For years many people have been using tanning beds and exposing themselves to the harmful effects of ultra violet rays. As we all know, this can result in some detrimental side effects concerning our health. A better alternative for achieving that sun kissed look is to use the spray tan which is a much safer way to create that outdoor, healthy look.
The recommended alternative to acquire a beautiful, even tan is to visit a salon that offers a spray tan system. This is achieved inside a tanning booth where a series of spray tan nozzles emit the tanning formula onto the front of the body first. You need to stand in a certain spot the right distance from the tanning source for about fifteen second, then turn around and allow your back to be sprayed as well. The arms need to be held up so that the spray will also reach the sides of the body.
Some preparations must first be followed to ensure an even, natural looking tan. Any dry patches of skin will need to be removed with an exfoliant. Scrubbing the dead skin off of the body and especially in the notoriously dry areas such as the elbows and knees will help to achieve an enhanced tan.
Use a shower cap to cover your hair leaving the hairline and ears exposed to the spray. Then cover areas like the finger nails, toes, soles of the feet and palms of the hands with a barrier gel that will prevent deeper staining. The tanning salon will more than likely supply you with the gel since we don't use this under any other circumstances.
Place a pair of eye glasses on for eye protection from the spray tan formula as well as plugs for the nostrils. Once you close the door to the booth there will be audio instructions that will clearly explain where to stand and how to press the right button to start the spray tan treatment. Be sure to keep the eye glasses on.
The nozzles will discharge a fine mist of the spray tan formula. This process will only last about 15 seconds. You must keep your arms raised to ensure that the sides of the body will also get covered. When the spray tan is turned off, you then turn around and repeat the procedure remembering to place the hands in front of you with the palms facing your chest.
After another 15 seconds, the spray tan system will stop and you can leave the booth. Once you have removed the shower cap, glasses and nose plugs you can take a towel and use it to remove any residual stain on the body. It is recommended that you wear loose clothing so as to reduce any risk of rubbing any of the freshly sprayed stain off. You can take a shower after waiting 7 hours.
Spray tan in a booth is much safer than using the tanning beds. It is not only a healthier alternative but it is also less expensive and quicker to achieve that desired sun kissed look. You can rest assured that the spray tan technique is one that you will return to time again when you need that quick pick me up.
