🌞 Glow Smarter, Not Harder: The Ultimate Guide to Spray Tanning with PS Beauty
There’s something about a golden, sun-kissed glow that instantly boosts confidence — but let’s be honest, traditional tanning methods have had their drawbacks. Between harmful UV rays, dry skin, and long hours baking under the sun or in a tanning bed, it’s no wonder spray tanning has become the go-to beauty secret for brides, professionals, and glow-lovers everywhere.
At PS Beauty, we’re here to help you achieve that flawless, natural radiance safely and beautifully — no orange tones, no streaks, just pure glow. 🌟
⏳ A Glow Through the Ages: The Evolution of Spray Tanning
Spray tanning first gained popularity in the 1960s, when scientists discovered that dihydroxyacetone (DHA) — a sugar derivative — could create a temporary tan by reacting with the skin’s amino acids. Early versions were streaky and orange, but over time, advanced formulas have revolutionized the industry.
Now, we have vegan, paraben-free, and odorless formulas enriched with skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe, and vitamin E. PS Beauty’s chosen solutions are custom-blended for your undertone — because no two glows are the same.
☀️ Why Choose a Spray Tan Over a Tanning Bed?
Spray tanning has come a long way since its early days. Once known for their uneven tones and strong scents, modern formulas now use clean ingredients, hydrating components, and natural bronzers that adjust to your skin tone — giving you a believable, healthy tan without the damage.
Here’s why spray tanning wins every time:
No UV exposure: Skip the risk of premature aging, sunspots, and skin cancer.
Instant results: You’ll see color within hours — perfect for events or spontaneous getaways.
Customizable shades: Whether you want a subtle glow or deep bronze, your tan is mixed to perfection.
Even coverage: No tan lines, no missed spots — just smooth, radiant skin.
🧖♀️ Pre-Tan Prep: Setting the Stage for Your Glow
Preparation is key to getting that perfect, even tan. Follow these steps before your appointment:
Exfoliate 24 hours prior – Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin.
Shave or wax at least a day before – This allows pores to close and prevents speckling.
Avoid heavy lotions or oils – They can create a barrier and cause patchiness.
Wear loose, dark clothing – Comfort is key after your appointment!
(Tip: PS Beauty provides a pre-tan checklist to help you prepare like a pro.)
💧 Aftercare: Making That Glow Last
A spray tan can last 7–10 days with proper care. Here’s how to keep your color flawless:
Do:
Wait the recommended time before showering (usually 8–12 hours).
Use a gentle, sulfate-free body wash like Native Body Wash or Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cleanser.
Moisturize daily with non-oil-based lotions such as CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion or Bondi Sands Tan Extender Lotion.
Pat skin dry instead of rubbing.
Don’t:
Take long, hot showers or soak in hot tubs — heat and chlorine fade your tan.
Exfoliate or use loofahs until you’re ready for a fresh tan.
Use oil-heavy lotions or perfumes directly on your skin.
👗 How to Avoid Tan Transfer
Worried about your tan rubbing off on your clothes or sheets? Here’s how to prevent that:
Wear loose, dark fabrics immediately after your session.
Avoid tight bras or waistbands that can cause streaking.
Sleep in long, breathable cotton pajamas if you tan at night.
After your first rinse, transfer is minimal — so plan your wardrobe accordingly!
