Sunless spray tanning and airbrush tanning are becoming more popular alternatives to baking your skin under harsh lights. Not only will you look great now; you will not see unhealthy results in the future. This is a list of convenient, enjoyable and affordable tanning salons that are fantastic places to go to keep your skin aglow.

At Palm Beach Tan you can choose between VersaSpa™ and Mystic Tan™ spray booths. These sunless tanning booths use a unique combination of aloe vera and DHA (the active ingredient in all sunless tanners) to moisturize your skin while applying the tan to ensure that your color lasts as long as possible. This tanning process is private and efficient. You are in and out of the salon in less than 20 minutes. Palm Beach also offers a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for sunless sessions on their website.

They will educate you as to which one will look most natural with your own skin tone. You also have the option of adding a tanning accelerator which cuts development time in half. Then, while inside the tanning booth, a recorded voice will instruct you through four body positions to achieve the most even coverage of the tanning mist. The formula used at Hollywood Tans also can last seven to 10 days if properly cared for. Staff will happily instruct you on after-tan care as well.
