Spray tan or bottle tan? Which is better?

The golden glow of tanned skin became trendy in the 1920s.

During a holiday to the French Riviera, Fashion designer Coco Chanel accidentally got sunburnt. When she arrived home with a sun tan, her fans loved the new look and started to adopt it themselves.
Since then, tanning has become big business. There are plenty of tanning salons throughout towns and cities across the UK, as well as supermarket aisles full of self-tanning products and accessories.

The beauty of spray tanning or tan in a bottle is you can get all-over coverage very quickly compared to the hours you need in the sun to develop a natural tan. So if you have a holiday booked or a special occasion coming up, and you’re short on time, then you might consider buying a bottle of tan or visiting a salon for a spray tan.

Spray tan or bottle tan - which is best?

Although buying a bottle of fake tan can be marginally more convenient and gives you the freedom to apply it whenever suits you, there is quite a bit of work that goes into achieving a streak-free, consistent tan.

Lots to consider

With self-tan, preparation is the key! You need to exfoliate and dry your skin thoroughly, so the tan is at its most effective. Then, you need a good technique to ensure the tan is even. Otherwise, you’re left with the hassle of trying to remove the failed application and start all over again. Once you're done applying tan, you have to clear up!
The other tricky thing, before you can even apply tan, how do you know which tan is right for you? Which one will complement your skin tone the best? This can be particularly confusing if you’re not a regular self-tanner.

Quick and easy

Of course, with a spray tan, you don’t have to worry about any of that.

First off, make an appointment with us. You will be able to book this at a time that suits you, and you don’t have to worry about any of the set-up or preparation. We have all of the tanning equipment, and our qualifications and years of experience mean we will always match the right colour tan to complement your skin tone. We also use one of the best spray tanning brands on the market, NOUVATAN. It is created by professionals for professionals, and it contains active, organic, natural ingredients with no harmful parabens, alcohol or oils. NOUVATAN will never result in that much feared ‘tangoed’ look!

Next, the tanning gun works its magic. The well-mixed tan is sprayed over the body to create beautifully even coverage. A spray tan not only gives a much higher quality tan that lasts up to 7+ days (even longer when you use the Aftertan Oil Free Toning Moisturiser) the process is much quicker and effortless for you!

So if you're thinking of getting a tan and would like a hassle-free method that provides exceptional coverage, get in touch to book a spray tan.
