How Brown Will I Get From Spray Tanning?

When we hear from new clients, the first thing everyone wants to know is how brown they will get from their first spray tanning session. The thing about spray tanning is that no one can determine for sure how dark your tan is going to be until you have tried it at least once. Different skin types react differently to the DHA in sunless tanning solutions resulting in a range of different colors.

Other factors that can determine the color of your skin after a spray tanning session include the custom level of the application applied by the technician.  A professional spray tan technician will base this upon your natural skin tone and the desired look you are going for.  Also, the bronzer in the solution can affect the final color of your tan.  Many companies offer a clear solution, however through our experience, the bronzer will have an impact on the coloration.  At WestCoast we use only the highest quality products with natural looking bronzers, leaving you with the most natural looking tan!  No Orange what so ever!  We promise!

The most important factor in determining how dark your spray tan will be is the length of time you wait after your session before taking your shower. The longer the DHA solution is left on the skin, the longer it has to react with the amino acids on the skin resulting in a darker tan. Sometimes it can take a couple of spray tan sessions in order to achieve the level of darkness that you are looking for with your tan; however, most of our clients are extremely satisfied with the color that they achieve from their first spray tanning session!

If you have been interested in trying a spray tan, but you have some reservations.....your scared it will come out like in the movies, your friends tell your they turn you orange, you hear they smell, make you sticky, and stain your bedsheets, etc.  I will promise you, with a WestCoast custom spray tan we will put your fears to rest!  You will be the talk of all your friends & co-workers, but it will be about how amazing you look, and you can tell them all "Yes, It's a Spray Tan.........and it's fabulous!"

Eight Things To Know About Spray Tanning

They say you can't predict the weather, but that means you also can't predict when - or even whether - you'll be able to get a natural tan. This is one of the reasons spray tans are becoming so popular. Otherwise known as a 'sunless tan', they allow you to be a bronzed beauty any time of year, whatever the weather. Here are eight things to know about spray tanning.

Exfoliating is vital
When it comes to spray tanning, it is very important that you exfoliate your skin properly. This is to remove the dead layers of skin so that you are essentially starting from a blank, fresh canvas. This will give your spray tan the best start in life and will also remove any makeup or perfume from your skin, which is vital as these can act as a barrier to the tan.

It works for any skin type
Particularly if you have very fair skin, you will no doubt know the frustration of never tanning at all - or worse, burning at the first sign of summer. Luckily, getting a spray tan is a good alternative as it works on everyone. People's skin might develop the tan to different extents, but having a pale complexion is no barrier to spray tanning.

The active ingredient
The active ingredient in spray tan is known as dihydroxyacetone (or DHA for short). This reacts with the amino acids in your skin to develop the tan over a period of twelve hours. This means you should avoid showering for the first twelve hours after getting your tan done to give it time to develop on your skin.

It's safe
Spray tanning is popular because it removes the vast majority of the safety hazards associated with sun tanning. DHA is a natural chemical that has been used in cosmetics for over thirty years and it is very safe. Only a tiny number of people are allergic to it so you will more than likely be fine with it, but if you are worried then you can do a small skin test first to make sure.

Longevity
Depending on how well you exfoliated your skin and how your skin normally behaves, your spray tan should last between five and ten days. You can make it last as long as possible by moisturising your skin on a daily basis so it and your tan will stay in good condition for as long as possible.

Types of application
There are two main types of spray tan application. You can choose to go to a technician who will manually spray on the tan for you, or to a salon where they use an automated machine to do it. Obviously, your preference will affect which one of these you decide to go for.

Very effective
It is estimated that one spray tanning session is the rough equivalent to around six sessions on a sunbed, making it a very effective form of tanning as you will get the colour you are after much more quickly.

They look great
Finally, this can't be said enough. Spray tans look great. They give you a healthy colour and mean that you can have a safe tan all year round, so if you are after a bit of an image change, you should definitely give spray tanning a go.

Spray Tanning - A Growing Trend

Spray tanning is no longer just for the Celebrities of the world—it’s gaining popularity, and it’s going global.

Since 1989, the sunless tanning technique has come a long way. Once the territory of the déclassé, it’s now used by princesses and politicians alike, according to a story that traces its origins in Bloomberg Businessweek.

From 2005 the market has doubled in size. It’s driven by celebrity endorsements such as Jennifer Aniston, and some of the more classy establishments charge $350 for a tan that will last no longer than a week.



And, as the industry develops, you’re also less likely to come out looking like an Oompa Loompa—something to keep in mind this holiday weekend.
