Besides the obvious that spray tanning is a better alternative than tanning beds, it is also more convenient, less costly and less time consuming. Even though going to a salon for spray tanning is nice, it can also be considerably expensive for how long your tan lasts. I've only done it once a few years ago for my senior prom. I used to lllooovvveeee going tanning in the tanning beds but senior year I had to have a mole removed immediately because the doctor said it was abnormal. Skin cancer runs on both sides of my family and had I kept going tanning at the rate I was going, I would have had skin cancer by my senior year of college (now). So... spray tanning became the alternative. Here's what I use at home:
This is a really great product I highly recommend. After showering, apply all over and let it dry. THE TRICK: After applying this self tanner use a regular daily lotion. Apply your lotion everywhere you sprayed to help buffer and evenly apply the tan eliminating streaks. Once you're done applying, wash your hands (soap and water) so you won't have awkward colored palms. If you sprayed your arms, after washing your hands take some regular lotion and apply working from the wrists down to your fingertips allowing the tan to "stretch" and fade to your fingertips. That way it doesn't look like you have a tan with sleeves that cut off at the wrists and then have white hands.
Need a face tan?
LOVE this face moisturizer with gradual tanning by Victoria's Secret!
Even though I loved going in tanning beds, it isn't worth ruining your skin and dramatically increasing your risk of skin cancer. Use this trick with your self tanning lotions at home and I guarantee people will still compliment you on your tan.
