Even if you were traveling to a sunny destination this winter, spray tans are a great idea. They are safe, easy and quick. Spraying on a tan will help you avoid health risks while giving you an even tan without tan lines.

The best reason to get a spray tan is to save your skin and possibly your life. Yes, that’s right! Spray tanning is UV-free. So, you’re not going to prematurely age or damage your skin from a spray tan. Tanning outside (or worse: in a tanning bed) often causes wrinkles and dries skin out. Additionally, you’re not going to have to worry as much about future issues with skin cancer from a spray tan. Instead of searching your body for suspicious moles, you can look at your glowing skin and know that it is safe and healthy.

Spray tanning is great way to tan your entire body. When you tan outside, chances are that you miss certain areas and will leave tan lines. Additionally, it’s hard to make sure the tan is the same (i.e. if you move, certain pieces of your body will be more tan than others).  A spray tan will ensure you are not only nice and tan, but it will ensure that you are completely tan and without pesky tan lines! You can have everything from your feet to your shoulders, to hard-to-tan places like your wrists sprayed. This will make you look even better in your clothes.

With a spray tan, you won’t have to worry about burning. In general, spraying gives you more control over the kind of tan you receive. You can go for a dark brown or you can look for a light bronze color. You’ll look great without having to worry about falling asleep or being in a great deal of pain. Nobody looks good when they’re bright red or orange after a day in the sun.  Spray tanning keeps your skin safe and your skin color away from radioactive shades of sunburn.

Spray tan - the healthy option for indoor tanning

SUN IS THE #1 CAUSE OF AGING No matter how much you love it, the sun does not love you back. According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, 90 percent of all premature aging and skin cancers are caused by sun exposure. Wearing an SPF 15 or higher every day is the single best skincare product you can use on your skin. SPF is proven to be the most effective way to fight aging.
The tanning industry has mounted an aggressive campaign aimed at minimizing the dangers of tanning beds—maintaining that indoor tanning is actually healthy. This is simply not true. According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, tanning is caused by the brown pigment melanin. Upon sun exposure, it is produced and distributed in the top layers of the skin. This pigment minimally protects the skin against further UV damage. But, the important point is that UVinduced DNA damage must have happened to create the tan in the first place. In fact, a recent study directly linked tanning device use to basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the most common skin cancers.
Now that you’re sufficiently warned, here’s what you can do to protect yourself. Proper sun protection on a daily basis is vital in the fight against aging and skin cancer. Use an SPF 15 or higher year-round. To maintain its protection level, sunscreen must be reapplied every two hours regardless of its SPF. In addition to wearing an SPF, you should practice other sun-safe behavior, like seeking shade between 10 AM and 4 PM and covering up with clothing, including UVblocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
