Will spray tan be even if I have hair on my legs or arms?
Hair is not a problem. At the end of the tanning cycle you will notice droplets of solution on your hair, just towel this excess of the solution off with a towel provided. |
|
Why should I choose spray tanning over tanning beds?
Tanning beds use high intensity UVA light bulbs to increase the body's natural production of melanin. Melanin is the body's pigment that causes the skin to have that glowing tan. The problem with the UVA bulbs is that they deliver the UVA in a much higher dose than what is normally found by being outside in normal sunny conditions. The increased exposure to UVA can cause premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancers. |
