A number of things you may want to know prior to booking a spray tan treatment

If you are intent on getting a spray tan then you might want to learn some background information on the topic.

This could be because you might be in two minds about whether a spray tan is right for you.

For that reason zz have written a list of the keys things to consider before getting a spray tan:

It is important to know exactly how long a spray tan will last and how long someone can last in between sessions. Buffing and exfoliation from wearing clothes and bathing sheds dead skin cells, which can mean your golden natural tan can fade quickly. Most tans have a staying power of between 5 to 10 days, but the average person can expect to have a tan for about a week. Although if the person uses a daily moisturiser after application then the effects can last slightly longer. That said, results vary as everybody is different and their skin will behave differently under the effects of the spray tanning fluid.

Not everyone tries spray tanning booths and in fact people should look at their complexion before they choose to opt to try it out. The way spray tanning fluid works is to enhance the natural tones in a person's skin, which means it is therefore better suited to people with darker skin. This means that, someone who has a Mediterranean complexion might very well benefit from using a spray tanning booth. Alternatively a person with fair skin might think that the bronze effect seems less natural than it would on other people and therefore not be the right choice.

To get a longer lasting glow from your tan, you can make a number of preparations. The first thing to do is ensure you exfoliate with a scrub or loofah to remove dead skin cells. This is due to the fact that for a spray tan to fully develop the person will need to avoid showering for twelve hours after their spray tan. To get a really even finish on their tan the person is advised to wax or shave to remove hair before they go for their tan. Also, it is important to remember to come to the tanning salon in loose fitting, dark clothing as after the procedure that the solution will come off onto clothes.

The cost of the spray tanning procedure will change depending on where the salon is located and the specific service that's requested. The price can also change if multiple visits are prearranged in advance. For instance spray tanning from www.Sienna-X.co.uk usually costs about £25.00 per person, however this does include sachets of pre/post tan care products to assist in the effect. Booking in advance can help many clients to make a saving. For example, multi-tan sessions are offered at a reduced rate or can come with an additional session for free. There are also spray tan parties, where the host gets a free spray tan.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the main chemical component in a spray on tan and although it is non-toxic it can be an allergen to some people. Thanks to this, people new to spray tanning should really undergo a patch test before they use the tanning booth for the first time. Even though most people won't have this kind of allergy, it's always worth having the test done before you decide to get into a tanning booth! After all it is better to be safe than sorry especially as the DHA will span the whole of your body and this means the allergic reaction will be quite large and not localised.

By following these guidelines you know if a spray on tan is a good idea for your own personal circumstances.
