How To Get A Golden Tan With Self Tanning Spray Kits



By Haywood Hunter


The old method of tanning, by laying in the sun, has become unpopular in recent years. This can be contributed to the discovery that too much sun exposure poses a significant health risk. However, the market is full of alternatives like lotions, creams, gels and self tanning spray kits. Self tanning spray kits have become a popular choice for sunless tanning. They are reasonably priced, easy to use and the results are nothing less than professional grade. Once the spray is applied and dries, the process is complete.



Dihydroxyacetone is the chemical element in tanning formulas that creates the tan. It is special because it reacts when introduced to aminos in the skin. This reaction is how the tan is achieved. Dihydroxyacetone has been thoroughly evaluated by the FDA and given their approval of safety. No significant effects from it's use have occurred in studies, making it much safer to use than exposing the skin to the sun or bulbs in a tanning bed.

Self tanning spray kits are simple enough to use that even the first time user can achieve a flawless application. A few simple tips can be followed to prevent any unwanted looks. This tips do not require any special equipment.



Before self tanning spray kits are used, the skin should be tested. Follow the directions and apply to a small patch of skin. A waiting period of 24 hours should pass, to insure no reaction is going to occur. This can also help determine how effective the product is.

Self tanning is more effective when all dead skin has been removed first. This can be achieved by exfoliating the entire body. This is recommended because of the fact that the spray will adhere to the outer layer of skin. If dead skin is present, it will fall off and create an uneven tan in a matter of days. Healthy skin, however, is more absorbing and will keep a tan longer.

Moisturizer should also be applied to the skin after exfoliation has taken place. This should be done a few hours before self tanning spray kits are going to be used. During that few hours, the skin will soften a lot.

Darker colors should be worn during application. Self tanning spray kits often create stains, so darker colors will hide those if they do happen. Light colored clothing can be completely ruined.

Gloves are good to use, when using self tanning spray kits. Gloves protect the hands from too much spray getting on them and staining them. If a user does not use gloves, hands should be washed when application is finished.

When using self tanning spray kits, the spray should be even. It is helpful to keep a towel nearby to wipe dripping that could occur. Drips should be wiped away before they dry.

After self tanning spray kits are applied, the user should remain still for a minute. This prevents any streaking from occurring. If movement occurs while the spray is wet, joint areas will rub and streaks will appear.

Although self tanning spray kits typically already contain SPF, sunscreen should be applied when spending time in the sun for extra protection. Added protection is important as SPF can wear off as time passes. Without protection, sunburn can occur.
