We all know that tanning beds are not healthy and make you age faster, and most of us that have used a spray tan booth have not had great experiences, but places like Elite Tanning located in Provo UT, have figured out how to give a safe and great looking airbrush tan for a good price that will not turn you orange, and only takes 15 minutes to get. Things that are important to ask a Tanning salon that you should know.
Do they have photos of people that have been sprayed by them, NOT MAGAZINE PRINTS BUT PHOTOS YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IN MEDIA PLACES, (like t.v. etc...) These types of photos can be purchased.
Ask how long the solution can stay good, if its longer than two and a half months to three they are not using a natural based solution and you should avoid them due to the fact that if it cant go bad its filled with chemicals.
find out if it smells bad cause you will smell like the tan for at least a day or two.
Ask how long the tan will last, then ask if it will dry out your skin.
they should last around 7 to ten days on average, they will dry out your skin no matter what they say. its recommended that you use tanning extenders or at the very least moisturizer lotion.
Now questions about tanning....
How do i make sure to get a even spray tan.
The salon should be able to tell you this in detail after all they should be the experts right?
To ensure a better tan here are a few before the tan tips..
1. Dont shave the day of the tan shave the day before
2. Make sure to shower well exfoliate good when you shower.
3. do not wear any type of make-up, deodorant or hair product before the tan.
4. Make sure to apply powder to places you may sweat easily after the tan if they do not do it for you.
We don't shave a day before due to the fact that the solution can get in the pores and darken them causing the effect of hair starting to grow.
we exfoliate so the outer layer of skin is gone due to the fact the outer most layer of skin is where the solution turns color, thus new skin will last longer than old skin.
We do not wear make-up and such cause it will block the tanning solution from tanning those areas.
we put powder so the tan does not smear or get blotchy looking from water directly after getting sprayed.
