5 Reasons you should get a spray tan

If you have never tried a spray tan then you are missing out!  I tried it with a Groupon a few years ago and thought it was amazing.  So if you have had problems in the past getting a true tan, or you want to reap the benefits of healthy skin, then here are the top 5 reasons you should get a spray tan.

1. New laws (March 2014) - Did you know new laws are banning minors from using tanning beds or limiting the use of them in several states across the United States?  I am so glad for this because I remember thinking I was invincible at a young age, and spent a lot of time cooking in a tanning bed all for a really bad tan in the end.  Five states have now completely banned the use of indoor tanning beds, and 33 states regulate the use of them.  See what the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) say about your state here.  Thankfully you can still get a spray tan safely!  If you are a minor, you just need your parent or guardian's signature on a waiver.  


2. You don't tan well, or freckle - Stubborn skin?  Freckles?  I know very well how annoying this is. Not only am I a burner, but I also get tons of freckles when I'm out in the sun.  Thankfully spray tanning does not do either of these to you.  In fact, I find that the tanning helps blend my freckles (similar to liquid foundation).  Just remember, there is no sunscreen in the tanning solution so you will still need to remember to cover up and wear your sunblock!


3. The weather does not cooperate - Well I know living in Arizona is something like 300 days of sunshine, but I also know that I don't want anything to do with 120 degrees outside unless I'm in a pool. Even in a pool, there is only so much I can take with that heat.  Spray tanning is ideal for any weather because it's done indoors.  Rain, sun, cold, is all fine for a spray tan - just be sure that you stay out of the elements in that 8 hours after tanning.  You don't want to sweat, get rained on, or go swimming within the 8 hours needed to develop your tan.  Good news though, rapid tan works if you can't wait the 8 hours.  Rapid tan only stays on your skin for 1-4 hours before rinsing.  If it's raining outside, you may want to change your tan to a mobile service so you don't end up spotty!


4. Instant gratification - Who doesn't like instant results?  A traditional UV tan takes a lot of work.  You can't go out into the sun for a couple hours and expect to have beautifully bronzed skin.  With spray tanning, you just need 15 minutes.  You will have the instant bronzer on your skin for instant results. When it's time to wash off, your skin will be left with your fully developed tan.  ChromaTan uses top quality solution that is true to color when developed correctly so you won't feel disappointed when the bronzer washes off. 


5. It's customizable - When you opt for a custom spray tanning technician you are going to get the best tan for your money.  A tanning technician can use techniques to apply light or heavy coverage as needed and also find those hard to reach or pesky areas (like your bottom).  Special care is always taken around your feet, hands, knees, and elbows.  Depending on your skin tone you will be using a solution for cool tone (pink undertones, light eyes, European or Canadian descent), warm tone (olive or brown undertones, dark eyes, Latin descent), or neutral tone (somewhere between).  Also, your base color will generally help guide the tanning tech to use a particular percent of DHA (the component that reacts with your skin to make it tanned).  

Now you know why you should get a spray tan, so why not book your appointment today?  Or gather your friends up and let's have a tanning party!
