The prospect of spray tanning can actually be rather exciting. Due to this, many people can be in such a rush to get going that they forget to do some essential things beforehand – even if it’s not their first time giving themselves a sun-kissed skin tone! Don’t worry, preparation time is still minor and there’s very little to stand in the way of a beautiful bronze complexion. With this in mind, let’s look at three quick things people can often forget to do before applying the spray tanning solution.

Adjust your hair

Your hair should be fully tied back before you spray tan. Most people just presume that this is to ensure there are no white patches, perhaps on your ears or on the back of your neck. This – to a degree – could happen. More importantly, though, your hair should be tied back to ensure that it doesn’t come into contact with the spray tanning solution and end up being discoloured.

Take off your jewellery 

Jewellery should be removed and stored somewhere safe while you are applying the spray tanning solution. This doesn’t just mean necklaces and bracelets, but even rings if you want to avoid any pesky white patches. Of course, one of the best things about spray tanning at home is that there’s no reason for these personal belongings to leave your eye line while you’re tanning and you can just pop your jewellery back on when you’re finished.

Remove your make-up

It’s time to whip out your make-up wipes. This is because make-up – including the likes of foundation and concealer – can act as a barrier for many of the tanning agents found in your spray tanning solution. Ultimately, your colour might not take in the way you desire if you’re still wearing make-up. Don’t worry, you can always re-apply your make-up once you’re finished (though most women find a spray tan reduces their need for it).

Now you’re set!

You should be on to a winner if you remember to do these quick things before applying the natural tanning solution. In the meantime, don’t delay in checking out the fabulous range of paraben-free products available at My Tan London.
