How to Airbrush With a Spray-On Tan
- 1). Shower prior to applying the tan to make sure that your skin is clean. Try to exfoliate with a sponge and a moisturizer. You can also apply moisturizing lotion prior to spray tanning yourself to keep your skin from getting dry and shedding.
- 2). Wear a tight-fitting and dark-colored bathing suit over the parts of your body that you do not wish to tan.
- 3). Hold the spray tan from 4 to 6 inches from your body and slowly wave the tanning agent in front of your skin as you spray it evenly across your body. Take three to four seconds to spray across each foot of skin, on your stomach, arm or back for example. Make sure a large portion of your skin is covered with a light layer.
- 4). Use a small sponge, or a sponge paintbrush, to rub the solution into your skin. Be careful not to rub too much in one spot so that you do not remove the solution from your skin.
- 5). Wait 10 minutes and apply lotion again to your entire body.
