How spray tan works
For those who live in the city, those who are always busy or those who simply want to go to the beach and make everyone die of envy because already tanned, you can use the spray tan. This cosmetic treatment will allow you to have one perfect and homogeneous tan without having to spend hours and hours in the sun in the heat. Furthermore, there are two possible ways to perform the treatment, the first at a beauty center, or with do-it-yourself from the comfort of your home.
The result of the latter, however, could be less professional.
Of the pro we can certainly say that the tanning spray it has no contraindications, unlike the sun’s rays, being therefore a valid, safe and not harmful alternative.
How it functions and what it contains
The spray tan has depopulated among the stars, how to blame them, the ideal solution for a last minute tan before a red carpet.
Unlike the lamp, which works like intense sun exposure; the spray allows you to get a complexion more quickly if not immediate.
When carrying out the treatment in beauty centers, it comes nebulized on the body this blend containing shea butter and a nutrient that is extracted from brown sugar known as dihydroxyacetone. Shea butter has the function of to feed our skin, while dihydroxyacetone, in contact with our skin, reacts e gives a veil of gilding. Unlike classic self-tanners, this treatment does not create orange halos or color spots. On the contrary, its result will be uniform and homogeneous.
How much does the tan cost and how long does it last
If you perform the treatment at a beauty center, the session will be of about a few minutes and the price will be around € 50 per session. Once the spray is done, during the first few hours it will not be necessary to wet the skin, otherwise its effect may wear off more quickly. But don’t worry if you wake up the next morning to find a golden halo on your sheets, it’s normal after the first night. The duration of your golden complexion will be instead of a week with a perfect texture, then as you take a shower it will begin to lose intensity. This is because unlike the lamp, which acts deeper allowing longer-term results; the spray gives you an immediate effect but operates on the surface of the skin thus fading more quickly.
What to do before and after the spray shower
If you care about your tan then you will certainly know that the must-have before any exposure to the sun it is scrub. Also in this case, before the treatment we will have to perform a scrub to eliminate all dead cells and allow the tan to take root at its best. We usually always combine the scrub with the cream, which should be used every day, except in this case. Before the treatment, do not put any type of cream or oil. On the contrary, once the treatment has been performed, then after, put always cream after each shower to prevent your skin from drying out.
As mentioned above, avoid getting the skin wet in the hours following the treatment, therefore also avoid sports and sweat. This is because the substances sprayed on your body will act even after application before then stabilizing. For the same reason, we therefore advise you to wear black or dark clothes on the same day and the day after the treatment.
Remember that despite your complexion, you are not really tanned. If you go to the sea you will still have to put on a sunscreen, since the spray tan will not act as a protective.
Spray tan at home: how it works
If for you the session at the beautician costs too much but you still don’t want to give up a beautiful complexion, here you are the solution at home. Yes, there are self-tanning sprays, the risk however, is to get a uneven complexion. Some areas are difficult to reach independently and you have to be very careful during drying.
Our advice is either to ask a friend for help, you hate focus on one area only to see how it goes. For example, try with your legs. The canister must stand a 15cm apart from the leg while you spray the product and you have to proceed slowly to avoid having to go back to it later.
