Why Spray Tanning Is The Safest Option

The party season is almost upon us, which means that everyone will be aiming to be looking at their best. For a lot of people male and female, then having a tan is an important part of this (the fake tanning business in the UK alone is worth over £100 Million).

Sunless tanning is a necessity in the UK as the winter months are too cold and lacking in weather to pick up a natural tan. Therefore, sun beds and spray tans are the norm in order to make sure everyone looks at their bronzed best.

What Is Spray Tanning?

The art of spray tanning is an increasingly popular preparation for nights out; pre-tanning for trips abroad or generally looking browner. The idea of spray tanning is to achieve a tan without exposure to the sun. Spray tanning involves using a spray gun or airbrush to apply chemicals to the skin which produces an effect aimed to be similar to that of a suntan.

Spray tanning has risen in popularity from the latter half of the 20th century onwards, as health concerns with over exposure to sun and excessive UV rays made people consider the risks to their well being and look for an alternative option. Spray tanning is a safer alternative and although though it may not last as long, running less risk of health problems like cancer is the wise choice.

Which Spray Tanning Equipment Is Right For You?

Spray tanning is something that can be done professionally in either the home of your client or in a salon. Some spray tanning equipment is better suited to a salon environment than for use by a mobile professional or even someone in the home. Therefore it is important to look into what you are buying before making a purchase of spray tan equipment.

If you are starting a spray tanning salon from scratch, and this is your first experience of buying spray tanning equipment, then a good place to start is often with a spray tanning kit. The key thing here is to ensure that you buy a kit designed for salon use and not for home use as they will be more heavy duty and upto the requirements of dealing with a lot of spraying. The Iwata Professional G6 Spray Gun tanning kit comes with a Power Jet Pro Compressor which is a good example of a kit that is perfect for a professional salon.

Should you decide that the best option, is to purchase the equipment that you need separately then you need to prepare a list of what it is that you will be needing, so as to be fully prepared. One of the things to definitely consider are some spray tan face masks to protect you and your clients from the chemicals used. A Spray Tan Mist Extractor is also a good way to handle removal of chemicals in a small space.

Other popular salon spray tanning equipment includes the spray tan cubicle which can be easily folded away or popped up when needed. The cubicle works by helping to contain any overspray of the tanning mist and will also keep your work area clean without taking up a lot of space.

When it comes to various other spray tan accessories and spares, there is a wide selection of airbrush cleaners, tanning mist extractor filters and spray gun extras available to help you maintain your spray tanning equipment and business.
