How To Get A Sun Kissed 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.



The chemical compound dihydroxyacetone is what triggers the tanned look of the skin. When it mixes with aminos in the skin, a reaction begins that starts this process. The FDA evaluated the use of dihydroxyacetone and deemed it safe for use. It do not cause any significant effects and provides a safer alternative to exposing the skin UVs.

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.



Before self tanning spray kits are used, the skin should be tested. Follow the directions and apply to a small patch of skin. A waiting period of 24 hours should pass, to insure no reaction is going to occur. This can also help determine how effective the product is.

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 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.

Darker colors should be worn during application. Self tanning spray kits often create stains, so darker colors will hide those if they do happen. Light colored clothing can be completely ruined.

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.

Self tanning spray kits should be applied as evenly as possible. Having a towel handy during the process will allow drips to be wiped away quickly, before they cause streaks in the tan. If dripping does cause streaking, it is hard to fix.

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.
