Not Quite Bikini Season – But It’s Still Spray Tan Time!

Spray tans are the perfect way to get that all-over healthy glow without worrying about the health risks associated with dangerous tanning beds and the sun’s rays. However, not all spray tans are created equal, and getting that perfect look with an at-home spray tan kit can be difficult. How do you get the correct shade? What about streaks, dark patches, and missed areas? And no one wants to look as orange as a carrot – that look doesn’t fool anyone.

Problems with At-Home Tanning

If you’ve tried at-home self-tanners, you probably already know that they aren’t the best way to achieve an attractive golden glow. Instead, you’re more likely to get orange streaks than a hot tan. Some pitfalls of using self-tanners:

Application

Even if you have a friend to help you, it can be hard to achieve that flawless look that every spray tan user strives for. The product’s spray may not be even. If your finger slips, it could create a blotch of tanner just where you don’t want it.

At Salon Helena, we use Infinity® Spray Tan technology, which atomizes all-natural treatment lotions into a fine mist for a flawless, natural-looking tan every time. We also have a drying booth for all-over even tanning – no streaks or lines!

Allergies and Chemicals

Many spray tans that you can buy for at-home use employ harsh chemicals as ingredients or propellants. These chemicals can produce side effects such as skin irritation, breakouts, and even allergic reactions.

The Infinity® Spray Tan technology uses only all-natural botanical-derived solutions packed with antioxidants, so instead of causing damage to your skin, your tan will only make it healthier.

Other Problems

Some sunless tanners use chemicals that react to other elements. Lotions may affect how the effectiveness of the application, and sweat or dry spots can make your application spotty. Some at-home tanners may stain your hands even if you use soap, while facial cleansers may wash it all off.

Your best bet is to let the skillful staff at Salon Helena and Infinity® Spray Tan technology give you that natural-looking glow to your skin that the cold and dry Southwest winter has probably left you without.  Schedule an appointment by calling Salon Helena at 505-884-4955 today!
