What is the deal with spray on tanner?

what is the deal with the spray tanner at the tanning salons... you know, the kind you stand in %26amp; a machine gives you an even coat...





how long does it last?


how many times do you have to visit to look tan?


(if you are super pale)


when it ';fades'; do you look blotchy or weird?


is it worth the money?





please, only answer if you have actually used one of these tanning machine things....What is the deal with spray on tanner?
find a salon that does NOT have the spray on tan by machine. I work at a tanning salon and we get people that come in to us on a daily basis to fix there spray on tan. The machines can't tell if you are getting blotchy or orange. They can't make sure it is even or too thin.





The only spray tan solution we have found to work the absolute best is by 'California Tan'. So if you call around ask what brand they use.





At the salon I work at, our spray on tan is $39. Just a one time spray last 2 weeks. No one looks orange or funky. You look like you have a sun kissed bronzed tan. Even if you are pale as a marshmallow. It gradually fades away, and you look the same as before. Not spots or funky tan lines.





It is worth the money if it is done right. It is not something you want to do a whole lot. If you are looking for a year round tan, try the tanning beds.What is the deal with spray on tanner?
I've been there a couple times.





-It lasts about...meh, 4-5 months? yeah.


-once should be enough to get tan, but maybe 2-3 for pale ppl.(i'm med.tan, so i really am not sure about that.)


-nope. you just look...whiter.


-i think so. especially for those gross tan lines.
If you go for a spray tan, don't use a booth! Get it applied professionally, in my area I use http://www.tropical-sunrise.com With someone doing it you WON'T go orange and you WON'T be streaky!





The main thing is to not overdo to. Go for a light to medium tan if you are pale - it will look much more natural than a full on caribbean tan! You can always try darker next time.





It is more likely to look blotchy when fading if you have gone for a real dark tan. You should be the correct colour after ONE visit. But it is true that if you do it regularly, the colour becomes richer.





Is it worth the money? To me it is, and not only is it safer than UV beds, it works out cheaper as well.
the spray tans look really fake and there's 3 levels. 1 being the lowest and 3 being the darkest. if you do a level 3 you should already be a little dark and that tan will last about 4-6 days.if youre pale and you use a level 3 you'll end up looking really orange. no it's not worth the money because the absolute most it will last is a week and depending on where you go you could look orange which is the case most of the times. on average its about $45 for one session. i prefer real tanning beds although theyre bad for you. its cheaper and lasts longer and looks a lot better.
I have not used this machine gadgety thing, but I do have a friend who has. If you think that orange is ';in'; and ';sexy'; I say go for it. Personally, I would't want someone asking me, ';can I peel you?'; They do turn out blotchy, especially if water touches your body. It tends to look like a river of orangeness is running down your arm, or leg, or wherever the water touched. In other words, no, it is not worth the money. And if you are ';super pale,'; I really don't think many things will help to make you tanner. Embrace your paleness. You would have been quite cherished in the renaissance era, my dear.





p.s- don't tell my friend. =]
I buy my tanning solution from a supplier by the Litre. First exfoliate body. Then put sorbaline cream around dry spots like ankles, knees, elbows and neck. Using a ';sea sponge'; (this is the secret) dip it in solution and wipe over areas of body. Once finished rinse sponge then wipe over those parts again that had sorbaline on just so they wont be too dark. Put on some light clothing after 6-8hours you can shower it off. This should last about a week. Get someone to apply it for you. A bottle usually costs $85 australian so 2 applications will have paid for itself. I use Bonza Bronz. Great colour.(Machiato).
It's not worth it, you would be better off just using a self tanner at home or going to a tanning bed, because the spray on tans at a tanning salon... it makes you look so orange, not tan but orange.
