Spray tan- Not all spray tans are alike. Make sure when you are booking them you look at the reviews and ask if it's a machine or if a technician will be applying it. You see many specials for tan's and in my opinion you get what you pay for! If you are looking at getting an all natural tan make sure you ask when you are booking if the tan is free of chemicals.
For best results make sure you exfoliate your body and add a light layer of lotion if you have any dry patches on your skin.
