Important FAQ’s

   
     How does it Work?
The active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids on the outer most layer of the skin, the epidermis. This reaction causes the color of the skin to darken, producing a beautiful, natural tan. DHA starts to react with the skin within 2 hours of the tan application and continues to do so for a total of 4-8 hours. It is recommended waiting a minimum of 7 hours after tanning to shower or bathe.  Allow 20-30 minutes per session depending upon service chosen.

     How long does an Airbrush Tan last?
Depending upon the each individual’s activities and skin type, the tan lasts approximately 7-10 days. With follow-up applications, a person can maintain the tan indefinitely.  Ask about our tan extending products to help keep your beautiful tan.

     What should you wear & How do I prepare for my Spray Tan?
Attire for women is whatever you are comfortable with. Many things can be done to minimize tan lines. The key is your comfort level. Attire for men is boxers, swimming trunks or shorts. Your tanning specialist will use the utmost discretion. Loose fitting clothing should be worn after an Airbrush tanning session. DHA can react with wool, nylon and silk. These fabrics should not be worn during or immediately following your tanning session.

To prepare for your tan and for best results, exfoliate your skin either the day of your appointment or the day before.  Do not apply too much lotion – although some will not affect the results.  Shaving is not necessary, however if you are planning to attend an event that day, it is best to be clean shaven as you are not to shower, shave or sweat for at least 6-7 hours after your session.  Wear loose clothing to your session.
