One of the advantages of using a spray tan machine over other products such as gels and lotions is that it’s much easier to get a complete and even coverage of your skin. With a tanning lotion it can be difficult to know where you’ve put the cream and where you haven’t but with a spray tan booth this is more straightforward. It’s also much easier to make sure you don’t over apply the tanning cream to one area.

Another advantage of using spray on tans is that they dry quickly and hence result in fewer streaks on your skin. This also means you can apply the tanning product and then go out relatively quickly. Also, because you don’t have to put the tanning lotion on by hand you don’t have to worry about the palms of your hands looking over tanned!

For the best results you should visit a tanning salon because they’ll be more likely to give you a spray tan with a machine that’s even and covers all of your skin. However if you can’t afford this then it’s definitely possible to apply spray tan solution yourself. If you can ask someone else to help you then you may find the tanning process easier because you’ll be able to target the difficult to reach areas of your body such as your back and shoulder blades. Just make sure they know how much to apply to each area of the body. For us metrosexual guys who care about our appearance, male grooming is part of our everyday routine so looking good and being tan is of major importance.

Remember, if you expose yourself regularly to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds then you’re increasing your risk of getting skin cancer. If you’re sensible and don’t over-expose yourself then this shouldn’t be a problem, but it’s very easy to damage your skin and it takes less time tanning than many people realize.
For this reason using a spray on tanning method that doesn’t involved sunlight such as self tanning spray is the only safe way. While they may not be as effective as other tanning methods it’s never a good idea to risk your long term health just to get a better tan. I hope you can use these spray tan tips to better educate yourself and get a great looking tan asap.

• Apart from the clear safety benefit of getting a tan without using UV radiation another benefit of using self tanning spray is that they are much quicker. In the past, if you wanted to get an even tan you had to spend hours laying in the sun. Spray on tanning can be done in less than an hour and in most cases even quicker.

• Unlike many tanning creams spray tans performed by a professional usually produce very realistic results. You won’t have the problem of looking too “orange” if you use a spray tan service as long as the company people are trained in how to use the system and have had experience in sunless tanning spray. As long as you contact a well respected spa in your area you shouldn’t have any problems finding a competent spray tan booth.

The prices at spray tanning salons varies greatly depending on which type of tanning service you go for as well as which spa you use. However in most cases you’ll be able to get a tan for under $100 although how long this tan will last again depends on the type you buy. Make sure you know the cost and how long it’ll last before starting a spray tan treatment.

If you want to have a tan without worrying about damaging your skin then using a spray tan solution is a great way of doing so. Many of the disadvantages such as an uneven tan are no longer a problem as long as you get the tan professionally performed so there is no reason to avoid spray tanning anymore.
