Tanning Salon

The most popular method to have 365 days a year tan is by using a tanning booth on a regular basis. It is the number of cases of skin cancer caused by too much exposure to the sun that has led to this rise in alternative but safer methods. The latest method proving very popular (owing to its speed) is spray tanning as it only requires a single application. If you want to have a fake color that does not have streak marks then spraying seems to be the superior system over creams and lotions.

Although the popularity is still to be proved, systems using the new spray tanning technology have been designed for home use. Whichever method you decide upon there are some simple but basic steps needed to ensure the best effect. Probably the most important aspect and the first one to carry out is getting rid of the dead skin on your body by exfoliating. The last thing you want is to have dead skin dropping off and leaving lighter patches where it once was.

Once that stage has been completed, the body needs to be moisturized all over. Secondly, you always want to wear gloves if you are applying the tanning agent yourself to avoid getting the dreaded orange palms which are a dead give away that your tan is fake. Also, apply lighter coats on the joints of your fingers, your knees, and your elbows as these areas will appear darker if you do not and the same applies to your feet. Even spray tanning can cause the odd problem if there is an excess and it starts to run so take a towel you no longer want with you to wipe it off.

Don’t wiggle around a lot after applying the self tanning agent, remaining as motionless as possible will help to ensure an even tan. Don’t forget to wear some old clothes as fake tan is notorious for staining almost anything it touches. You should choose something dark and also maybe something you don’t particularly care for until the excess is worn off. Applying an artificial tan successfully means there are a few rules to follow which should ensure it looks as genuine as possible.
