The Right Fit: The Basics Of Choosing Jeans When I was young, jeans were a basic, simple clothing item. Over the years, they have evolved into something far more complex. There are so many different cuts, styles, and designs now that the clothing combinations are amazing. I've spent many years researching the changes in popular jeans styles and trying to determine which cuts were best for my body. I took everything I learned and decided to build this blog. If you've always struggled to understand the different types of jeans on the market or to choose the right cut for your body shape, I hope the information here helps solve the mystery.

If you're seeking tan skin without doing it yourself or using a tanning bed, standing in a spray tan booth is likely what you'll be doing. If it's your first tanning experience, consider these spray pointers for before, during, and even after your tanning session.

Shave First

One complaint some people have about their tan is that it isn't as even as they'd hoped on knees and legs. You'll need to prevent this tanning problem by shaving the day before. When you use a razor, you'll not only be removing hair but also the topmost layer of skin; if you shave after tanning, some discoloration will occur because you'll be removing that layer after tanning and your skin may be lighter underneath.

Moisturize Beforehand

Some of the dryest parts of your body may end up being the most tanned. That's because generally, the spray seems most absorbed in those areas. Moisturize your entire body so that when you have your tanning session, your body will evenly absorb the spray and you'll have a nice tone all over.

Wait to Shower

If you're heading out for social time or the beach, you might feel an urge to quickly shower once you're home from the tanning session. You might find that you wash away some of the tanner and that your body ends up with some streaks or other discoloration. Let the spray settle; wait some hours before showering or getting wet.

Paint Your Nails

Your fingernails and toenails may not be on your mind now, but when the spray is on your body, you might notice a bronze on all your nails that you don't want. To keep nails clear, paint them before your session. You can then remove the polish if you so choose. Even a clear coating will work.

Follow Up with Self-Tanner

After your session, you'll go home and go about your regular routines. However, you may notice that some parts of your tan seem to fade sooner than others. Panicking isn't necessary; you can fix spots with a good self-tanner. Ensure that you don't leave your first tanning session without asking your salon for recommendations about the right products and the right color to purchase and use on your skin.

With these tanning bed suggestions, you'll be bronze and satisfied. Your local tanning salons can further advise you so that you can happily achieve an even, golden look.
