Spray tanning has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. The major advantage that I would say is there is no chance of getting burnt and as far as anyone knows, no chance of getting cancer.

∙ 10y agoTanning booths use ultraviolet rays to produce a tan on your skin. These rays can be harmful to your skin. Spray tans do not use these rays and are, therefore, safer when it comes to the risk of skin cancer.

Should you get a spray tan im 16 and what will help if it looks kinda orange any lotions?
go to a tanning salon, and go in a tanning bed. you'll get vitamin d. spray tan is horrible, there is nothing to help it look less orange-y. When and if you go tanning, be sure to use a tanning lotion, as well moisturizing your body with a body lotion after tanning, before bed, and after bathing. so that your skin doesn't dry out. okay. STAY AWAY FROM SPRAY TANS!!!! Sorry but, this is INSANE! Tanning bed's are very unhealthy and if you use the spray tan's properly you will not look orange. Go to a tanning salon and use their spray booth, but be sure to apply the blocking lotion they provide to your hands and nails; and lightly to your knees, elbows and tops of your feet. Also be sure to dry off well with a towel as soon as you get out to avoid any splotting. Using a tanning bed can cause skin cancer just as easily as the sun can and you will look older much quicker. If you follow this above advice (though I highly recommend not following it) be sure to cover your face with a thick towel and use self-tanner/ bronzer later. Covering your face in a tanning bed will save you on botox and chemical peels in the future. HONESTLY, I would get a spray tan in a booth over a tanning bed. Some locations have the clear solution that doesn't rub off on your clothes & some also has a bronzing solution. The bronzing solution is more of a brown color so you don't have to worry about looking orange. But you do have to be careful to not wear nice clothes if you were to get the bronzing solution because it does rub off on your clothes. It will wash out though.

The Surprising Benefits of Tanning Beds?
Everybody is aware of the dangers of tanning beds. Just like excessive sun exposure, spending too much time in a tanning bed can lead to skin cancer and other problems. However, tanning beds do not quite deserve the bad reputation they have received. In fact, there are some surprising benefits of moderate usage of tanning beds. One of the major benefits of using a tanning bed is boosting the body’s production of vitamin D. People who spend too much time indoors can suffer from a vitamin D deficiency. This can eventually lead to osteoporosis and various types of cancer. The ultraviolet rays in tanning beds can also help improve certain skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and even acne. Getting a base tan in a tanning bed can also offer the skin natural protection from sunburn, but this does not mean additional sunscreen should not be used during long days in the sun. The benefits of tanning beds are not only physical. There are also mental and emotional benefits of tanning. Many users report feeling good after a tanning session. Tanning beds are also suggested as one way to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. This is a disorder in which people feel depression during the winter months when there is less daylight. Short periods of time under ultraviolet rays can help improve the mood of SAD patients. While reaping the benefits of tanning beds, it is very important to protect the skin. Using a sunscreen with SPF 25 or higher is recommended for those who want to minimize skin damage. Be sure to apply it liberally all over the body and face and use a sunscreen spray for the scalp as well. Eye protection is a must. Also, never spend more time in the bed than recommended by the manufacturer or salon. When used cautiously, tanning beds do provide some benefits to consumers but it is very important not to overdo it and to visit a dermatologist regularly for melanoma screening.
How do the machines in tanning salons work?
For a long time, the only way you could tan at a tanning studio was in a tanning bed, which is primarily UVA light. Research has shown tanning bed exposure to be linked to cancer. You can also get a spray tan at some tanning studios now. A spray tan is a good alternative for two reasons: less link to cancer and shorter time spent in achieving a tan. While tanning at a tanning studio is not terribly expensive, one can also save money by skipping the tanning studio altogether and purchasing over the counter tanning lotions. But beware - if applied improperly you may end up looking a bit too much like George Harrison.
