Question 1

IS A SPRAY TAN SAFE?

Accepted Answer

A sunless spray tan is the only safe and healthy way to tan! Our spray tan solutions are paraben free, gluten free, cruelty free, sulfate free, nut allergen free, and vegan, and contain vitamins and antioxidants.

Question 2

HOW DOES A SPRAY TAN WORK?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredient in all self-tanning formulas is dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA. DHA is naturally derived from plants such as sugarcane and beets.  It creates a tanned appearance by reacting with amino acids on the surface of the skin. In addition to DHA, most spray tan solutions contain cosmetic bronzers which provide immediate color during a spray tanning session and works as a “color guide” on the skin. During your first shower the cosmetic bronzer will rinse off. You may think your tan has washed away, but this is normal. Over the next 24 hours the active ingredient, DHA will fully develop and you will see your true tan results.

Question 3

HOW LONG DOES A SPRAY TAN LAST?

Accepted Answer

A spray tan can last anywhere from 5-10+ days. Following all of the recommended pre-tan prep and post-tan aftercare is crucial to ensure a flawless application and a long lasting tan. Other factors such as: lifestyle, skin conditions, hormones, medications, antibiotics, and activities can play a role in how long your tan lasts.

Question 5

WILL I BE ORANGE?

Accepted Answer

This is the most common asked question and the answer is NO! We are highly trained and educated on color theory. When selecting the custom color for your tan we factor in your skin type, skin tone and undertones to determine what will provide the most natural results and counter any unwanted orange undertones.

Question 6

WILL IT PROTECT ME FROM THE SUN?

Accepted Answer

Although you may look and feel like you have a real tan,  a spray tan provides your skin with no real sun protection.  We highly recommend wearing sunscreen when out in the sun. You want to avoid aerosol based sunscreens and tanning oils. Please contact us for our list of recommended spray tan friendly sunscreens.

Question 7

WILL IT STAIN MY CLOTHES, HAIR OR NAILS?

Accepted Answer

There is a chance that the solution may rub off on clothing. The solution will come off of most clothing/fabrics when washed. To minimize the chance of the solution transferring or staining, wear or bring loose-fitting dark clothing to put on after your tan.

The solution will not discolor your hair, nails or nail polish.  We provide a protective hair cap for each client to wear during the session and wipe down your palms, fingernails and toenails at the end of the session.

Question 8

CAN I SPRAY TAN IF I'M PREGNANT?

Accepted Answer

We have sprayed numerous moms to be with no issues. But every pregnancy is  different. Since we are not the medical professionals, we recommend checking with your doctor first to get their approval. We are happy to send you the ingredients in all of our products and solutions to consult with your doctor.
