Summer is finally here and that means endless days of enjoying the sunshine and relaxing in the heat of the sun. If you have naturally pale skin and are aged sixty plus, then you can still achieve that healthy and sun kissed look by spray tanning at home. Below we offer some practical hints and tips on spray tanning for mature skin. 

Mature skin spray tanning - why use a spray tan?

When it comes to acquiring a healthy tan, the sunless tanning option is the safest option, especially for mature skin. As we age, the skin becomes more sensitive and is more prone to age spots and skin cancer. You are also more likely to burn. It is therefore advisable that in order to acquire that golden tan that you deserve and crave, that you go down the natural tanning solution route. This will not damage mature skin and will give you that sun kissed look. 

Prepare the skin

When it comes to healthy glow tanning, skin preparation is very important for mature skin. Skin should be waxed, or shaved, at least one day before applying the spray tan. This is because the skin will be less sensitive once you apply the spray tan. You then need to thoroughly exfoliate your skin, paying close attention to elbows and knees. This is incredibly important when it comes to mature skin as it is these areas that are usually quite dry. Preparing the skin will give a more even result. 

Spray tanning advice for home use

With so many spray tan products out there it is advisable that you try out a selection of products before you fully commit to that all over body spray. You should obtain samples of spray tan solution products as well as trying out spray tan machines for home use, which may make it easier and more convenient to spray tan while in the comfort of your own home.
