Question: well alot of ppl say that you will turn orange if you get a spray tan is that true?
Answer: Millions of people spray tan every month, so if everybody would turn orange, you would see orange people everywhere. You don't, so majority of spray tans look so natural that nobody can tell that they did not come from sitting in the sun.
People that turn orange usually are very pale and want to get very dark. That means that they use too much solution for their complexion and their skin takes on too much DHA, hence this strange color.
When you have your first spray tan go for the lightest shade possible and that way you will get a nice glow and you will also be able to see how your skin reacts to DHA, which is the component in the spray tanning solution that produces the color.
If you ask for the lightest shade there is probably about 99.9% chance that your color will be great.
