Beach season is almost upon us once again which means it's the perfect time to indulge in a spray tan before some holiday fun! But perhaps you've heard some of the common myths surrounding spray tanning and it's made you hesitant as to whether it's for you. To help put your mind at ease, we've taken on the most common spray tanning myths and debunked them. 

1. Spray tans are dangerous

The ingredients of spray tanning solution are no different than the same active chemicals which are used in other tanning products, so there is no reason they would be toxic to your body. The only way a spray tan could potentially cause you harm is if you accidentally swallowed the product during application, or got it in your eyes. To avoid the risk of this happening you simply need to cover your mouth, eyes and nose during application. Remember if you suffer from sensitive skin, you should try a spray tan solution for sensitive skin to minimise the risk of developing a rash. 

2. Spray tans are not worth the money since they fade fast

The lifespan of your spray tan will depend on your preparation and your aftercare. You need to exfoliate well before your spray tan and if you use moisturisers regularly, then you can easily extend the amount of time your spray tan will last.

3. Spray tans look 'fake' and 'unnatural'

Many people stay away from spray tanning because of a fear they will look like an "Oompa Loompa" from Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. This can easily be avoided since you control how light or dark you want to go. If you are unsure of your perfect colour match, then start light and work your way up, or you could do a test somewhere on your body to see if you like the colour before you commit to full coverage. Remember that high-quality tanning products are developed with specific colour guards. This means that they work with the shades of your skin tones to develop a tan that is not only natural but beautiful too!
