A Number Of Things You May Need To Know Before Having A Spray Tan Treatment

This might be because you may be in two minds about whether a spray tan is the correct thing for you.

For that reason Sienna-X.co.uk have made a list of the main ideas to consider prior to arranging a spray tan:

It is worthwhile knowing how long you can expect a spray tan to last and the time required between sessions. When we wash and dress ourselves we shed dead skin cells, which reveals new skin and causes sun tans to fade. 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. However, if the person avoids exfoliation and moisturises then they will see their tan lasting up to a couple of days longer. But peoples skin holds on to tans differently and their skin will therefore react differently to the spray tanning fluid.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the main chemical component in a spray on tan and even though it may be a non-toxic substance it can still be an allergen to some people. Due to this people that haven't used a spray tan before should really have an allergy test before using a tanning booth for the first time. Even though this form of allergy is very rare, 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 substance will be put onto your whole body so an allergic reaction will be quite uncomfortable and not at all localised.

Spray tanning booths are not for everyone and in fact whether a person decides to use one should depend upon their complexion. 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 suggests that a person with a Mediterranean complexion could definitely benefit from stepping into 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.

The cost of spray tanning can vary depending on the location of the store and the specific service that a person requires. Prices also vary depending on whether a person books in advance or books multiple sessions. For example, spray tanning from Sienna-X.co.uk can cost in the region of 25-30, however within this price clients also receive pre-post tan products too. To make a bit of a saving it's worth booking a session in advance. In some cases arranging a multi-tan session early can lead to reductions. A free spray tan can be taken advantage of by hosts of spray tan parties too.

People can prepare for a spray tan in a couple of different ways. Scrubbing your skin to reveal new layers and remove old cells is essential before any spray tan. This is because in order for the spray tan to be effective, it is essential not to shower for at least twelve hours following a tan. To get a really even finish on their tan the person is advised to shave or wax the day before their tan application. Finally it is important to come to the tanning salon in dark, comfortable clothes as after the tanning solution is applied some of the colour will come off.

BY sticking to these pointers you should have a better idea of whether a spray on tan is a good idea for your circumstances.
