Tanning in Orkney

Tanning salons are the place to go to get an affordable summer look, without the need of baking in the sun! There's a variety of methods available to tanners - spray tans, airbrush tanning and sunbeds to name just a few. Using a sunbed is the process of standing or lying in a place where ultra violet radiation is applied thus producing a cosmetic tan. It is important to note that this can be dangerous and has been linked to skin cancer. Sunless tanning is now a popular way to get a tan and far safer for your skin. Sunless tanning when done in a salon is usually in the form of a spray tan. It is the application of colour to the skin to produce a fake sun tan that will last a number of weeks. You are able to get this in a number of shades depending on the natural colour of your skin. Sometimes a machine is used to do a spray tan but you often get a better effect when using a person to manually spray tan you as this takes your shape into consideration and provides a more air brushed look.
