Spray tanning is one of today’s hottest beauty trends, but there are still lots of misconceptions out there about spray tanning that make some people feel apprehensive about using spray tans. To help you decide if it's right for you, it's important to have the correct information. So, here are the top three spray tanning myths you should ignore! 


1) Spray tans look unnatural

One of the biggest reasons why people are afraid to spray tan is the fear of going orange, but the reality is, controlling how light or dark you want to go is easy. High-quality tanning products are developed with specific colour guards that actually work with the unique shades of each individual skin tone to develop a fabulous tan that is both natural and healthy! If it's your first time, then start light. You can always go darker with extra spray tanning at home. 

2) Spray tans are dangerous

Spray tans are not toxic. The only way a spray tan can potentially harm you is if you swallow a large amount during the application. To minimise this risk, you should cover your mouth, nose and eyes whilst tanning. If you have sensitive skin, depending on the brand, you may experience a rash. Try a specific tan solution for sensitive skin to help lessen this risk.

3) Spray tans are not worth the money because they fade fast

How long your spray tan will last is directly related to your skin care routine, and the effort you put in on application and maintenance. Always exfoliate well before spray tanning and use moisturiser on a regular basis before and after your tanning session. This can easily extend the lifespan of your spray tan.
