Simple Steps For The Perfect Spray Tan Application

By Susan Jumonville


Many people spend a lot to time and money into achieving a flawless tan that they can flaunt around mostly in the summer months when shorts and small tops are popular. A simple, no hassle way that a glowing tan can be achieved rather than spending a bunch on time in the blazing sun is getting a spray tan. These are some simple spray tan application steps that you can do to get the tan you want.



Before applying any sunless tanning products, you will need to shower and thoroughly exfoliate the skin to eliminate any dead skin cells, paying extra attention to the elbow and knee areas. You can simply use a washcloth to get rid of any rough patches on the skin or you can use a cleansing puff. Make sure that you dry your skin completely after showering and before beginning with the sunless tanning application.

You will need to read the instructions thoroughly before application of any tanning product. To be safe it is highly recommended that you test the product on a small section of your skin to eliminate any possibilities of allergic reactions. When you are sure there are no allergic reactions to the product, you can proceed with the full application.



It is strongly suggested that you use some protection for your hands while applying the tanning mixture to the rest of your body. The result of not using some form of protection like gloves, your hands will turn a orange color that is not very appealing and you will want to avoid this. After spreading the mixture to the rest of your body, even if you did wear protection you should still wash your hands.

The best way to avoid streaking in your tan is to apply the mixture evenly by using steady, smooth strokes. Try to avoid using excessive amounts of solution, especially in the elbow, knee, and ankle areas where the skin tends to be more dry and rough, which the solution will not absorb into the skin very well causing discolor. It is a good idea to go ahead and exfoliate these areas later after the solution has dried for a more natural look.

It is suggested that you wait to get dressed until the product has a chance to dry completely to keep from staining your clothes. Each brand is different but is mostly the length of 10 to 15 minutes. Some brands of self tanner suggests not to bathe or wash until a period of 24 hours have past for the best tanning results.

To make the tan last longer and to keep the skin hydrated, it is recommended that you apply a moisturizer to the skin after the tanning solution has fully dried. The best type of moisturizer to use would be the type that is specifically made to work with a sunless tanner. Applying the moisturizer every day for about a week will help the sunless tanner last longer and keep the skin smooth and supple.

When you decide to use a spray tan instead of spending countless hours in the sun, you will notice that you will get a more even tan and will use up less of your valuable time to achieve the look that you want. Now you can wear your shorts and tank tops with confidence because you know you have that healthy bronze glow you always wanted.
