Can I sit in the sun after getting a spray tan?
Yes, you can sit in sun after applying spray tan as spray tan does not harm your skin when it comes in contact with the sun. Spray tan does not work as suns cream or any sun protection cream. Spray tan packs are used to neutralize and balance the tanning. Spray tan pack works amazing for those who love beaches and want to avoid un-even tanning. Even some people love tan so much that they apply tan packs to tan their body. I am myself using Spray Aus tan pack. It is the best mobile spray tan pack as it gives instant natural tan with deep shades and hues that adapt your skin tone. It also vegan-friendly and PEG and Paraben free.
What is the best way to get a tan really fast?
Researchers have found that when taken for a few months, beta carotene can reduce our sensitivity to the sun’s rays. In addition, people with who consume more beta carotene in their diets have been shown to have healthier looking skin, and were even judged to be more attractive than people who had less of the antioxidant in their diet!The great thing about beta carotene is that it gives you a really nice and even golden hue to your skin. This is good news if your skin is milk bottle white, as these skin tones tend to show up fake tan streaks much more than sallow skin tones. It can also add that little bit more protection to your skin from the sun’s rays. However, a good quality sun screen is still essential!
How soon after getting a tattoo can I use fake tan?
A tattoo is an open wound. You shouldn’t put anything on it that you wouldn’t put on a regular wound, which is to say nothing but your aftercare products (soap + water, and unscented lotion once it starts peeling). You also can’t soak it or expose it to sunlight. Even after it’s healed, you need to use sunscreen on it or risk fading and blowout. You can certainly “fake tan” the rest of your body, but the area which is tattooed should not be touched with the stuff until it’s at least fully healed. Contrary to the other answer, that generally takes quite a bit longer than 2 weeks. When it’s done with the final peel, it’s healed. That’s usually 4–6 weeks for most people, and tattoo artists generally say 2–3 months to be sure (most won’t rework a previous session until this much time has passed).
If I wear SPF 45 will I still tan?

Spray tan vs. natural sun tan?
i dont trust the chemicals in fake tan, and on most people it looks horrible - like they've been tangoed! obviously if you lie on the beach for days and become sunburns like a fried sausage it's going to be very bad for you. but i dont think being in the sun for like half an hour with a good sunblock of about 10-15 is going to do anything, and it will give you a nice tanned glow... its way better than those sunbeds in salons anyway.
Am i too young to get a spray tan?
honestly you would be far better to learn to love your natural skin colour and embrace being fair, that's what i've always done, you can look really good with pale skin, and it makes you stand out from all the tanned girls. however if you really do want a tan, the please to fake it, don't listen to these people telling you to permanently harm your skin and endanger your life just to get a tan. be sensible about sun exposure. 14 seems a bit young to me to get a spray tan, but if you really want it then it's nothing permanent and if it stops you actually going out an sun tanning, then go ahead. maybe you could look at those moisturisers that tan you gradually or something like that, so it's less high maintenance and more natural and well as cheaper (sorry, i've never tanned so i don't know much about this stuff).
If you go to the tanning bed and use self-tanner will you be dark by the summer?
i worked at a tanning salon for 7 years. So i know a thing or 2 about tanning. Lets get a few things clear first. If you are following the Recommendations of the Tanning Salon you would know that it is best to tan every other day. It takes the body 24 to 36 hours for the effects of the tanning booths to have the best effect. The same is true for tanning outdoors. As for the self bronzers i know people that swear by them but it is indeed a fake tan and offers your body no resistance against the harmful UV rays. A true tan is way better for your body. If you burn at all you should wait until you are fully healed until you start tanning again. In all reality tanning in a tanning salon is way safer then tanning outdoors because you are in a controlled environment. The people that get skin cancer from tanning salons are the ones that do not follow the advice of the salon, or get addicted to sun tanning. If you use the proper lotions, dont tan more then once a day but every other day, your body will naturaly build up a great color and help you from getting skin cancer. Its the people that tan at multiple salons a day or steal tanning sessions by reseting the both beyond its recomended time they are the ones that get the cancer.
I have a tan line (not terrible). If I go outside and tan, will the tan even it's self out or will the tan line still be visible?
That depends. If you go in the tanning bed or in the sun, wear a bit of sun block on the area that's already tan so that it won't darken much, this should even it out. If it's on your shoulders, just go bare shoulders with a bit of block all over to prevent a burn and you'll even out within about 15 mins on a sunny day in direct sunlight. When you feel your skin hearing up, you may be just starting the burning so that's when you want to cover back up.Sunlight is not actually bad for you. It regulates your body clock, it gives you vitamins especially vitamin D, it heals the skin on the body (acne, some psoriasis, some rashes, some eczema, and the list goes on.) My dermatologist used to recommend 15 mins a week in the sun for acne, especially body acne. He was right. Sunlight also creates a hormone production that happens to cut the appetite and helps promote a healthy lean body, although I can't recall the name of that hormone off hand but you can look it up.Sunlight, as long as you are not baking in the sun and are only basking in it for a short time, isn't harmful. Turtles have sun lamps and basking areas in tanks just as other creatures. The sun helps them survive. Moderate or low sunlight for a human is the same. I tanned in salons long before the “safe beds” came out for close to 30 years. I was nocturnal due to my job and needed the light. I couldnt very well sleep in the sun 1 day a week, I'd have burned had I fallen in a deep sleep…the beds worked and I stayed healthy.Anyway, the other option is to use a camo. You could pick up some fake bake, apply it to the tan line areas and cover them. Fake bake lasts about a week. Jergans bronze (get the darkest one) will do well. Then apply it all over once you have fixed the tan lines. Then you'll have a nice summer tan look. If you've got a farmer's tan, just sit in the sun and cover your arms. They actually sell sleeves for that but u can cut sleeves off an old shirt and make your own. Jergans also does well for farmers tans which actually happen A LOT in Florida where I am from. Everyone has one. And everyone uses that jergans pump mousse self tan.
Tanning with Facial Hair?
If you can see skin underneath the "scruff" then you can tan it. Hair, whether it be facial or body, acts as a natural defence to UV rays, but as long as it's not too thick (you can see some skin through it), you can tan it. You might have a slightly lighter tan under ur scruff, but it would only be noticed if you shave it all off, and there are plenty of lotions for a quick fix for that. Maybe once a week or so, trim it down to a 5 oclock shadow and go for a tan. Having the facial hair should stop that part of your face from exfoliating as fast as the rest, just be careful tanning a freshly shaven face, you can burn pretty bad!
Can albino people tan?
It’s Depend on what type OCA1 , OCA2There are as many as 10 types OCA "oculocutaneous albinism,"of the most common form of the condition, known as "oculocutaneous albinism," which affects the eyes, hair, and skin. In its most severe form hair and skin remain pure white throughout life. People with a less severe form, are born with white hair and skin, which turn slightly darker as they age. Everyone with oculocutaneous experiences sensitivity to bright light. There may be other eye problems as well, including poor vision and crossed or "lazy" eyes (strabismus).OCA1 is caused by an alteration of the tyrosinase gene, and can occur in two variations. The first is OCA1a, and means that the organism cannot develop pigment at all. The hair is usually white (often translucent) and the skin very pale. Vision usually ranges from 20/200 to 20/400.The second is OCA1b, which has several subtypes itself. Some individuals with OCA1b can tan and also develop pigment in the hair.[verification needed] One subtype of OCA1b is called OCA1b TS (temperature sensitive), where the tyrosinase can only function below a certain temperature, which causes the body hair in cooler body regions to develop pigment (i.e. get darker). (An equivalent mutation produces the coat pattern in Siamese cats[citation needed].) Another variant of OCA1b, called Albinism, yellow mutant type (OMIM: 606952) is more common among the Amish than in other populations, and results in blonde hair and the eventual development of skin pigmentation during infancy, though at birth is difficult to distinguish from other types.About 1 in 40,000 people have some form of OCA1.OCA2 The most common type of albinism, is caused by mutation of the P gene. People with OCA2 generally have more pigment and better vision than those with OCA1, but cannot tan like some with OCA1b.The primarily of the OCA-2 type Albinism, indicated by Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes, Pale - but not White Skin, the ability to "Tan" and Normal Eyesight. But Albinism is a disease - A "Defect"A little pigment can develop in freckles or moles. People with OCA2 usually have fair skin, can still tan but not as pale as OCA1, and pale blonde to golden or reddish-blonde hair, and most commonly blue eyes--- yellow hair, pale skin, and blue, gray or hazel eyes.Blond hair, green eyes, etc, are due to mutated enzymes on the SLC24A5 gene.
