Keep Your Glow: Top Spray Tan Salons In Denver

With all of the news about skin cancer, we know that the most important thing to do is to protect our skin. So what do you do when you still want that glow? Spray tanning (or airbrush tanning) is a healthier alternative to a natural tan. Using various formulas, spray tanning essentially stains the skin, creating a coat of even color that lasts for about a week. Since the color is applied with an airbrushing machine, it goes on more evenly than self-tanners and minimizes streaks and splotches. Check out one of these salons to get an even, bronze glow for any occasion.
