How to Spray Tan and Save Time Going to the Tanning Salons

For Asians, looking pale is a hit. However, Caucasians think that their pale color makes them look boring, thus the birth of tanning and tanning salons. Sunbathing is the easiest way to get a natural tan, but one must be very careful.

With today’s normal lifestyle, however, most people do not have enough time to regularly sunbathe. Thanks, to tanning lotions and spray tans, the task becomes much easier - it usually just takes minutes.

Spray tanning kits have ingredients called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that turns your skin into tan, and when applied properly, you can achieve the perfect, sexy bronze color. The fake tan is completely safe and lasts for 3 - 7 days. Because it doesn’t provide sun protection, you still have to wear sunscreen over it whenever you head out.

Spray tanning is so common nowadays that most people don’t even bother going to the tanning salon to do it, instead, they do it themselves. There are 2 ways to apply spray tan at home - first, by using an airbrush, or airgun, and second, by spraying it directly from a bottle.
