You can choose to have a spray tan done at a salon, or you can purchase a spray tan kit to do it yourself at home. Although spray tans will typically last for around five to seven days, there are some spray tan solutions that contain ingredients that will help to extend the life of your spray tan. It depends on how often you exfoliate and how you take care of your skin. If you are looking for a safe and effective way to get a beautiful tan this season, consider getting a spray tan.

What is a spray tan solution made of?

Spray tan solutions contain the main ingredient of DHA, which reacts with your skin’s amino acids to create a browning effect. Other ingredients include erythrulose and tyrosine, which help to speed up the DHA reaction, as well as moisturisers and fragrances. Depending on the desired shade, spray tan solutions can be customised by adding different concentrations of DHA. Solutions with a higher concentration of DHA will produce a darker tan, while lower concentrations will produce a more natural-looking result.

How to mix spray tan solutions?

Here is a quick guide on how to get a mix of your spray tan solutions for the perfect bronzed look. Start by mixing the spray tan solutions. You can choose your shades and mix the desired amount of spray tan solutions. Mix well to ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Do not shake the solution, and make sure you don’t add any water to it. Place the solution in a spray bottle and it is ready to use.

There are two key components to any spray tan solution: the base solution and the bronzing solution. The base solution is typically clear, while the bronzing solution is typically brown or green. Depending on the desired final colour, you will need to mix these solutions in different ratios. For example, if you want a light spray tan, you would use more of the base solution than the bronzing solution. Conversely, if you want a dark spray tan, you would use more of the bronzing solution than the base solution.

In general, it is best to start with a low concentration of the bronzing solution and then increase it incrementally until you achieve the desired shade. This will help to avoid any unwanted streaks or patches.
