Everything You Need to Know About Drying Powder for Your Spray Tan
When it comes to achieving the perfect spray tan, every detail matters. One essential product that enhances your tanning experience is drying powder. At Shades Atelier in Bryan/College Station, we offer a range of high-quality drying powders, including shimmer, matte, and unscented options. But what exactly is drying powder, and why should you use it with your custom spray tan or booth spray tan?
What is Drying Powder?
Drying powder is a specially formulated product used immediately after a spray tan to help set the tan, reduce stickiness, and aid in preventing transfer onto clothing. It’s typically made from natural, skin-friendly ingredients that absorb excess moisture, leaving your skin feeling smooth and comfortable. Our powder is talc free, gluten and paraben free.
The Benefits of Using Drying Powder with a Spray Tan
- Reduces Stickiness and Discomfort After a spray tan, your skin might feel sticky or tacky. Drying powder helps to absorb any remaining moisture, reducing that sticky feeling and making the experience more pleasant.
- Prevents Streaks and Smudges Applying drying powder can help set your tan evenly, reducing the risk of streaks or smudges that can occur if the tan hasn’t fully dried before you get dressed.
- Minimizes the Risk of Transfer One of the biggest concerns after a spray tan is the transfer of tanning solution onto clothing or bedding. Drying powder forms a barrier that minimizes this risk, keeping your tan intact and your clothes clean.
- Customizable Experience At Shades Atelier, we offer different types of drying powders to suit your preferences:
- Shimmer Drying Powder: Adds a subtle glow to your skin, perfect for special occasions.
- Matte Drying Powder: Provides a smooth, shine-free finish for those who prefer a natural look.
- Unscented Drying Powder: Ideal for clients with sensitive skin or those who prefer no added fragrance.
- Prolongs the Life of Your Tan By ensuring your spray tan dries evenly and quickly, drying powder helps to lock in the color, making your tan last longer and fade more naturally.
How to Apply Drying Powder
You can absolutely do a full-body application with drying powder but focus on areas where skin-to-skin contact occurs. This includes under the arms, inner elbows, back of the knees, inner thighs, under the neck, under the booty, under the boobs, and around the love handles. Applying drying powder to these specific areas can significantly enhance comfort, reduce stickiness, and ensure your tan sets perfectly.
