It’s summertime again and most everyone wants to have that nice brown summer glow. Shorts and bathing suits always seem to see better on us if our skin has a nice golden tan and for some reason seems to perform us think we observe healthier.

Many of us would rather opt to use a commercial product that will give us the look of having spent days out in the sun, but without the consequences. We all know that prolonged exposure to the sun can sometimes cause damaging effects, such as skin cancer.

So if you are someone that would rather expend an over the counter tanner then which kind should you choose? There are creams, gels, and now spray tanning. But which one is the most effective and looks the best after being applied?

I’ll tell you, it’s actually really in the application. Personally for me I think that the spray tanning works much better than the dismal tanning creams or gels.

I found that with the creams and gels having to use your hands to rub it into your skin can cause your fingernails to be stained and also any creases in your skin or fingers. As you rub it into the rest of your body, you cannot see any spots that you might have missed or an area where you might have applied too much.

As everyone knows this can cause the dreaded “orange” look and the creams and lotions always tend to cause streaks in different areas, where one portion of your skin looks tan and the other doesn’t.

With the tanning sprays, they seem to give you a more even application because it is a pretty mist and not a thick bunch of lotion. You don’t have to salvage your hands all messy or stain your fingernails.

With sprays they tend to have less streaks left on your skin, and have more of an allover coverage. I also believe the sprays save you money because of the fact that you don’t have to use as much spray as you do lotion since it is more lightweight.

I do recommend when using the tanning sprays that you do so in your shower, because of the fact that a spray can float in the air and land on clothing, furniture, etc. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and have brown streaks in your bathroom. In the shower after applying, just step out and rinse the bathtub and shower stall off and you have no worries.
