How To Look Great 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.



A chemical in all sunless tanning products, known as dihydroxyacetone, is the reason these products work. When dihydroxyacetone mixes with aminos presents in the skin, a reaction takes places that causes the skin to change color. The FDA has tested this element of self tanners and tests have shown that it is exceptionally safe for use. No significant effects on the body have been reported from the use of dihydroxyacetone, making it a safe alternative for tanning.

Self tanning spray kits can provide a quality tan to even the most inexperienced user. As long as a few basic tips are used during the process, there should not be any problems. These tips are simple to implement and easy to understand.



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.

For the most effective tanning, dead skin should be removed from the body. This can be done through a simple exfoliation process. The reasoning behind this is that these sprays adhere to the outer most layer of skin. As dead skin cells fall off, the tan will become blotchy looking in a short period of time. Healthy skin cells, on the other hand, accept self tanners rather well and will provide the user with a flawless looking tan that lasts much longer.

The skin should also be moisturized after exfoliating. It is best to do this several hours before plans to use self tanning spray kits. During this time the skin will soften up and result in a better tan.

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.

Gloves are also useful, when using self tanning spray kits. This prevents the hands from becoming unnaturally colored during the application process. If gloves are not used, hands should be washed immediately, to prevent the color from becoming to dark.

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 the application of self tanning spray kits, no movement should take place for a minute. If the user moves while the tanner is wet, areas like the joints will rub off. This creates problems that reveal the tan is sunless.

Even though self tanning spray kits usually contain an added SPF protection, sunscreen should still be applied any time the skin will be exposed to the sun. SPF can wear off quickly in this products. It is always best to add an extra layer of protection, just in case.
