How Long Does Spray Tanning Last?

Spray tanning is becoming more popular for those wanting a sun-kissed glow because it is safe, convenient, quick and easy. Spray tanning provides even the palest of skin with an instant tan in only a few minutes, and the best part about spray tanning is that it won’t damage your skin like traditional tanning.

Options

Those choosing the spray tan option can choose to either get an airbrushed spray tan or have it done in a booth. When the tan is airbrushed, an assistant has spray the tan on your body, but when it is done in a booth, the individual getting the tan does not need any assistance.

The Process

Before going to get spray tanned, it is best to exfoliate the skin to remove any dead skin cells.  This can be done by using a body scrub brush or some type of body scrub. Exfoliating before spray tanning gives your spray tan a longer life than if you tan without exfoliating first; therefore, it is a very important step. Many people choose to get their tan on while wearing a swimming suit; however, tanning nude is an option if you want an even color all over your body. Spray tanning allows you to choose the desired glow you want to achieve, making it a great option for those who are pale and only want a light tan and for those who want a deep, dark tan. 

Results

Immediately after spray tanning, you notice a little bit of color change and the results continue to develop over the next six to 12 hours. A spray tan typically lasts between five and seven days before it needs to be repeated depending on how well your skin is exfoliated beforehand. Spray tanning is the safest way to achieve a bronzed glow to your skin, it looks natural and goes on evenly.
