- instant result;
- painlessness;
- security;
- the effect lasts longer.
Thanks to all of the above advantages, an instant tan is gaining popularity rapidly . Moscow contains a lot of special salons, where professionals perform their work efficiently, and customers are always satisfied.

Despite the type of skin, its color and thinness, no burns or other unpleasant traces remain after the procedure.
Instant Tanning Lotions
Before sunbathing, as a rule, a special lotion is applied to the body. Thanks to this procedure, the subsequent tan will lie smoother and much faster, and the time spent in a sunny place will be reduced.
Instant tanning lotions consist of moisturizing natural ingredients, and they also have vitamin E that can penetrate the skin and nourish it. Natural components quickly moisturize the skin, saturating it with useful trace elements and slowing down the aging process.
These lotions also contain sugar cane extracts. Getting on the skin, it interacts with amino acids, after which a tan appears. The extract does not penetrate the blood or deeper tissues, but acts only on the surface of the skin.
Such lotions are hypoallergenic, therefore, have no contraindications and are suitable for all skin types.
Before a trip to the sea
Not so long ago, an instant tan became a new trend before a trip to the sea. How much does he hold in that case, and whether it is possible to sunbathe with him at all - the most common questions.
Initially, such an innovation was used by celebrities, and then their fans also picked it up. After all, few people want to look pale and tired man among those who have long basked under the rays of the warm sun and have an ideal tan.
Before you find out if you can sunbathe with an instant tan, you should understand if such a procedure is needed before going on vacation. As you know, a natural tan correctly falls far from every skin type. Often people have to wait for a tanned effect for 4-5 days, and as soon as the goal is reached, and a beautiful tanned body can be shown to others, it is time to pack your bags and return home without colorful pictures from the sea. It is in such cases that people are inclined to instant tan so as not to spoil their vacation and bring home good memories.
Now we should deal with the question of whether it is possible to sunbathe with an instant tan. In fact, many experts argue that it is possible to make an artificial tan before a trip to the sea, but it is necessary to use only professional products that are definitely available in any specialized salon. High-quality lotions that give the skin a darker shade do not block the sun's rays, so you can relax and the instant tan (before and after in the photo below) will gradually turn into natural.
Smart body
Instant tanning, before and after which a person experiences completely different sensations and emotions, always adorns the body. Some people even claim that it will visually remove a little excess weight. Thanks to this, there is an incentive to get an instant tan. Moscow, as mentioned above, is full of specialized salons, including:
- "Infinity" (Chistova street, 16).
- "Lilami" (street Yuzhnobutovskaya, 61).
- "Freckle" (Upper Radishchevskaya street, 9).
Each of these places has many positive reviews, as customers always leave them happy and moderately tanned.
How is the procedure
There is no special technology for applying the product on the skin, so the procedure can be performed both in the salon and at home. On a clean skin, a special coloring agent is evenly distributed with a spray. This procedure is carried out in separate booths so that the product does not fly into a large room.
Within 6-8 hours after this manipulation, it is strictly forbidden to use a washcloth and take a shower. It is for this reason that instant tanning, the price of which varies from 500 to 2000 rubles, is usually assigned to the morning hours. During this period of time, the skin has time to absorb all the necessary coloring particles as much as possible, and therefore, the effect will be delayed for a long time.
8 hours after the procedure, you can already take a shower. It should be noted that the epidermis absorbs only 85% of the product, therefore, colored water will drain during water procedures. You should not be afraid of this, since the shade itself will not disappear.
There is another option for acquiring instant tanning - the use of lotion. It must be applied with special equipment that also uniformly sprays the components on the skin. To purchase such a tool is best in professional stores.
What to do before visiting the salon
A day before visiting the salon or conducting the procedure yourself at home, you must carefully prepare for instant tanning. Within 24 hours it is forbidden to use body creams, perfumes and all kinds of moisturizers.
In order for the dye to be absorbed as much as possible, experts recommend laser peeling right before the main procedure. Thanks to this, the tan will lie more evenly, and not absorbed funds will remain less.
Instant tan: how much is held and what effect gives
The time during which the tan will be held depends on the type of skin, its preparedness, quantity and density of a special substance. As a rule, the shade does not go away within a couple of weeks.
In order for the effect to remain as long as possible, the following recommendations should be followed:
- do not wash under hot water;
- Do not use too aggressive detergents;
- try not to sweat too much;
- Do not wear warm clothing.
How to get rid of tanning
Often there are situations when the client does not like the result, because not tanned skin looked much better. Fortunately, the tanning effect can be removed right in the cabin immediately after the procedure. For this, a special lotion is also useful, which is rubbed into the skin, and then the body needs to be soaped and sent to the shower.
How to keep the hue
When you know what an instant tan is, how much it lasts and why it is needed, you can figure out how to save it for a long time. First of all, it is worth saying that in the cold season you do not need to wear too warm elements of clothing, because excessive sweating contributes to the disappearance of a dark color from the skin.
In addition, a tan made in this way does not tolerate a sauna, peelings and other similar procedures. Owners of instant tanning will have to postpone such procedures for some time, otherwise for more than two weeks a beautiful dark shade will not last.
In the cold season, the tan is better kept, as sweating is reduced. Therefore, most masters and already experienced customers recommend doing this procedure in the winter.
Health hazard
The instant tanning procedure is almost safe. It is worth saying that doctors are allowed to do it even for pregnant women, since neither the mother nor her fetus will be harmed.
Only the presence of freckles or a large number of acne can negatively affect a tan. Although there are no absolute contraindications in this case. If the client himself doubts the safety of the procedure specifically for his skin, then you should consult a dermatologist before carrying it out.
Rather rarely, the components of the main agent cause allergic reactions. Today, many manufacturers produce lotions, which do not have any negative effect. In addition, even if a person has ever suffered from a skin allergy, a special remedy designed specifically for sensitive skin can be used for him.
Real reviews
Of course, an artificial tan can not be better than natural, but still reviews about instant tanning in the cabin are quite good. With the observance of all the rules provided above, people get a great effect that lasts quite a long time.
As a rule, first of all, customers express their enthusiastic opinions about the fact that instant tan leaves no traces on clothes after soaking. In addition, the product that stains the skin does not give it any unpleasant odor, even if it itself has a slightly specific or unusual odor for an ordinary person.
