Get Your Glow On

5 Reasons to Love Spray Tanning

Do you want a sun-kissed glow without the risks that come from sun exposure? A spray tan in Wentzville at The Color Room can give you a radiant glow any time of the year without damaging your skin.

Being comfortable in your skin matters to us as much as it matters to you. Not everyone desires tanned skin, but for those who do, tan skin can make their skin appear more even-toned and enhance muscle definition. But how do you get that warm glow without exposing your skin to ultraviolet light and possibly ending up with a skin cancer diagnosis down the line?

The answer is sunless tanning. Spray tanning offers a safe and effective alternative to outdoor sunbathing and tanning beds.

At The Color Room, our exceptionally talented spray tanning artists use organic, vegan, and cruelty-free sunless tanning solutions to give you the sun-kissed look you desire for that upcoming special occasion, a beach vacation, or just because!

 

Tan Lines? We Don’t Know Them!

 

And we aren’t shy about sharing why we love spray tanning. Here are five reasons sunless tanning in Wentzville is a popular spa service:

Reason #1: Achieve a Safe and Sunless Glow

Overexposure to UV radiation can leave you feeling raw and red with a nasty sunburn. Sun exposure not only leaves your skin burned but ages the skin prematurely. You also increase your risk of developing skin cancer, including the rare but deadly melanoma, a skin cancer that causes more than 75 percent of skin cancer deaths.

Spray tanning relies on the magic of dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Made from beets and sugarcane, DHA is colorless. However, when it’s sprayed onto the skin, it immediately begins interacting with the amino acids in your skin’s top layer, resulting in a browning effect. It’s a harmless chemical reaction that gives off the appearance of naturally tanned skin.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved DHA for sunless tanning, and it’s considered a safe, nontoxic alternative to traditional tanning. You don’t have to worry about DHA penetrating deep into the skin. It stays on the top layer, and the coloring effects last between three and six days.

Reason #2: Instant and Customizable Results

A spray tan gives you immediate gratification. Gradual tanning methods, such as lying poolside for days or scheduling multiple tanning sessions, take too long to see results. When you’re in a pinch and want instant results, our spray tanning artists understand the assignment. They create a customizable tan that leaves you with that warm, sun-kissed glow.

When you choose sunless tanning in Wentzville, you should expect nothing less than customizable results. Yet, most spray tanning locations don’t offer this service. Their solutions are more one-size-fits-all, but you’re unique, and your tan should fit you perfectly.

Customizations we offer at The Color Room include:

  • Light, medium, and dark shade selections

  • Contouring, highlighting, and targeted tanning solutions

Our spray tan artists ensure an even, streak-free finish for a natural look. Fool everyone and let them think you spent days on a beach. We won’t tell!

Reason #3: Boost Your Confidence and Self-Esteem

There’s nothing wrong with pale skin. If you have pale skin and you love it, we want you to rock it. Yet, if you’re someone who wants a little color without the risks of UV radiation, a spray tan can give you a healthy glow that could boost your confidence and self-esteem.

A 2018 study by Staples and Javitz, published in the Journal of Health Psychology, found that people with tans had higher levels of self-esteem and elevated moods than those without a tan. If you’re someone who feels more confident wearing sleeveless shirts, sundresses, or being tanned for special occasions, sunless tanning can boost your self-esteem in a matter of minutes.

Reason #4: Time-Saving and Convenient

Natural sunbathing and artificial tanning in beds require time and commitment. Spray tanning offers convenience and works better for your schedule. A quick spray tan session gets you in and out within 30 minutes, and you begin to see the results right away.

The average spray tanning session leaves you with a beautiful, bronzed appearance for up to a week. Of course, each person’s experience is unique. Pre- and post-tan care maximizes spray tanning’s effectiveness and longevity.

In-spa spray tans also trump at-home methods. While you can purchase a tube of sunless tanner to lather on your body at home, chances are you’ll spend more time figuring out how to apply the solution. You’ll also likely end up with stained towels, and the chances of achieving a customized, even tan are also highly unlikely unless you have help—and even that’s iffy.

At The Color Room, our spray tan services are relaxing, fast, and convenient!

Reason #5: Enhance Your Skin’s Appearance

Spray tans create a temporary blurring effect that can enhance your skin’s appearance, especially if you have uneven skin tone, stretch marks, or cellulite. At The Color Room, we use organic, vegan spray tanning solution that includes nourishing properties. Not only does your skin appear healthy, it actually is healthier.
