tanning with a spray tan

Question: After getting a spray on tan in a booth, can I go in the sun and darken my skin? I ask this because I am planning on getting a spray on tan before my Caribbean vacation. I would like to go to the beach there and get a little real tan, is that possible?

Answer: Absolutely. Just remember that spray tan will not protect you from getting sunburned.

Just take short periods in the sun initially and wear a sunscreen, and by the time your spray tan wears off, you will have developed a nice natural tan. You will not even notice when one finishes and the other begins.

That way you will be able to have your cake and eat it too.
Have a great time on your holiday and - don't forget sunscreen.
