Question Question about spray tanning

I am new here, so please be nice :-)

I found this message board while browing Google for more information about spray tans . Wow, you guys seem to know A LOT about it and this is probably the best place to ask since there are so many professionals here.

I seriously would like to have a tan like Joey Lawrence (see links to pictures below). I am very light skinned. Will it be possible for me to achieve such a tan and maintain it? How often will I need to go?

The thing with spray tans ....once you've found the one that pops your cherry it's the best thing since sliced bread so all therapists will swear blind that the one they use pops things for them and all the rest are just lame ducks....in other words you really do need to get out there and experience different tanning solutions and you will find the one that suits the look your going for.

There is absolutely no reason why you cant achieve the tanned look your searching for...you will need to prep your skin before you go(exfoliate any dead skin cells from your skins surface..particular attention to knees and elbows and you will have to undertake an ongoing post tan regime of moisturiser and gentle exfoliation leading up to the next tan application.

In terms of the spray tan application cycle...well this differs from each and every individual dependant on skin condition,age,prep,post application maintenance, solution and how well the tan has been applied....a good therapist would be able to recommend a cycle that suits you specific...could be anything from 5-10 days depending on these factors.

Re: Question about spray tanning

Cool. Do you guys think that Lawrence has a spray tan ? I sometimes read so on the internet. Would be great to get a tan similar to his!

I often read about DHA percentages. Will the professionals know which one to apply?

A good spray tan therapist will be more than competent in assessing your skin type and consequential recommended a DHA concentrate %...to high a dosage could result in DHA overload with a look outcome that really you wont want.

Have a look through your local outlets..go in have a chat with them...get a feel for the one you think has your interests as a customer to heart and go for it....make sure though that before you do so the salon undertake a patch test prior to the application of the spray tan ....just to make sure you dont have any adverse reaction to the specific solution they use.

Good luck

Re: Question about spray tanning

My guess is that it is a spray tan . I say that because you can see a lighter patch on the bend of his left arm (opposite side of elbow). It's common to loose the tan there early due to sweat. I would also guess that since he lives in California, he probably has a good base tan underneath it.

Re: Question about spray tanning

thanks for throwing in your two cents anniet

well, seeing this picture (http://www.cleveland-ohio-funguide.c...awrence100.jpg) I assume that he does SOMEThing. at least it does not seem to be his natural skin tone, question now is whether I can achieve this with a spray tan . I will see if I can find a good studio around here.

Not sure about the US but here in the UK a lot of customers combine a spray tan with a UV tan...brings in good business for them and takes the best of both thus creating a good look...each application compliments the other.....we call it a spray tan cocktail here..very popular for those wanting a quick tan ,a deep and long lasting tan without over doing it on the sunbed or relying purely on a spray tan .

Re: Question about spray tanning

Yep....I agree he does have something going on.....nice color though

I have noticed that after the first one or two applications, the tan is lasting approx. 8 days (a little touch-up needed on inside of arms) the first application I do on clients only lasts around 5 days.

The only thing, thus far I have used is the Amber Sun Solution and I have found that the pH Balance Spray is a must (on most).

Re: Question about spray tanning

The last picture is definately a spray tan picture...Ah, Joey I so loved him when I was in junior high! You can achieve this color with a spray tan , but maintaining it, that is a whole other issue. I would recommend buying a sunless mist for your face, that's where the tan will fade first. Don't forget also that Joey probably has a professional make-up team!
