How to Prep for your Appointment
Exfoliate your skin: Use a exfoliating mitt or gloves 24 hours prior to your appointment. Focus on areas such as elbows, knees, and ankles to remove dead skin cells and avoid uneven tanning
Shave or Wax: Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment. This will allow your pores to close and give a smoother tan result.
Other Beauty Services: Please make sure to complete all other beauty services 24+ hours prior to your spray tan appointment (nails, waxing, lashes, etc.).
Avoid moisturizers, deodorants, and makeup: Please come to your appointment with clean, dry skin. Do not apply lotions, oils, or deodorants as they can create a barrier on the skin, affecting the tan.
Wear loose, dark clothing: After your tan, wear loose-fitting, dark clothes to avoid rubbing the tan off and staining lignter clothing. See photos for examples.
• 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 guildlines to protect mucous membranes.
The FDA recommends that you take the following measures to protect ingestion or inhalation during your sunless session by using:
- Protective eyewear
- Nose filters
- Sealing lips with lip balm
- Protective undergarments
• Before starting your airbrush tan, you will remove clothing for application. This is up to you and your level of comfort. You should wear a dark swimsuit or underwear. Spa undergarments may be available upon request. The solution will wash out of most clothing. It is always best to wear dark loose fitting cotton clothing. It is advised to wash the undergarment or clothing worn as soon as possible after your session.
• Next, You will be sprayed. This process will take approximately ten to fifteen minutes. After spraying, your skin should be dry before putting your clothes back on and you should not bath or sweat excessively for 12-18 hours. The solution will give you an immediate bronzing effect. The bronzing effect is a result of a coloring additive in the solution that will remain on the skin until you are actually tan. When you shower, the coloring will come off to reveal your actual tan beneath.
• All people are different. All ingredients used in this procedure 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. Please read the ingredients list if you have any known allergies.
• 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; (wedding/special occasion)
• Caution – Pregnant or nursing women should consult their physician before using.
• Warning – This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure of unprotected skin to U.V. Light may increase the risk of skin aging, skin cancer and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.
