Having a flawless tan is something that many people strive for to look and feel their best, especially during the hot summer months when shorts and tank tops are mostly worn. An easier way of achieving that perfect tan without having to sit out in the hot sun for hours is to get a spray tan. Here are some easy steps for spray tan application that you can do right in your own home.



The best way to ensure an even tan without streaks is to bathe and exfoliate the skin to make sure that there are no dead skin cells left behind. Making extra care to remove the dry skin around the areas where there tends to be more dry, rough skin such as the knee, ankle, and elbow areas. Use a shower puff or a washcloth to cleanse the skin and completely dry off your whole body before applying the spray tan solution.

You will need to read the instructions thoroughly before application of any tanning product. To be safe it is highly recommended that you test the product on a small section of your skin to eliminate any possibilities of allergic reactions. When you are sure there are no allergic reactions to the product, you can proceed with the full application.



It is strongly suggested that you use some protection for your hands while applying the tanning mixture to the rest of your body. The result of not using some form of protection like gloves, your hands will turn a orange color that is not very appealing and you will want to avoid this. After spreading the mixture to the rest of your body, even if you did wear protection you should still wash your hands.

To avoid any streaks, make sure that you use even strokes and do not apply too much product on the knee, elbow, and ankle areas. These areas tend to have rough, dry skin which is harder for the solution to absorb properly; which usually ends up looking uneven. If this does happen, you can exfoliate those areas later after the product has dried.

It is suggested that you wait to get dressed until the product has a chance to dry completely to keep from staining your clothes. Each brand is different but is mostly the length of 10 to 15 minutes. Some brands of self tanner suggests not to bathe or wash until a period of 24 hours have past for the best tanning results.

To make the tan last longer and to keep the skin hydrated, it is recommended that you apply a moisturizer to the skin after the tanning solution has fully dried. The best type of moisturizer to use would be the type that is specifically made to work with a sunless tanner. Applying the moisturizer every day for about a week will help the sunless tanner last longer and keep the skin smooth and supple.

When you decide to use a spray tan instead of spending countless hours in the sun, you will notice that you will get a more even tan and will use up less of your valuable time to achieve the look that you want. Now you can wear your shorts and tank tops with confidence because you know you have that healthy bronze glow you always wanted.
