Spray On Tans - Just Another Fad?
By Bob Pardue Photography
The following article covers a topic that has
recently moved to center stage--at least it seems that way. If you've
been thinking you need to know more about it, here's your
opportunity.
Spray on tans seem to be all the rage lately
and there is good reason for all the hype. We love the natural glow
of sun-kissed skin but getting the look naturally is close to
impossible for many of us. There are some options to consider when
choosing which spray on tans are right for you but you may want to
look into why this approach is better than others.
We know that the sun isnt our skins
best friend. In fact, sun exposure is the number-one cause of
wrinkles. You can save yourself future Botox appointments if you stay
out of the sun. However, this leaves you with dull, pale skin. Spray
on tans are here to address the need for a sun-kissed glow for those
who want to keep sun exposure to a minimum.
Why not just go to a tanning salon? Well, the
tanning booths arent much better for your skin than the sun is.
Spray on tans dont involve any harmful rays that can damage
delicate skin. I assume that you know at least one person who
worships the tanning booth and has the skin to prove it.
Spray on tans address the color of your skin
but it is purely topical. There are no rays that morph your
bodys pigmentation. My history teacher used to call tans
skin damage and she was pretty much on the mark in her
estimation. Why
risk damaging your skin when you can get comparable
results with spay on tans.
Hopefully the information presented so far has
been applicable. You might also want to consider the
following:
When I say comparable, I do mean that the spray
on tans are not created equally. You should probably invest in a
treatment at a spa at first. Home spray on tans might be a little
trickier. That is, unless you have a volunteer who is willing to put
the product on your back.
You also have to consider your elbows and
knees. Applying too much product on these areas will make them turn
orange and uneven because the skin is rougher in these areas of the
body. Spay on tans are difficult to maneuver and they tend to put on
an even coat.
This even coat is great for the rest of the
body but you want a sparse amount on the knees and elbows. Completely
skipping these areas will leave you with odd white spots that
arent very attractive, either.
I like to use spray on tans with an additional
product like tanning lotion or cloths. The lotions can be used to
touch up the little details to bring the whole glow together. With
products like these, I will never depend on the sun for tanning
again.
It never hurts to be well-informed with the
latest on tanning. Compare what you've learned here to future
articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of
tanning.
