Hey, glow getters! Let’s talk spray tans. I know, I know—there are a ton of myths floating around about them. But fear not! I’m here to clear the air and set the record straight. At SHINE Tanning Solutions, we’re all about giving you that fabulous, sun-kissed glow without any of the fuss. So, let’s dive in and debunk some of the most common spray tan myths. Ready? Let’s go!


Myth 1: Spray Tans Look Orange


Alright, let’s tackle this one head-on. The idea that spray tans leave you looking like an Oompa Loompa is so outdated. Back in the day, sure, products weren’t as advanced. But now? We’ve come a long way, baby!


Fact: Modern spray tans are all about that natural, sun-kissed look. Our SHINE solutions are specially formulated with a violet base to counteract any orange hues. So, you get a gorgeous, golden glow that looks like you just got back from a tropical getaway.


Pro Tip: Always choose a reputable salon and high-quality products. At SHINE, we customize each tan to match your skin tone perfectly. No orange here!


Myth 2: Spray Tans Are Bad for Your Skin


Worried that spray tans will wreak havoc on your skin? Let’s put that myth to rest right now. With the right products, spray tanning can be a safe and fabulous way to get that glow.


Fact: At SHINE, we use organic, cruelty-free tanning solutions that are gentle on your skin. Our products are free from nasty chemicals like parabens and sulfates. Plus, they’re packed with skin-loving ingredients that nourish and hydrate your skin.


Pro Tip: Always check the ingredients of your tanning products. Look for organic, natural components to keep your skin happy and healthy.


Myth 3: Spray Tans Don’t Last Long


Think spray tans fade too quickly? Think again! With a little TLC, your tan can last and look fab for days.


Fact: With proper prep and aftercare, a spray tan can last up to 7-10 days. Exfoliating before your appointment and moisturizing regularly after your tan helps maintain its evenness and longevity. Our SHINE Extend Lotion is perfect for keeping that glow going strong.


Pro Tip: Avoid long baths and harsh scrubs to prolong your tan. Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it with a towel.


Myth 4: Spray Tans Are Only for Women


Who says spray tans are just for the ladies? Men, this one’s for you, too! Spray tanning is all about looking and feeling your best, no matter your gender.


Fact: Spray tans are for everyone. Many men opt for spray tans to enhance their appearance for special events or to maintain a healthy glow year-round. At SHINE, we welcome all clients and tailor our services to meet your unique needs.


Pro Tip: Men, don’t be shy! A spray tan can boost your confidence and keep you looking sharp, whether for a beach vacation, a bodybuilding competition, or just everyday fabulousness.


Myth 5: Spray Tans Smell Bad


Let’s bust this myth wide open. If you think spray tans leave you smelling funky, it’s time to meet the new generation of tanning products.


Fact: Modern spray tans, like those we use at SHINE, have a pleasant, subtle fragrance. Our products are formulated with natural ingredients that smell great and leave you feeling fresh.


Pro Tip: If you’re concerned about the smell, opt for fragrance-free or lightly scented products. SHINE’s organic solutions offer a refreshing scent that won’t overwhelm your senses.


Myth 6: Spray Tans Are Expensive


Think spray tans are a luxury you can’t afford? Think again! Spray tanning can be an affordable way to get that beautiful glow.


Fact: At SHINE, we offer a range of spray tanning options to fit different budgets. Whether you’re looking for a quick touch-up or a full-body tan, we have services that are both affordable and high-quality.


Pro Tip: Consider packages or membership options to save on regular tanning sessions. At SHINE, we provide various deals and discounts to make our services accessible to everyone.


Myth 7: Spray Tans Cause Skin Problems


Worried that a spray tan might break you out or cause other skin issues? Let’s clear this one up.


Fact: Spray tans do not cause acne or clog pores when using high-quality, non-comedogenic products. In fact, the ingredients in our SHINE tanning solutions are designed to be gentle and safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.


Pro Tip: If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test before your full tan. This can help ensure you won’t have any adverse reactions.


Myth 8: Spray Tans Require Too Much Maintenance


Think keeping up a spray tan is too much work? It’s easier than you think!


Fact: Maintaining a spray tan is easy with proper care. Regular moisturizing and gentle exfoliation are key. Our SHINE Extend Lotion and SHINE Exfoliating Mitt make it effortless to keep your tan looking fresh and even.


Pro Tip: Use a gradual tanning lotion to keep your tan looking its best between sessions. This can help you maintain a consistent color and reduce the need for frequent touch-ups.
