How To Get A Gorgeous Tan Using Self Tanning Spray Kits

By Haywood Hunter


The traditional method for tanning has become quite unpopular, largely due to the health risks of spending too much time in the sun. Different alternative methods are now available, including creams, lotions, gels and self tanning spray kits. Self tanning spray kits are emerging as one of the most popular choices for home tanning. They are inexpensive, simple to use and provide professional level results. The skin is sprayed and once it dries, the application is complete.



Dihydroxyacetone is the chemical element in tanning formulas that creates the tan. It is special because it reacts when introduced to aminos in the skin. This reaction is how the tan is achieved. Dihydroxyacetone has been thoroughly evaluated by the FDA and given their approval of safety. No significant effects from it's use have occurred in studies, making it much safer to use than exposing the skin to the sun or bulbs in a tanning bed.

Self tanning spray kits create a high quality tan without any experience needed. By doing nothing more than following the instructions and implementing a few tips, anyone should be able to apply the tanner themselves. No assistance should be required, if done correctly.



Testing on the skin should take place before self tanning spray kits are used. Begin by applying the product to a small area first. Wait for 24 hours to see if any skin reaction, such as a rash, occurs. This tip will also allow the user to see how well the product works.

Tanning is more effective when any dead skin has been removed from the body first. A quick exfoliation treatment will take care of this. When tanners are applied over dead skin, they become patchy. Applying these products on fresh skin, however, allows the tanner to be absorbed better and the tan lasts a much longer time.

The skin should also be moisturized after exfoliation. Moisturizer should be added a couple of hours before using self tanning spray kits. This is so it has time to soften the skin.

Dark colors are best to wear while applying self tanning spray kits. Since darker hues don't show staining as easily, there won't be any issue if staining occurs while using self tanning spray kits. Light colors, however, can be destroyed.

Another useful option is gloves for using self tanning spray kits. The hands have a tendency to become very dark while applying these products. By using gloves, this problem is resolved. Alternatively, a user can wash their hands immediately after application to prevent unnatural darkening.

When using self tanning spray kits, the spray should be even. It is helpful to keep a towel nearby to wipe dripping that could occur. Drips should be wiped away before they dry.

After self tanning spray kits are applied, the user should remain still for a minute. This prevents any streaking from occurring. If movement occurs while the spray is wet, joint areas will rub and streaks will appear.

Most importantly, always wear sunblock when going out into the sun. Even though almost all self tanning spray kits contain SPF protection, it is always best to add extra. SPF wears away over time, even before the tan is gone.
