You go to the tanning salon to either lie in a tanning bed for 30 minutes or get hosed down by a tanning solution. You go to your shower to, well, take a shower, right? Not if you’re using ShowerTan.
Developed by RNJ Enterprises in Tampa, Fla., and featured on Good Morning America, this new product is supposed to bring sunless spray tan technology to your own home by way of your shower.

Sunbathing: The ShowerTan system gives you a sunless tan from the comfort of your own bathroom.
It comes in three parts you stack together to form the “misting pole.” Fill the base with the solution and cartridge and it begins to spray you as you turn to get your even tan. The solutions are water-based so cleanup is not supposed to be a hassle, with the solution completely rinsing off the shower the next time you bathe.
Bailey Young, Winfield freshman, says she tries to tan whenever she can. She uses spray-tan booths in Lawrence and feels like she looks better while tan. She likes the idea of the “easy access” factor of a shower spray tan.
“You would not have to leave your house to do it,” she says.
