One of the most popular forms of sunless tanning is called spray tanning. The tans usually come out great and the entire process is safe when done properly.

Spray tanning is regarded as a safe alternative to sunbathing. The Food and Drug Administrations considers the chemical used to be safe when sprayed on human skin.

The chemical called Dihydrozyacetone essentially colorizes your skin. The process actually involves darkening your outer skin cells or the cells that are due to shed from your body.

This process tans the skin cells that are naturally scheduled for sloughing but also means the tan will be temporary. This is because the tan fades as your skin cells shed from your body.

Spray tanning is offered at tanning salons, either by a tanning therapist or by entering a spray tanning booth. You can even purchase a home spray tanning system.

There are huge differences between all three options. Professional tanning therapist give a more and even complete tan. This is because the work is done by hand. They spray your body closeup and notice uneven spots on your body.

This allows them to make your body as evenly tanned as possible. This service comes with a price though and the sessions can add up to a lot of money.

Spray tanning booths are a simple step in and step out process. The machines used to spray you also determine how good your tan will come out. These machines are however prone to miss areas of the skin.

Home spray tanning systems come in all sizes and prices. Some of them are identical to the ones used in spray tanning salons. These are also the most expensive.

Spray tanning at home has it’s pros and cons, the biggest pro of course is that you will end up saving a lot of money.

This is true for those who get regular tans. The downside of these machines is looking after them as well as using them. It’ll be a chore to reach some parts of your body by yourself.

Experience will tell you which method is best for you. I don’t think it is wise to invest in a spray tanning system before even knowing if spray tanning is something you’ll enjoy.

You have options and familiarizing yourself with all the options that are available will ultimately help you decide which spray tanning method is right for you.
