well spray you dont get it from the sun so better for you as far as uva and uvb and skin cancer on the other hand a regular tan you are at risk for the dangers of the uva and uvb raysWhat's the difference between a spray tan and a regular tan?
What you're spraying is chemicals that are dying the color of your skin. It would be very hard to get an even tan that way as there are spots you can't reach.





A regular tan would be better provided you don't stay out long the first time and gradually build up your tolerance for it, otherwise, you'll burn and peel.
spray tan-if you need quick, immediate results. I suggest the mystic tan(they have a website), it sprays you with a mixture of bronzers and water in less than 60 seconds, you towel off and go home and wait till your tan develops. I also suggest to check your moisturizers you use at home and MAKE SURE THEY DO NOT HAVE mineral oil or petrolatum in them b/c this clogs your pores and then you can become streaky. if you do use something with either of those stop using the moisturizer for a few days. if you have been slacking a need a quick tan to look tan(i.e. prom, wedding) then this is it, I do suggest if you do have time to test run it before a big event just to make sure you like it and to get the fine tunning done beforehand. this will not protect you from uv light.





Regular tan-tanning beds(have uva and uvb rays) and sun(has uva, uvb, and uvc rays). the tanning bed helps get you a tan before a big vacation in the sun to prevent you from having a horrible burn. you should always wear goggles and should use tanning lotion to help replenish vitamins, and moisture lost from tanning. just don't over do it and you are safer than just going out in the sun and burning while on vacation or so on. hope this helps!
