These people might need a reason or a friend that is a regular client todrive them to give spray tanning a try, but we’re confident they’ll be hookedby the instant and gorgeous results achieved with today’s sunless tanningsolutions and techniques.

Sunless tanning can help spray away thepre-date jitters, giving people the confidence in their appearance to make agreat first impression.
4.Homecoming, Proms, Graduation, Reunions, orother School-Related Events
School events provide the perfect opportunity to bringpeople in for their first spray tan. A great spray tan is the best complementto ornate gowns and elaborate hairstyles, because of the subtle way it helps totie a formal outfit together. Typically milestones within peoples’ lives, therewill also be plenty of photographs to commemorate these special occasions.Looking their best will allow people to remember these milestones more fondly.
5.Healthier
Probably one of the best and most convincing reasons forpeople to give spray-tanning a try, sunless tanning is 100% UV-free. People wholove going to tanning beds or laying outside to get the perfect sun-kissed glow(pretty much everyone) are now able to do so without the health risksassociated with UV exposure. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrulose work withamino acids in the skin to produce the perfect look, without the worry ofcancer.
6.Body Building
One of the less conventional reasons that leads people to gettheir first spray tan is the sport of body building. The color that an expertlyapplied spray tan provides to the muscles, perfectly accentuates the hard workthat these athletes put in to sculpting their bodies. Even if you’re not a bodybuilder, spray tans can help to enhance muscle definition and give you the tonedlook you’re after. That’s why it’s used by competitors in sports such as dancing,cheerleading, and ice skating too!
7.Vacations/Beach Season
Most everyone can relate to a desire to look your best foryour next vacation, particularly at the beach. That explains why so many peoplework out, diet and spray tan before they go on vacation. Spray tanning allowspeople to avoid dangerous UV exposure while still looking fabulous in theirswimwear.
