Things You'll Need:
- Cloth headband, towel, or shower cap
- Spray on Tanning
- Friend to assist
-
Step 1
Prepare for spray on tanning a day in advance. Shower with mild soap, exfoliate your skin and shave the day before you plan to use spray on tanning. Also avoid any lotions, perfumes or other skin products as they could prevent your spray on tanning from absorbing into the skin.
-
Step 2
Wear an old bra and panties, or old bikini for spray on tanning, if you want to cover up. Spray on tanning will ruin your clothing. Also, wrap your hear or wear a shower cap, because spray on tanning can affect the color of your hair.
-
Step 3
Stand outside in a well ventilated area. Spray on tanning will stain carpets and furniture, so it's best to use it outside. Have your friend begin using the spray on tanning on your arms, legs and torso in long, even strokes from a distance of about 6-8 inches. Don't apply the spray on tanning to your face, knees or elbows yet.
-
Step 4
Spray some spray on tanning into your palm and rub it into your face, blending it well. Wash your hands immediately to prevent staining. Then apply spray on tanning to your kneed and elbows using stroked from a distance of 10 or more inches to apply less product to your knees and elbows. This keeps you from having dark spots.
-
Step 5
Let your spray on tanning set into your skin for at least one day. This means no showering, swimming, toweling or tight clothing. You need to give the spray on tanning enough time to soak into your skin, or you run the risk of washing or rubbing it off.
