all too frequent blatant
mistakes of the past. The fine body sprays are
now easy to blend with the skin. Also, It is
advisable to moisturise and smooth
particularly dry areas of the body, such
as the elbows, heels, knees, hands, wrists and
feet, a day or two before your tanning session.
This will ensure that a smooth, even tan is
produced. Another positive development is
that safety aspects have now been taken
more into consideration. As long as the
tanning agent is correctly applied as per
instructions, topically applied sprays, lotions
etc are considered to be safe. However, it is
well known that UV rays used in tanning
lamps, beds and booths can cause skin
cancer. Other tanning methods such as lotions,
creams, mousses and sprays can be used frequently
with no known side effects. The latters
disadvantages, however, are that they last for
much shorter periods of time (3-7 days for
spray tans) and it can be costly if you
are constantly renewing your tan. They are
perfect, however, for a one off special occasion.
Additional safety measures include taking
care to protect mucous membranes from
tanning chemicals. If attending a
tanning booth ensure that suitable
protective equipment is provided. For
example, goggles are suitable eye
protection. Nose plugs and filters are useful
nasal protection. Lip balm protects this delicate
part of your face, which the average person
would want unstained with tanning spray
anyway! A further note on safety nowadays
you can purchase tanning pills. These are
potentially harmful, with damaging deposits
sometimes appearing in the eyes. Finally,
it is worth noting that most tanning sprays, as
well as the majority of other artificial tanning
agents, do not include sunscreen. Your skin will
consequently not be protected from the
sun. Sunless tanning is very popular today,
amongst the famous, as well as the
average person. Spray tans have the
advantage of being easy and quick to
apply, as well as drying quickly compared
to many lotions, creams and mousses.
Booths contain machines with several jets or
nozzles that spray the tanning chemical directly
onto your skin. It can also be applied from
an airgun or airbrush, which are more
mobile and smaller than a booth. Alternatively
it may be applied from a bottle. Different shades
are produced, varying between people. It
dries quicker than some other tanning
agents, causing less staining of clothes,
bedding and anyone or thing you come into
contact with! Well worth a go. Article source
