Every summer we all want to have a beautiful, golden tan; but recently we have been told that soaking up natural sun is bad for our skin. Harmful UV rays can cause premature aging and worse, skin cancer. A spray tan booth is one way to safely have that healthy summer glow.

I am sure we have all heard of, if not tried the sunless tanners available at any drug store; and I am sure you are aware of how well they work. They are not easily applied, streak and have an unpleasant smell. Going to a spray tanning booth will give you a beautiful tan without the hassle of self-tanners.

Many celebrities use spray tanning to maintain their California tans year round without risking skin damage. Spray tanning uses a chemical known as DHA (Dihyroxyactone) that creates a chemical reaction on the skin. This reaction gives you skin the golden brown color by creating the pigment melanin.

Many people are under the impression that spray tans dye the skin; this is a misconception. The chemical reaction is what causes the skin to appear tan; however, most spray tans have a bronzer in them that gives you immediate results. This bronzer is also used to make sure the spray tan is evenly applied to the body; spots that have been missed are easily spotted.

The spray tan booth itself looks like a shower stall. There is a private dressing room attached to the booth; once inside the dressing room, your clothes are removed and you hair is covered by a surgical cap. You will be provided with a lotion to apply to your hands, feet, fingernails and toenails to prevent discoloration. You are now ready to tan; just step into the booth, stand with your arms out and legs apart and press the button.

You will then be sprayed from head to toe by a cool mist that lasts about 14 seconds. The spray then stops, giving you just enough time to open the door and take a deep breath. You will then be sprayed with a second coat lasting about 11 seconds. Most people find the experience pleasant; just remember to keep your eyes and mouth closed.

Voila, you now have a beautiful tan. Your beautiful healthy glow will last about four to seven days, and you can rest assured that your tan is safe and healthy. A spray tan booth is certainly an option you should consider.
