Please read, understand, and sign the following:
Spray tanning is accomplished by application of a solution containing the active ingredient: DHA (Dihydroxyacetone)
DHA is considered to be safe and has been FDA approved ONLY if you follow guidelines to protect mucous membranes.
- The FDA advises asking the following questions when considering the application of DHA by spraying or misting
- Are you protected from exposure in the entire area of the eyes, in addition to the eyes themselves?
- Are you protected from exposure on the lips and all parts of the body covered by mucous membrane?
- Are you protected from internal exposure caused by inhaling or ingesting the product?
If the answer to any of these questions is "no", you are not protected from the approved use of DHA. You should request measures to protect your eyes and mucous membranes and prevent inhalation.
NOTE: Pregnant or nursing women should consult their physician before spraying.
If clothing is worn during your spray tan, it's best to wear a dark swimsuit or dark underwear. Disposable undergarments are also available upon request. The solution will wash out of most clothing, but it is always best to wear dark loose fitting cotton clothing to and from your appointment. It is advised to wash the undergarment or clothing worn as soon as possible after your session.
The spray tan process will take anywhere between 15-30 minutes. After spraying, your skin should be dry before putting your clothes back on and you should not shower or sweat excessively until your recommended rinse time. The solution will give you an immediate bronzing effect. When going to take your first warm water rinse in the shower, the bronzer will wash off and may look like your tan is completely gone. This is not the case, as your tan will continue developing up until 24 hours after.
Please keep in mind that all clients are different. All ingredients used in this service are intended for cosmetic use and generally regarded as safe. There are, however, occasions where individuals may be allergic to one or more ingredients in the spray tan solution. If you have any known allergies, let your technician know.
Also, be advised there is a small percentage of people whose skin may not react favorably to spray tanning. For this reason, we do NOT advise being sprayed for the first time when your appearance is critical (ex. wedding/special occasion)
