It has been the advent of safer fake tanning methods that has allowed people to enjoy that tanned look all year round. However, with more and more research coming out on the dangers of tanning and the risk of skin cancer some are now turning to alternatives to the dangerous skin damaging practice.
The quickest and fast becoming the preferred method of having a fake tan is by using a spray tanning salon service. Although there are many other methods, spray tanning seems to provide the most even and consistent tan available at the moment.
There are manufacturers now that offer spray tans that you can apply yourself. The methods of artificial tanning may differ but a guide to getting a good finish works with them all.
Exfoliation is the first step as this rids the body surface of the dead skin cells. If this isn't done, dead skin will gradually drop off leaving odd, light patches and spoil the effect. Once that stage has been carried out it is best to apply a moisturizer to your whole body.
Before applying a tan from a bottle or cream, ensure you are wearing gloves or the orange palms that will follow will give the game away. To avoid any other application mistakes that could give away the fact that the tan is not real, make sure that fingers, feet, elbows and knees are only given the lightest of coats as they have a habit of coming out darker.
When a spray tanning system is used a towel will be needed to wipe of any excess which could cause a streak. To avoid any smears, marks or cracking, you will need to relax and remain still, while the tanning agent dries.
The problem you will have afterwards during this drying time is what to wear because if you wear something expensive that you like, it will probably become stained and won't come off. 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. Armed with this information it should be easier to have a fake tan that is safe and available all year round without anyone knowing what it is you are doing.
