Summer is firmly upon us, and it brings with it that small window of opportunity to hit the beach and soak up some much needed sunshine. 

If you're a pale girl, you might be thinking of investing in a spray tan in order to turn your skin from pasty white to bronzed and beautiful. Many people worry that spray tanning will leave them looking streaky and orange, but as long as you purchase high-quality fake tan for pale skin, you should have nothing to worry about. 

Here are some tips to help you get the perfect tan for summer.

Prepare your skin before your spray tan 

Before you head to the salon for your spray tan, it's important to prepare your skin. This includes shaving just as you normally would, and it can be a good idea to exfoliate your face with a scrub, so that the tan is able to absorb easily. Once you've showered, don't use any lotions or perfumes and be sure to wear loose clothing. 

Maintain your tan

Once your fake tan has been applied, don’t let your skin get wet. Don't bathe or shower (or even wash up!) and it's a good idea to avoid sweating at the gym, too; all of these activities can affect your tan. 

Use a lotion in the morning and at night after your spray session. This will prolong your tan and ensure that you maintain that gorgeous glow for as long as possible. 

Check spray tan solution reviews 

When you're ready to book a spray tan to transform your pale skin, it's a good idea to search for spray tan solution reviews. This can help you choose a reputable salon that uses only top quality tanning products that conform to SCCS standards. The best salons use Fresh Indulgence tan, which is paraben-free and made with a unique combination of botanical plant extracts, vitamin complexes and skin conditioning ingredients. 

As long as you follow these tips for getting the perfect fake tan for fair skin, there's no reason why you can't look and feel both beautiful and confident on the beach this summer.
