Many people use tanning booths for years in order to maintain a year round all over tan. However, with more and more research coming out on the dangers and the risk of skin cancer, some are now turning to alternatives to the dangerous skin damaging practice. Of course it was only a matter of time before the spray tanning system became popular owing to how quick it is. There are creams and lotions called bronzers that will give you an artificial tan as well, but the spray tan seems to give better results with less streaking.
Just to provide an even more convenient service, manufacturers have introduced spray tanning equipment that can be used in the home. The methods of artificially creating this effect may differ but a guide to getting a good finish works with them all. Cleaning the dead skin off your body is the most important step using a proprietary exfoliation scrub which can be bought from any drugstore. What you don\'t want is for people to recognize your tan is a fake by noticing paler patches of skin where the dead skin cells have dropped from your body.
Once this process is complete, it is advisable to prepare your skin further by applying a moisturizing cream (or lotion) to it which will make the agent easier to apply. Before applying a tanning agent, whether bottle or cream, ensure you are wearing gloves or the orange palms that will follow will give the game away. Also, apply lighter coats on the joints of your fingers, your knees, and your elbows as these areas will appear darker if you do not and the same applies to your feet. When a spray tanning system is used a towel will be needed to wipe off any excess which could cause a streak.
It is also advisable to remain as motionless as possible whilst the self tanning agent dries; this shouldn\'t take too long but it will improve the effect. Consider what you are going to wear once you have applied the fake tan as it tends to stain objects, in particular clothing. The best advice here is to have a change of clothing that is darker than the color of the tan as this way it will not notice. Now that you have this information it should be much easier having a fake tan without anyone knowing.
