What is spray tanning?
Spray tanning is airbrush or spray application of tanning solution to the body. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient in tanning solution and reacts with the proteins in the skin's superficial layer to form a golden brown color. The skin will start to darken two to three hours after application and reaches it's peak color within 24 hours.
Will I look orange?
- No! The advanced technology used in tanning solutions is designed to ensure a natural, bronzed tan. Your spray tan artist will also help you select the appropriate tanning solution to best match your skin tone.
Will swimming affect my tan?
- Swimming in chlorinated water or salt water may fade the spray tan results more quickly or cause streaking. However, regular bathing should not affect the longevity of the tan.
How long does a spray tan last?
- A spray tan typically last up to 5-7 days depending on if pre/post tan care is followed.
When should I get spray tanned before an event?
- We recocemend at least one full day before an event to get sprayed, unless opting for the rapid tan. If planning to be swimming in chlorinated or salt water, please wait at least 36 hours after spray session to swim.
