Is it safe/ ok to get spray tan if you have asthma ?
I don’t know of many places who still carry out manual fake tan unless anyone can recommend a salon company which does?

How badly do you suffer?
I'd probably ask for a mask and keep it on until your face is being done, and that should cut down exposure to the chemicals.

Beconaze up your nose and pumps before you have your tan though if you can. They will act as a barrier between your airways and lungs and the chemicals. It may be a bit over the top, but it seems like a pretty decent plan if the tan is needed

BTW fake bake do a goodun with a mitt and gloves.

*use pumps

It's fine, obviously if your asthma is particularly bad at the time I wouldn't. Some places have ventilation set up for spray tanning

Thanks Chasing ! Anyone know any other good fake tan lotions just in case?

I was trained in st Tropez but I can't see the difference between that and st Moritz. Half the battle to a good tan is prep work, exfoliate and shave the day before. No perfume or deodorant and lightly moisturise drier skin areas, and definitely use a tanning mitt 😊

Thanks Chasing , good advice 👍

Rodial is the best fake tan I've ever used at home, if you decide to go that route.
