Hello, Is it safe to get tan spray? I always wanted to get tanned but I was always dicey about it. Is it safe? Should I get spray tans? Will there be any side effects? What precautions should I take while getting one?

@laurent Hello, I was also afraid before using one. It is safe. The ingredients in most spray tan formulas are FDA approved do not have any known adverse side effects. When used appropriately, spray tan solution is considered safe. Most sunless tanning sprays and lotions do not contain sunscreen and won’t protect you from exposure to UV rays when you go outdoors. You need to take the following precautions while taking spray tan.

• Use protective eyewear anytime the “mist” is going to hit your face.
• Use nose filters to keep yourself from inhaling any of the mist.
• Use lip balm on our lips.
• Use ‘protective undergarments’ to keep the mist from getting on your private areas.
• Make sure there’s ventilation wherever you‘re getting your spray tan.
  Thank You.
