Tan – Fake Spray Tan
Why do we pick spray tan as our way for tan and tanning?
We all know now that sun exposure is harmful for the skin unless we wear a very powerful sunscreen. But with an advanced sunscreen lotion, tanning becomes almost impossible, and tanned skin is fashionable. The smart guys in the cosmetic industry have come up with an innovation for anyone who wants to enjoy the tanned glow without any risk for the skin health: fake spray tan together with a wide range of creams, lotions and gels for home use. The browning of the skin will result from a chemical reaction at the skin level, that should not be mistaken for pigmentation. The color wears off in six or eight days, with the possibility to extend the tan to ten days if a post tanning treatment is used.
Tan uniformity is the main advantage that comes with the use of a fake spray tan but not all products are top notch. As it happens with all the market sectors, there are also doutbful items sold for very low prices. We may call them tan sprays but they could be low quality and a risk for one’s health. Experts advise users to be very careful with the sunless tanning products they buy because low quality merchandise as in fake spray tan items could cause contact dermatitis and other skin problems such as allergies, irritations and excessive dryness.
Although generally safe, a fake spray tan solution could be a bad choice under certain circumstances. People who have sensitive dry skin should be very cautious with the use of sunless tanners. Maybe they don’t trigger an allergic reaction but they could aggravate the dryness of the skin. And even if many of the tanning agents are combined with moisturizers these are not always enough for dry skin hydration. Moreover, with sensitive skin the choice of the moisturizing cream or lotion as such is a challenge, hence, one can hardly rely on the fake spray tan to help.
Constant users of fake spray tan should settle for a certain beauty center or spa and follow the tanning treatment regularly on the location. Even if the tanning agents are considered to be risk free and non toxic, you should make pauses between consecutive applications. This is the best way to make sure that you preserve good skin health and enjoy a good look!
