Spray tan then sunbed?

I was wondering if it would be ok if I got a spray tan for a quick fix and then use a sunbed after that so I can gradually get a proper tan or will it not work because I'll have had the spray on tan? Also what is the precedure for getting a spray tan in a beauticians? Thanks :)Spray tan then sunbed?
In the salon I worked in, we called that a Cocktail Tan! It will work great because the DHA in the spray will have a chance penetrate deeper and darker from the heat of the UV booth, you do need to do a stand up before going into spray. This opens up your pores for the spray. Do not use a tanning lotion or moisturizer, other than the one provided in the spray tan booth.





You should exfoliate your entire body before you go. However do not moisturize! The reason you don't want to moisturize is because any type of emollient is going to block the absorption of DHA, the active ingredient in the spray tan. The only kind of a moisturizer you can use before a spray tan... that I know of anyway... is made by Mystic and it's called HyperMoist.





When you go into the booth you'll of course want to undress, put the hair net on and then prepare your skin. They will provide you with a blending cream. You want to put a very, very thin layer on dry areas, like your knees and elbows and a rub it in.





Then apply a heavier layer of it on the palms of your hands, working it more thinly in between your fingers and the webbing of your fingers. Do the same thing on the edges of your feet. NOT ON THE BOTTOMS of your feet! Also make sure you get your nails and cuticles of both hands and feet.





You are now ready for the booth... ooops! Almost forgot! Use the eyewear they give you! Most of the time people want to squint when the spray hits their face. When they do that it makes you look like you have wrinkles when you don't.





When you get out, you want to first wipe the cream off your hands and with a towel, remove the cap from your head. As quickly as you can, with a clean towel dry off COMPLETELY! As fast as you can, rub every part of your body dry... don't miss a thing! A lot of people want to leave as much of the spray on them, this cause blotchiness. Don't do it! Rub yourself dry! The faster you can dry off, the less chance of dripping and running.





Don't wear your favorite white bra, it can stain some fabrics. Do not get wet for at least 4-6 hours after. Don't do any activity that may cause you to sweat for 4-6 hours. After you take a shower, use a moisturizer. Even though the solution is aloe based, the DHA can be drying to your skin. The more you moisturize, the longer it lasts.





Good Luck! Follow these instructions and it'll look great!Spray tan then sunbed?
