Since the beginning of the pandemic, many of us have not had the opportunity to soak up the sun on the beach and reap the benefits of having sun kissed skin. Thankfully, there is a fun alternative that gives you beautiful bronzed skin without burning your skin under the harmful rays of the sun; that is spray tanning. Spray tanning is the best form of self-tanning where a fine mist is sprayed on the body. Let’s dive into the world of spray tanning together.
The main ingredient in quality spray tanners is Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), it’s an ingredient that interacts with the skin to allow it to gradually tan over time. I have been spray tanning as a customer for about four years and have been providing it as a service for three years. As a service provider, it’s so great for me to see the immediate result for my clients and honestly, it’s so much fun to spray tan; I always have a blast with my people.
The first couple of questions I always get when talking about spray tanning is: is it safe? How do I prepare for spray tanning? First question: yes, spray tanning is safe, there are no harmful ingredients in the products I use for spray tanning. Second question, there are several things to do in preparation for a spray tanning session: first, shave and/or wax at least one to two days before your appointment (shaving and waxing is a form of exfoliation, when you exfoliate after a spray tan, you can fade the tan quickly) second, exfoliate the day before your appointment, the less dead skin cells the better (trust me, the results will be amazing) third, come to your appointment with no moisturizers or deodorant on, these products can act like a barrier on the skin and will not allow the spray tan to blend into the skin, fourth, wear loose clothing, the longer you can wait to rinse it off, the better the result.
Spray tanning is a great way to have that sun kissed glow without having to spend hours baking in the sun. the great thing about That’s So tanning products is that they have a variety of shades to suit all skin types. It can be customized and it’s a lot of fun seeing the difference almost immediately on my clients. Another thing my clients can do is home care with their spray tanning, there are products that can be used to maintain the tanning colour and keep the skin hydrated and glowing; these products are a self-tanning mouse and self-tanning spray, with different shades to choose from, we can always find the perfect shade for everyone.
