How To Choose The Right Spray Tan

So you’ve made the wonderful decision NOT to subject your skin to tanning beds with harmful UVA and UVB rays that cause cancer and aging. Now, how do you guarantee yourself a natural-looking, safe and even spray tan that lasts?

At home lotions can look streaky, orange, inconsistent and unevenly applied. Most only last until you shower. Spray tan booths are automated machines and blast out solution and often leave you blotchy and uneven, dark in some areas and light in others, and never contoured nicely. So it is important to invest your time and money with a trained professional who sprays you by hand, contouring your body so you look the best that you can. Spray on tans that use harsh chemicals and additives can also damage your skin causing it to look weathered and old. So it is also important to choose a company whose solution is 100% all natural, containing no chemicals, alcohols or preservatives.

Lotus Skin Care Center & Medi-Spa (www.lotuslasertreatments.com) in Massapequa, NY; (516) 798-0200, are known for their amazing organic spray tans by SunFX. SunFX organic spray tans have a highly advanced, all natural formula, which combines highly purified water and natural bronzers, with the purest dihydroxyacetone available. Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA as it is more commonly known, is a 100% natural tanning agent that reacts with the amino acids in the skin to produce a rich, completely natural looking tan. SunFX uses only the purest DHA for their tanning solutions, guaranteeing the most natural looking colors and best overall results. Their solutions have no unpleasant odors, so they don’t need perfumes and other masking agents, often found in lesser brands.

SunFX Organic Spray Tans won’t turn your skin yellow or orange, has no odor and lasts up to a week. You may choose your depth of color and in 5 minutes you’ll have a beautiful, natural glow! Your spray tan will be professionally applied in a private booth by a certified SunFX technician. The technicians at Lotus Skin Care Center & Medi Spa (www.lotuslasertreatments.com) are extremely knowledgeable, well trained, and make you feel as comfortable as can be during this process. The process only takes about 5 minutes after which your skin will feel touch dry. You will immediately notice a completely natural looking tan that will continue to develop over the next 5 to 12 hours.

There are things that you yourself can do to make the most out of your beautiful organic spray tan. Before tanning, you should exfoliate your entire body well, paying particular attention to rough skin areas like knees, ankles, heels and the tops of your feet as dry areas tend to absorb tanning solution faster. It is also best to shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to receiving your spray tan. On the day of your spray tan you should avoid the use of deodorants, moisturizers, perfumes and make-up, and wear dark, loose fitting attire to put on after your tanning application as some minor rub off can occur after your spray tan.

Showering the following morning is the best option. To make your SunFX spray tan last longer, you should avoid long baths, hot spas, extended swimming sessions, and any products that are designed to exfoliate your skin. The technicians at Lotus Skin Care Center & Medi-Spa (www.lotuslasertreatments.com) advise clients to forget the loofah and body scrub altogether and just stick to soap for the week following their spray tan. Finally, remember that SunFX spray-on tanning solutions DO NOT contain a sunscreen. Please make sure you apply sunscreen every day to prevent melanoma, sunburn and aging!
