Seasonal affective disorder is a common condition that can affect anyone. The lack of sunlight in the winter months can lead to dips in serotonin levels, which can lead to feelings of depression and hopelessness. While spray tanning isn't a medical cure for the winter blues, it can help to increase your mood and happiness.

1. De-stress with a pamper session

For an even tan that lasts, it's important to prepare your skin beforehand. Treat this tanning ritual as your personal pamper session and an excuse to treat yourself. Run a hot bath with your favourite bath bomb and don't forget to exfoliate and moisturise your entire body when you're finished washing. This relaxing time can act as a mental reset for your stressed out mind - and you'll have a beautifully bronzed body at the end of it!

2. Feel good about yourself

Pale skin is all too common in winter and the onslaught of bugs and viruses can leave you feeling down. If having bronzed skin is enough to boost your serotonin levels, then indulge in a spray tan. The tan will unleash your glow from within and maybe even give you a reason to smile.

3. Boost your confidence

A tan can give you healthy-looking skin and, in return, make you feel happier about your appearance. Such a seemingly small aspect of your beauty routine can erase self-doubt and give you the confidence to achieve your daily goals. Fake tan can make you a more sociable person and able to talk to friends and colleagues instead of wishing for the hour you can return home.

4. An excuse to get out of the house.

When the wind is blowing and the ground is blanketed in snow, it's easy to stay snuggled up under the duvet. A fresh tan can reverse this mentality and make you want to show your golden skin off to the world. Even if it's a trip to the shops or a walk to the park, your glowing skin gives you the perfect excuse to go outside and soak in some vitamin D while there is still some daylight.
