One major part of getting ready for summer fun is making sure you have a nice tan to show off to your friends. However, how you achieve that perfect glow is the subject of endless debate. Although tanning beds certainly get the job done, there are plenty of reasons to ditch the tanning bed and try spray tanning instead. Here are just a few reasons to make the leap.
Faster
One big advantage to getting a spray tan is that it's much faster than getting a tan using a tanning bed or poolside. In many cases, you can be in and out in less than 20 minutes, which is the length of just one of many sessions when using a tanning bed. This reduced time commitment leaves you with extra time to enjoy the event for which you were getting a tan in the first place.
Less Dangerous
The long-term risks of using a tanning bed cannot be overstated. Repeatedly exposing yourself to high-intensity UV rays will cause many negative side effects. These can include wrinkled skin, skin cancer, and sunspots, none of which make for a fun night on the town. In addition to avoiding UV rays while getting a tan, many spray tan products contain sunscreen to further help protect your skin from UV damage.
More Targeted
If you're looking for an even tan over your entire body, you may want to avoid the tanning bed. If you accidentally leave a small part of your body covered, you will end up with a strange-looking tan. By utilizing airbrush tanning, though, you can be assured of a beautiful and uniform tan that will make your friends jealous. Plus, if you only need a tan on certain parts of your body, you can target your spray tan to those parts so that you can spend even less time in the spray booth.
Less Permanent
Although a lasting natural tan is what many people desire, there are many cases when a short-lived tan is much more convenient. Since most spray tans last about ten days, you don't have to worry about having dark skin when you no longer want it. This lets you change your look throughout the summer by smartly scheduling when you get your spray tans.
No matter how you choose to get a tan this summer, make sure to stay true to yourself. True beauty is found when you're confident in your own skin and are taking care of your body. So while you may not need a tan to rock your summer bod, if you’re looking for that golden sheen, spray tanning is the way to go.
