Perfect for special occasions or large events, so many people I swear by spray tan for the fact that they are sharp, expertly applied, and can be personal to your skin tone and taste. However, I know that for many people (included themselves), the idea of taking off in front of a stranger is less than attractive. Therefore, I wanted to find out what is involved in a spray tan, how long it lasts, and what are the professionals and opposition.
Next, I caught together James HarknetThree warriors global creative artists, And Sophie EventCelebrity Tanning Artist of St. TropaseWho has liked between them Daisy Edgar JonesAshley Graham and Bella HadidTo get their final spray tan tips.
What is spray tan?
Typically, there are two methods of spray tan – one is performed in a booth through a machine and the other is performed by a tan technician or physician using a special spray gun. Whatever you choose, both spray tan contains something called dihydroxyacetone (or DHA), a sugar molecule and tanning agent that interacts with amino acids in your skin and causes the surface level to temporarily deepen the color.
The most popular option, and that will a more personal finish is the spray gun. And if you are selecting for this, most appointments will start with consultation with your tanning artist. “You should use this time to explain what kind of look you are after, in terms of depth, what self-tan you have first used and if you liked the end result, and when you want to bathe the solution,” Evans“This information is so important so that we can choose the right solution for your skin type and lifestyle.”
How does a spray tan work?
Once the tanning artist has decided to have the best formulation for you, it is time to start. You will be asked to tie your hair, remove any jewelery, and will be provided disposable underwear if you want to use it. Your doctor will then apply a moisturizer or barrier cream in any field that can be complicated for the tan. “In those areas to prevent tan darkness in elbows, knees, arms, legs and any severe dry areas,” EvansThen you will step into the tanning booth, if you are in the salon, or a pop-up tanning tent to start.
“The tanning solution that is right for you, then the airbrush will be done in many light layers,” Evans“We usually spray the entire part of the first front, then repeat the whole back, then the sides, and the whole process. Then we will spray the face and hands with the face.” If you have some contour hiding or want, a dark tanning solution is sprayed using a small and more accurate airbrush. Total time taken? About 5 minutes – this is fast.
Once your doctor checked that your tan is dry, you may be asked to wear a rebel for a few minutes before wearing clothes and then your care will be provided. “It is advised when to take your first shower, which is so important because it is when that guide color is removed to reveal your end result,” EvansWear clothes in initial consultation and ready to leave, Evans About 20 minutes of treatment is estimated.
Does your face spray during spray tan?
While the color on your face will be finally applied during a spray tan, whether you want this spraying is above you. “Your face can promote a quick radiation after spraying gently and, if you have a reliable doctor using a professional solution that suits the tone of your skin, it can give unreliable results,” HarknetHowever, if you like to tan your face at home, your doctor will work to fade the tan from under the neck and leave your face alone.
Do you wear anything during a spray tan?
Simply put, it is below for you. Wherever you are getting tanned, you should provide disposable underwear, but Evans It is said that “whatever you wear, you will have tan lines”. For some people, it is aesthetic that they want, so Evans Recommends bringing a bikini with you. “However, you can go to commando – which is the most popular – so that zero tan lines,” she explains.
What to wear for your appointment, as, Harknet Some suggests loose and flowing. He said, “Ideally, once you are developing in your body, the straps do not be hot and rub against the skin, which causes patch color,” he recommends. Another tip? Harknet If you are putting the socks back, ask your doctor to put some talc on your feet, but Flip flop Make a great option for footwear post-appointment.
How long does a spray tan last?
Like most things, the longevity of a spray tan will be different for all. However, Evans If they have been applied correctly, then rates them as the longest for the longest of all self-tanning methods. She explains, “You need to spray with many light layers, not only one or two heavy coats – such as how your nails are painted in the salon,” she explains. Generally, however, with the correct application and after the aftercare, you can expect a spray tan for about 10 days.
What to do before spray tan
Preparation before your spray tan appointment can create or break a luxurious glow. “It is necessary to present, but surprisingly, the endless day of exfoliating will not give your body to your body,” says Harknetinstead, Harknet Gently suggests exfoliating gently about 12 hours before your spray tan appointment and then leaves your skin completely naked and free from any body lotion, moisturizer or oils.
“Hair removal is also an important thing for time,” tells Harknet“Waxing and shaving strip the skin and leave the pores, which means the applied color can sit in them and look noticeable.” He suggests shaving 24 hours before your spray tan appointment, and also does the best waxing to prevent wax from leaving behind any obstruction on the skin. ,
What to do after a spray tan
For your spray tan for long as possible, it is important to follow your doctor’s specific aftercare instructions. However, some things are to do and do not do for the best results. Evans The first shower suggests using lukewarm water instead of heating, and Harknet As far as it is to be said that avoid adoption in the bath for a long time and keep the shower small and cool for the perfection of that time, which you restrict on.
In terms of maintenance, Evans recommends daily moisturizing with a non-oil-based lotion. She says, “Oils can make the skin susceptible to exfoliation, so be really soft with your skin and avoid rubbing.” And, if you exercise regularly, and wear tight clothes that can rub, try to apply some talc or barrier cream in the areas around your sports bra or tops. Leggings Where the body can fade rapidly.
“Generally, your face, hand and feed will fade the fastest faded, so investing in a different face self-tanner for revaluation is a good idea,” Evansearn
What are the negative of spray tan?
Given that a professional has worked hard in the context of the application, and you would have clear instructions to take care of your tan, I was eager to find out if the expert either thought there were no downside to spray tan.
“This is probably not the most economical option – spray tan is the most expensive way to get a tan,” says EvansYes, when you can get multiple applications from a bottle of self-tan, just a spray appointment can set you back from £ 30 to £ 60, on the basis of widespread fluctuations in prices on which country you are based and which salon you are going. In addition, it is clear, that some people may panic about strip. “Somebody has to see you naked for a spray tan, but a good tanner is looking at your skin, not your overall body so you should not feel frightened,” Evans,
Ultimately, a spray tan coverage, great longevity and bronze are actually one of the fastest ways to fake a safe shine with individual levels. For special occasions and tanning novils, it makes sense.
