But with so many questions swirling around spray tans, we're here to shed some light:

Is a Spray Tan Right for Me?

Spray tans are perfect for anyone who wants a beautiful tan without the risks of sun damage. They're ideal for:

• Fair Skin: Sunburns are a real danger for those with fair skin. Spray tans offer a safe way to achieve a healthy glow.
• Busy Bees: Don't have hours to spend baking in the sun? A spray tan gives you instant results, perfect for fitting into your busy schedule.

What to Expect During a Spray Tan

The process is quick and easy! Here's a typical spray tan session:

1. Consultation: Discuss your desired shade and any skin concerns with the technician.
2. Prep Time: Exfoliate a day before to remove dead skin cells and ensure an even tan. Arrive at your appointment with minimal makeup and moisturiser.
3. The Tanning Booth: The technician will expertly apply the tanning solution using a special spray gun.
4. Drying Time: Allow some time for the tan to dry completely before getting dressed.

Maintaining Your Spray Tan

For a longer-lasting tan:

• Moisturise daily with a lotion that's free of oils and fragrance.

• Exfoliate gently after a few days to prolong the fade and prevent patchiness.
