5 Tanning Methods

Knowing Spring is soon approaching and we can put the heavy sweaters and jeans away and pull out (as well as go shopping) our spring and summer clothes, it's also time to think about safely tanning. There are so many shades of the golden tan, that it has come  down to being a science to achieve the look you want and what looks best for you.


Here a 5 tanning methods for you to consider that can give you a golden soft glow that you so desire:

1. Indoor Tanning

Indoor tanning has become wildly popular over the past few decades due to it not being dependent on the sun’s availability and given it is a produced light, the health risks from using a produced light are far fewer than laying out under the sun. But beware you can still burn! Make sure that if you are fair skin and have no base line of a tan at all, that you only spend 5-12 minutes for the first couple of times and use tanning lotion that is designed for a tanning bed. Tanning salons should have ample products for you to choose from and they should be able to advise you to which product will protect your skin while start to give a base of a tan safely. You can also ask how recently they just changed the bulbs and take that into consideration.

2. Outdoor Tanning   

Whether you're getting your tan from laying out, going to the beach, pool, boating, or what ever opportunity gives you that fun time in the sun, it's crucial that you be very careful! There is so much documented research on the affects of the sun and our skin that we don't want to go out thinking nothing can do us harm, when 5-10 or even 20 years down the road, you kick yourself for not taking advantage of using products that could have saved your skin. So whether indoors or outdoor tanning it's best to do it all in moderation and with proper sun screen with the best tanning lotion that will allow a good natural tan to occur. Remember, do not try to get your tan for an event or trip in one or 2 exposure times. Sunburn and skin peeling is not a good thing and could possibly lead to health risks. Plan it out and give yourself enough time to do it right. Remember you only have one body of  skin and can't go an replace it if it' doesn't suit you! No pun intended!


Some good beach tanning tips are to take a quick dip in the water prior to tanning. The moisture from the water will help expedite the sun’s rays which will save you time in achieving your perfect tan. In addition, the water itself will reflect the sun’s rays which also will expedite the tanning process, so you will want to keep that in mind as well as to not over tan.
  

3. Airbrush Tanning 

Airbrush tanning has become a hot trend and popular in the beauty industry due to the fact that it is the fastest way to a perfect tan. A Customized Airbrush Tan can cost anywhere from 30.00 and up. This type of tanning is spespecifically designed to your goals and choosing the best color formula. Bottom line is that you will get the most realistic tan possible. You can usually purchase packages that will help bring down the initial cost and gives you the opportunity to go back when the first time starts to fade.   
  
This technique of tanning is great because there is no  risk of extended exposure that tanning beds and or outdoor light can have. This is simply a light tone being airbrushed onto your body and giving you the tanned appearance you are wanting. This method is especially great during the colder months of the year when outdoor tanning may not be an option.


4. Spray Tanning Booth

This is not a spray tanning booth! The difference between a spray tanning booth and an
airbrush tan is simple.  The airbrush tan is done by hand while the spray booth is done automatically. 

5. Bronzing Lotion
 Bronzing Lotion is a lightweight, non-oily formula that promotes a natural, golden tan for your body without sun exposure. Choose your desired shade by building your color gradually without streaks and discoloration on knees, elbows and knuckles. This is very popular and quick to use and provides your skin with a natural glow while you moisturize and hydrate with the right type of ingredients.
