This is my life , my spray tan gun and machine
so i get a lot questions about the tan I wear. I give myself a spray tan almost on a weekly basis , I was not gifted with the natural ability to tan (which isn't fair because my brothers got that gene ) I will list some of my favourite spray tans at the end .
THE DO'S
1.Always inform the person spraying you of any of the following : allergies/skin disorders E.G Vitiligoopen cuts or a fresh tattoo
bleached hair
are you pregnant
undergoing any laser hair removal
A big important one to note is if you Diabetic , as spray tan solutions can contain sugar canes if you happened to have an open cut and some solution entered it could upset your levels now bear in mind there's a rare chance of this happening but there's no harm in your tanner being aware of it .
2. Have an idea of what kind of shade your thinking I.E light ,medium,dark and extra dark . Solutions have different levels of DHA (dilydroxiacetone ) don't worry that's just a fancy name for a 3 carbon sugar ha ha . DHA usually appears within one hour of application and maximum results are normally between 5 - 24 hours ,so a tanner can Gage what kind of tan to use from what colour your looking to develop I always vote the darker the better !!!
3. Do shower and lightly exfoliate the day before and remove body hair and moisturise ll
4. Remove all jewellery before being sprayed
5. Bring dark loose clothing to wear afterwards and were best try avoid putting your bra back on :)
Three of my FAVES
DHA = 8.5% Medium coverage
DHA = 9 % Dark this i would say is a great naturally dark tan comes in a DHA of 13% as well l will have to give it a bash !!!
So a light tan is DHA 5-7 % which i need to get some of clearly hahahahah
THE DON'TS
1. Do not spray tan after waxing , electrolysis or sauna or if you have been sun burnt.
2 Avoid any activity ( yes you know it includes what you are thinking) which will cause excessive sweating .
3.Do not shower for at least 8 hours unless the tanner instructs you otherwise.
4.Do not rub hands dry after washing them always pat dry
5.Avoid sleeping with your hands near your face as you could transfer the tan..
* An important reminder a tanning solution react to the pigment in your skin so the exact same tan used on me and YOU would turn out completely different
90% of the time though guys there's never any issues with tan's and how they turn out so hope i didn't scare you !!!
Also some good off the shelf tanners are really good to use
