Spray Tanning – All the Post-Tan Precautionary Measures

This technique enable clients to achieve glow all year long without posing any health related risks of tanning beds. The procedure is relatively easy. A light layer of mist is transpired onto the target areas of skin, hence, turning skin into a natural-looking tint of tan.

Procedure

The process works because of a chemical called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical is actually colorless, but it interacts with the amino acids that naturally occur in skin cells. When they come into contact, the skin cells become several shades darker.

Although the idea of tanning yourself with chemical that causes your skin cells to change color may give the wrong impression but this technique is totally safe and sound. It has no known health risks, and it has been used for cosmetic reasons for decades.

Things to Keep in Mind prior to the treatment

Do not Wear Makeup

The beautician will tint your face, so make sure all of your makeup is clean prior the appointment. To be on the safer side, pack a few wipes just in case there is not any available at your parlor.

Do not Use Self-tanner

It is not easy being pale, more so when one is used to a bronze tint, but resist the urge of using self-tanner and moisturizer.

Do not Wax or Shave

Since either of hair removal process might seem like a harmless part of your routine, ideally should be done at least a day before you get a spray spur. In case of waxing, the potential leftover wax left on your skin, which, if not properly cleared, can leave untanned marks on the skin.

Do not Over-Exfoliate your Skin

To slough before your tan aids prep the skin for an optimal spray tan, clears dead skin cells, and casts a fresh new slate.

Do not Wear Tight Clothing

Wear easy, loose clothes to your tan appointment. It may take up to 15-20 minutes—longer than most people realize—for the DHA and bronzer to dry and settle, so there is not only the risk of peeling off your tan, but also spattering your clothing if it’s too uptight.

What to do During A Tan?

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. Irrespective of whether that is a bikini, or some underwear, your tanning technician should back your choice. It is imperative to tell your beautician if you are pregnant, so you should consult with your doctor. If you get the clearance, ask your technician to do a patch test on your skin, as yours may be more sensual than usual. In addition, do let your artist know if you are breast-feeding, in case, as they must then avoid the nipples.

Post-tan

The potential amount of time you will need to hold out before bathing depends on the kind of tan you used. Generally spray tans will need about 10 hours to develop (it is better to sleep that out and then shower in the morning); however some express solutions will enable you to shower after one to three hours. There are also some clear tans, which do not require a shower, though the spray tan will complete developing after 12 hours.

How long Will My Tan Last?

Ideally anywhere from six to twelve days. Face and hands will last even shorter span of time, since you will be washing them more often.
