When you go to get a spray tan, you can add a lot more than just color to your body. Along with the tanning experience, you have the option to completely customize your spray tan and include a wide-range of add-ons. Ideally, you want to try each add-on one at a time to enjoy the desired the effect and see if you enjoy the add-on experience.
With each new visit to a spray tanning salon, you can mix it up and try different add-ons until you find the one you enjoy the most. Check out some of the best options below and find which one you will want to try first.

1. Scented Add-Ons


While a tanning service provides an exciting visual experience, you can get your other senses involved with the use of scented add-ons. Mixed right into the spray tan liquid, you can choose from a wide range of add-on options.
For example, a scented add-on may include tropical scents that pair well with the look of a beach body. Tropical scents could include coconut or pineapple. Consider other fruit scents like orange and mango. Every tanning salon will offer different options, but the subtle scents will blend nicely with your spray tan and not feel too overwhelming. The highly concentrated scents only take a few drops to fully cover your body and add a nice natural touch.
Along with beach and summer scents, look for other seasonal options as well. For example, in the fall, you may choose scents like vanilla or autumn spice.

2. DHA Drops


If you want to enhance the color of your tan, then consider the addition of DHA drops. The drops will help darken your skin with the use of special ingredients. Scientifically known as Dihydroxyacetone, the drops are derived from sugar beets and can help increase the effectiveness of a spray tan.
If you've gotten a spray tan before and want to increase the color tone right away, then consider the DHA drops. A tanning salon will know how many drops to use and the mixture will apply evenly over your skin. If you only want to use the DHA drops in certain areas, then seek out an airbrush service that can add the drops and apply them to specific parts like the legs.

3. Skincare Additives


With add-on options, you can not only change the color of your skin, but you have the option to improve the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Apply a spray tan that includes skincare additives. You may have a large selection to choose from that will focus directly on skincare. For example, some skincare additives will include caffeine to help firm up skin.
You may also choose an additive that include CBD oil. When applied to skin, CBD oil can help reduce redness and other skin conditions. Like any skin product, the results vary by person and trying each additive out will help you discover which options work best for your skin needs.

4. Shimmer Drops


If you want to add a little shine to your spray tan, then consider the addition of shimmer drops to your appointment. Shimmer drops can really boost the look of a spray tan and help certain areas add some pop. The shimmer drops may come in a variety of names and depend on the company who releases them.
Request a shimmer option at next appointment to see the available options. Examples may include a golden touch shimmer drop or a glitz and glam shimmer drop. They will create the same glowing effect that can really enhance the final look of your tan.
