Spray Tanning on the Cheap

Posted by Chrissy Dolezal Jun 2, 2009

I spent time with my cousin this weekend and her tan was fabulous; perfectly golden, healthy glow, not a line in sight. Trying not to be jealous of her golden luster, I had to know if this was a “real” tan or fake. To my surprise not only was this a spray tan but a tan her husband had sprayed on her in their garage!

About a month ago she and her sister went to get spray tans at a salon, the cost, $25. Spray tans will last about a week. For many people, dropping $25 a week for a tan could bring on the need for their own financial bailout.

Being the little snoop that she is, she looked through all the spray tan tools and products before the spray girl came in. She wrote down the name of the solution that the salon used for tanning. With a quick google later that day, my cousin discovered that she could purchase her own bottle of spray tan for $25. One bottle will spray about 25-30 tans.

When the bottle arrived, her husband attached the bottle to his paint sprayer and went to work. Results, a perfect golden tan on the cheap!

One quick warning, when being sprayed naked in your garage; make sure no one has an extra garage door opener, just in case!
