Recently New Zealand’s beauty industry has seen a significant shift towards safer and healthier options for achieving that sun-kissed glow.
Spray tanning has gained immense popularity since the early 2000s’ and at Epsom Spray Tan we’ve been the specialists on the scene since 2009 and committed to providing natural glowing tans
In contrast to traditional sunbeds, which expose the skin to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, spray tanning offers a safer and more effective alternative.
Apart from just generally looking more even, natural and easy to upkeep, here are five other reasons why spray tanning is unquestionably better than sunbeds.
Minimising Skin Damage
The most significant advantage of spray tanning over sunbeds lies in the prevention of skin damage.
Sunbeds emit UV rays, which can penetrate the skin deeply, leading to premature ageing, wrinkles, fine lines, and sunspots. Moreover, excessive UV exposure heightens the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer and the most common in New Zealand.
Spray tanning, on the other hand, involves the application of a fine mist of tanning solution to the surface of the skin, without exposing it to harmful UV rays. This not only maintains the youthful appearance of the skin but also safeguards it against the potential risks associated with sunbed use.
Even and Customisable Results
Sunbeds may leave uneven tan lines or result in patchy pigmentation due to the varying intensities of UV rays on different parts of the body. In contrast, spray tanning allows for a more precise and uniform application of the tanning solution.
At Epsom Spray Tan our trained technicians can customise the colour and intensity of the tan according to individual preferences and your underlying skin colour, ensuring a natural and flawless result.
Time-Efficient Solution
While sunbed tanning might require multiple sessions over several weeks to achieve the desired tan, spray tanning provides instant results (or overnight results in our case).
In a single session, individuals can attain their desired level of bronze, saving both time and effort. This convenience makes spray tanning an ideal choice for special events or last-minute beach vacations.
Hydration and Nourishment
One common complaint from sunbed users is the drying effect it has on the skin. Excessive UV exposure can lead to moisture loss, leaving the skin dehydrated and susceptible to irritation.
In contrast, many spray tanning solutions contain moisturising and nourishing ingredients like Argan Oil that helps retain skin moisture and enhance its overall texture.
The result is not just a stunning tan but also healthier, supple skin.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Sunbeds may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with fair, sensitive, or highly reactive skin. The potential for sunburns and skin damage can be significantly higher in individuals with these skin types.
Spray tanning, on the other hand, offers a safe alternative for all skin types, including those with eczema or psoriasis.
As the beauty industry continues to prioritise health and well-being, spray tanning will continue to emerge as a superior alternative to sunbeds.
With its ability to deliver a flawless and customised tan without exposing the skin to harmful UV rays, spray tanning provides a safe, efficient, and effective solution for achieving a radiant glow.
By choosing Epsom Spray Tan over sunbeds, you can preserve the youthful appearance of your skin, minimise the risk of skin damage and cancer, and enjoy the convenience of a quick and even tan.
So, it’s time to say goodbye to sunbeds for good, and embrace the safer and healthier option of spray tanning.
