Do Tanning Booths Whiten Your Teeth?

Tanning booths have become the number one way for people to keep that year round tanned look. Interestingly, during recent years, a number of alternative methods have started to become popular owing to the rise in skin cancer. One of these newer methods is called sunless tanning which can be carried out at specialist salons or at regular beauty establishments. Whilst sun tan creams and lotions have been popular for many years, the spray system seems to give a more consistent and natural looking color.

There are manufacturers now that offer spray tans that you can apply yourself. Whichever method you decide upon there are some simple but basic steps needed to ensure the best effect. Initially you need to exfoliate which will eliminate all the dead skin cells from your body. What you don’t want is for people to recognize your tan is a fake by noticing paler patches of skin where the dead skin cells have dropped from your body.

To complete this part of the preparation, the skin needs to be moist and ready to accept the tan so a good skin moisturizer will need to be applied all over. Secondly, you always want to wear gloves if you are applying the tanning agent yourself to avoid getting the dreaded orange palms which are a dead give away that your tan is fake. To avoid any other application mistakes that could give away the fact that the tan is not real, make sure those fingers, feet, elbows and knees are only given the lightest of coats as they have a habit of coming out darker. Where a spray tanning system has been used it is quite normal, once it has been applied, to use some sort of towel to wipe any excess so streaking does not occur.

Try to stay as still as possible whilst any self tanning agent dries as it might smear and cause uneven patches. The problem you will have afterwards during this drying time is what to wear because if you wear something expensive that you like, it will probably become stained and won’t come off. The best advice here is to have a change of clothing that is darker than the color of the tan as this way it will not notice. Now that you have this information it should be much easier having a fake tan without anyone knowing.
