Spray tanning? Hold your breath

By Mayo Clinic staff

The chemicals used for spray tanning at the salon or spa are generally considered safe for skin. What isn't known are the possible risks of inhaling these chemicals or getting them in your eyes. Keep your spray-tanning experience safe by holding your breath and closing your eyes. Goggles and nose plugs may offer more protection.
