A spray tan is a method of self tanning (or sunless tanning) where a fine mist is sprayed onto your body. The mist contains an ingredient called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that interacts with your skin’s chemistry to turn it tan, or bronze.

A spray tan is a safer way to get an even tan all over your body, in a color that you like. It is perfect if you’re prepping for an event! Our solution works by the hour. The first 2 hours will give you a little golden glow, 4 hours is a medium bronze color and 6+ hours will give you the darkest deepest tan color. When you've reached your favorite shade of tan that's when you can shower and let the water wash off the accelerating bronzer which is stop the tan from continuously getting tanner and tanner. When you shower you WILL see the bronzer wash off. DONT PANIC! that's just the bronzer NOT the tan!

How To Prepare For Your Spray Tanning Session

​

If you’re reading this far you’ve probably decided to go ahead and give spray tanning a chance!

Good for you!

Before you head off to the salon, here’s a few tips you should follow to ensure that you get am even, beautiful tan.

​

1. Make sure you shave or wax before your appointment. A lot of people say to do it a day or two before (so your pores close) but that only applies if the solution is dark or has a bronzer in it.  If it’s a clear solution, you can shave or wax the day of.

2. Be sure to exfoliate your skin the day before your appointment.

Based on the way self tanners work, it’s important to slough off as much dead and dry skin as possible before applying any self tanner or tanning spray.  Just trust us, you’ll get a better result!

3. Try to remove moisturizers, makeup and deodorant before you spray tan.

These products contain ingredients like oils that can make it hard for the main ingredient in self tanning spray to bind to your skin. This could cause your spray tan to look streaky and blotchy.  You don’t want that!

4. Right before application, we will put a little Vaseline or moisturizer on your knees, ankles, elbows, and palms.  We will provide a shower cap, disposable thong and strapless bra.  Put some lip balm on your lips.

5. Try to keep the spray tan solution on overnight and don’t put on any moisturizer or deodorant until the next day.

That means no showering, using soap, or any moisturizer for at least 12 hours.  You could shrink that time down a little, but you won’t get the best results if you do.  The color starts to develop within an hour or two and really kicks in within 3-5 hours.

​​

After getting a spray tan, follow these aftercare instructions:

 

1. Wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid rubbing off the tan.

2. Avoid bathing, sweating, and water exposure for several hours.

3. Keep your skin moisturized to prolong the tan.

4. Avoid exfoliation, shaving, and makeup application immediately after the tan
