If you are thinking about getting your first ever spray tan, you may be feeling a little bit nervous because
your friends have told you that it looks unnatural or because you have read online that they are not worth the money. There are lots of myths about spray tans, and in this blog post, we are going to debunk them! So, let’s take a look at the spray tans misconceptions you should ignore. 

Spray tans are not worth the money

There are a lot of people that assume that spray tans are not worth the cash because they will fade quickly. Most of the people that say this have never actually had a spray tan. Also, the lifespan of your tan does depend on how you care for your skin. You need to exfoliate beforehand so that you get rid of dead skin cells. You should also avoid using a moisturiser for at least 24 hours before your treatment, as this will create a barrier and stop the product from being absorbed properly. 

It is better to get a tan the natural way

While sunlight is good for you in small doses, there are risks associated with on-going exposure to UV rays. It’s better to get a spray tan and protect your skin from lifelong damage. 

Sunless tanning looks unnatural

A lot of people are worried that they are going to leave their spray tan looking like an Oompa Loompa. Actually, it is really easy to control the intensity of your colour.
