Home Spray Tan
If you want to create a fake tan without paying too much money on a salon session, here are a few things you should know about how to use a home spray tan with maximum of results. The price of a tanning session divides the users’ opinions regarding the two main options available: machine tanning or do-it-yourself tanning. But, we’ll only discuss the tanning option available for home use.
The application of the home spray tan should follow a careful skin preparation. The best time to exfoliate the skin is after shower, with the mention to skip the moisturizing part. Why is exfoliation necessary? 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.
No-name products will always be cheaper, that is a fact, but the decision is up to the buyer whether to go for quality or for price advantages. The difference between different tan sprays is the bronze look and the quality of the spread. Color builds in time, but many people do not know this and tend to spray some more bronzer thus ruining the effect. Little active substance should be used at the very beginning, spread a thin film and let it work and brown the skin gently.
After you apply the home spray tan, allow it to dry before getting dressed and avoid contact with water for the next five hours. There may be a problem if you apply the home spray tan before intense physical exercises, because intense perspiration may cause streaking. The setting of the color depends on total skin dryness. The life of the tan will be prolonged if you take quick showers with warm water and mild soaps. 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 rub lemon juice in the skin to reduce the tan intensity.
