What Are The Benefits To Spray Tanning?

Spray tanning has quickly become an incredibly popular beauty trend due to its ability to provide a stunning bronze glow without UV radiation damage.

Exposed sun or bed tanning can result in

  • premature wrinkles
  • dark spots
  • loss of elasticity

– something spray tanning does without the risk of skin irritation or premature wrinkles.

Sun tanning often leaves your hands looking darker than the rest of your body; in contrast, spray tanning applies a uniform color across your entire surface area of skin. Furthermore, spray tans offer greater versatility in terms of shade selection allowing you to achieve the ideal look for any event or celebration – whether that is wedding preparations, beach vacation or simply adding extra shimmer into everyday routine – there are multiple advantages associated with using them.

Avoiding Sunburn: Sunburn can increase the risk of skin cancer while also leading to fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots. Spray tanning offers an effective solution as there is no direct contact with UV radiation during application of the tanner solution.

In contrast with sun tanning, which can irritate it further, spray tanning utilizes a safe and skin-friendly ingredient known as dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that reacts with amino acids present naturally within the body’s own amino acids to create an incredible tan. Furthermore, this method may also help those living with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or any other skin issues which cause redness and inflammation such as DHA treatments can do.

Exfoliation

Evans emphasizes the importance of exfoliating before getting a spray tan, since doing so will remove dead skin cells and allow your spray tan to adhere better to the surface of your skin. She advises exfoliating three days prior to your appointment using dry body scrubs like L’Oreal Paris Pure Sugar Resurface & Energize Kona Coffee Scrub ($32). Exfoliating also helps moisturize skin and shave, though rather than use shaving oil (which could leave behind an oil film), she advises using non-scented razors instead.

Prevention

For optimal results, wear loose, dark clothing after spray tanning to protect it and avoid coming in contact with fabrics that could rub off or smudge its color. Also avoid perfume, deodorant and makeup which could create barriers and keep the spray tan from penetrating evenly into your skin.

As well as its health and beauty benefits, a good spray tan can boost your confidence by hiding imperfections. A spray tan can make legs appear longer while also hiding varicose veins or stretch marks from view. Many people opt for this cosmetic procedure before important events, like first dates or school functions, to ease nerves and build their confidence so they make the right impression – but great tanning treatments are also excellent year-round ways of building confidence by making you appear toned while hiding any potential imperfections that arise from lack thereof!
