Despite the fact that spray tanning has become more popular than ever, several myths still abound. Unfortunately, these myths can keep people from ever experiencing spray tans. Read on to learn about the most pernicious inaccuracies about this fun, beneficial procedure.

Spray Tans Look Unnatural

The most common misconception about a spray tan comes from the color. If you receive your spray tan from a reputable source like Cancun Tan, you do not need to worry about an unnatural orange color. In fact, you control the intensity of the color yourself. When in doubt, always stick to lighter shades for an ideal glow.

Spray Tans Fade Quickly

This rumor only becomes true if you completely fail to care for your tan. Proper exfoliation before, combined with the application of moisturizers afterward, will more than double the life of your tan.

Spray Tans Get Messy

Many people believe that a spray tan is a sticky, runny mess. When received from professional source, however, spray tans completely dry within minutes. They also get airbrushed directly onto the skin at high-speeds, which prevents run-off.

Spray Tans Are Dangerous

The only things dangerous about a spray tan are the myths associated with them. A spray tan uses the same chemicals as any self-tanner, and hold no greater danger. The only way to become endangered from a spray tan is to swallow a large quantity.

Whether you have heard of red light therapy or have no idea what it is, there’s a good chance it offers benefits for you. Used to treat chronic pain, various skin problems, fine lines and wrinkles, and more, it is a completely natural and safe treatment. A few of the benefits of red light therapy include:

Expedites Healing

Red or infrared light therapy works by exposing the skin to infrared light, a completely safe and painless process. The particular wavelengths promote collagen and ATP production in your cells, which helps expedite healing. This can help reduce blemishes, fade scars, and even works on skin affected by acne and rosacea. If you want a natural, chemical- and drug-free treatment, light therapy might be right for you!

Improves Skin

Because of the increased collagen and cell rejuvenation, your skin will start to look younger and smoother. One of the most loved benefits of red light therapy is its anti-aging effects. The treatment can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and redness, and can add moisture and glow to your skin. Plus, it is suitable for any and all skin types and ages.

Relieves Chronic Pain

Another major advantage to light therapy is its natural pain relief. If you suffer from arthritis, have a broken bone, or other wounds, red light therapy can help reduce pain and advance healing. Not just for your face, red light therapy can be used on knees, shoulders, joints, and more. You should always consult a doctor before beginning any treatment.

Whether it’s your first time going to a tanning salon or you’ve been countless times, indoor tanning lotions can be confusing. There are many different brands, types, and ingredients, and each affects your skin differently. Here’s a few quick tips for understanding indoor tanning lotions.

What Are They?

It’s important to note that indoor tanning lotions are not the same as sunscreens, outdoor tanning oils, or self-tanning solutions. Instead, they are specially crafted formulas designed specifically for use in a tanning bed. Some include bronzer while others do not. However, all indoor tanning lotions are helpful in moisturizing your skin and keeping you smelling fresh after your tanning session. We recommend using an indoor tanning lotion during your session to maximize your tan.

Bronzers, Accelerators, and Maximizers…Oh My!

There are many different types of indoor tanning lotions, including bronzers, accelerators, and tingling lotions. Bronzers impart immediate color that continues to develop, and are available in light to extremely dark shades. Accelerators and maximizers typically don’t contain bronzer; instead, they help you develop a long-lasting base tan. These products are usually very moisturizing and are great for beginners. You can also find tingling or cooling lotions that give your skin a fun sensation during your tanning session.

What’s in Them?

Depending on the type of lotion you choose, the ingredients can a include a wide variety of moisturizers, fragrances, vitamins, and more. Some include caffeine, aloe, shimmer, vitamin E, and other great ingredients. If your skin is sensitive, be sure to try a test spot before covering your whole body in any indoor tanning lotion.
