Making Waves in Winter. Why You Shouldn't Skip Spray Tanning.

If you’re a sun-worshipper, the thought of winter brings with it the prospect of long months without any beach time. But there’s no need to despair – you can still enjoy that bronzed look all year round with a spray tan.

A spray tan is a fantastic way to get a natural-looking tan without having to expose yourself to the harmful UV rays of the sun. It’s also a quick and easy way to achieve a uniform tan without having to spend hours in the sun.

So, if you’re looking for a way to enjoy a healthy, natural-looking tan all year round, a spray tan is the way to go!

Did I mention I am an Albertan? Yes, Kalsey Grant the lady behind one of Edmonton’s first-ever Sunless Spray Tan service providers. And for a City like ours that sees 5 months of cold weather, it's no wonder I became a sun-seeker.

I needed my tan. I wanted to maintain it all year round. Many years of this desire became hazardous to my health due to the effects of repeated UV exposure.  Learning this I’m still thinking about what I could have done differently. Absolutely nothing because I didn’t know better.

The more I dug into the tanning world I realized that we evolved quite a bit in the early 2000s. Fast forward to now and Spray Tanning is the preferred method by those who take a serious and active approach toward their health, skin, and aging. 

So, what is the big deal? Why are people spray tanning all year round? Well, it’s simple being picturesque when you can flaunt a sun-kissed glow without the damaging effects of UV.

During the winter we endure harsh conditions that require us to load up on vitamin D, serums, hydration, and lotions. But the instant gratification of a spray tan helps us look our best with minimal effort.

1. Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your glow!

Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your glow! With these easy tips, you can keep your skin looking radiant all winter long.

 - Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy complexion. Be sure to get at least eight hours of shut-eye each night.

 - Eat healthy: Eating a nutritious diet is key for keeping your skin looking its best. Fill your plate with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.

 - Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your skin hydrated and glowing. Aim to drink eight glasses of water each day.

 - Don't forget to protect your skin by applying sunscreen, even when it's cloudy outside. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

 2. In fact, with the right precautions, you can enjoy a healthy and bronzed complexion all winter long.

With the right precautions, you can enjoy a healthy and bronzed complexion all winter long. Follow these tips to help keep your skin looking its best during the colder months:

 - Use a humidifier. Dry air can sap moisture from your skin, so using a humidifier in your home or office can help keep your skin hydrated.

 - Protect your skin from the wind. Cold, windy weather can wreak havoc on your skin, so be sure to cover up when you venture outdoors. Wear a scarf or hat to protect your face, and do not forget to moisturize thoroughly after exposure to the elements.

- Exfoliate regularly. Sloughing off dead skin cells will help keep your skin looking smooth and radiant. Be sure to use a gentle exfoliator, as harsh scrubs can actually damage your skin.

 4. Bundle up! Before heading out to your appointment, make sure to layer up. This will help prevent your skin from getting too cold during the process.

Before you book your next spray tan appointment, make sure to layer up. This will help prevent your skin from getting too cold. If it's chilly outside, be sure to wear layers that you can easily remove once you're inside the spray tan booth. Long sleeves and pants are a good idea, as you don't want the cold air to hit your skin all at once. And don't forget to bring a pair of socks to put on after your spray tan!

5. Exfoliate! This is key for any time of year, but it’s especially important in the winter.

Exfoliating is important for any time of year, but it’s especially important in the winter. Exfoliating will help to remove dead skin cells that can accumulate on the skin’s surface, leaving your skin looking dull and lifeless. A good exfoliating product will also help to unclog pores and prevent breakouts.

When exfoliating, be sure to use a gentle product that is designed for your skin type. Those with sensitive skin should avoid products with harsh beads or granules. Instead, look for exfoliating products that contain gentle ingredients like fruit acids or enzymes. Be sure to use a light touch when exfoliating, as scrubbing too hard can damage the skin.
