Spray Tanning FAQ's
What are the benefits of a sunless tan?
You’ll look and feel thinner after your airbrush tan. You’ll feel more confident and beautiful in your own skin. It helps camouflage blemishes on your skin like acne, spider veins and other skin imperfections. Most importantly, it’s a safe alternative to UV tanning, outdoors or indoors. UV rays not only put you at a higher risk for skin cancer, but also cause your skin to age and wrinkle prematurely. Who wants that? Click Here to see "Why Sunless is Safer"

What is in the sunless tan solution?
All spray tanning solutions aren't created equal. Our custom sunless tanning solution is made from only the highest quality ingredients available. There are three main components in our spray tan solution. The first is a cosmetic bronzer that gives you instant glow and color but washes off with your first shower. The second active spray tanning ingredient is a natural sugar derivative called DHA (dihydroxyacetone). DHA reacts with the amino acids in the top layer of the skin producing a natural tan effect. Our spray tan solution also contains Erythrulose which aids in extending the life and quality of your sunless tan. We are happy to provide a full list of ingredients upon request.
How long will it take for my airbrush tan to develop?
Our sunless tanning solution contains a cosmetic bronzer that will give instant color to your skin. This is a temporary color guide that will wash off during your first shower. The spray tan solution can take up to 12 hours to fully develop but it will take as little as 6 hours for you to start to notice your sunless tan. We recommend leaving the spray tan solution on your skin for at least 6-8 hours before you shower, preferably 12 hours if you can wait that long!
Can I be in the sun after getting a sunless tan?
Sunless tanning solutions do not contain SPF and therefore provide no protection from the sun. We recommend waiting until your spray tan is fully developed and you've taken your first shower before you apply sunscreen because it could cause your sunless tan to streak. After your spray tan is developed, it is perfectly fine to be in the sun with proper sun protection.
What should I wear while I’m getting my airbrush tan? Do I have to get naked?
When we apply your airbrush tan you, you can wear as little or as much as you feel comfortable in! If you are more on the modest side, you are welcome to wear a one piece bathing suit or even a beach cover up if you just want your legs and arms done. Most women go topless with just underwear or a bikini bottom, but we are happy to accommodate whatever you feel comfortable with.
What should I wear after my spray tan is applied?
Come in your comfy clothes and flip flops! Dark colored, loose fitting clothes are best. The airbrush tan solution has some cosmetic bronzer in it that may rub off slightly on clothes, but washes off easily in the washing machine.

Is it safe to get a spray tan while pregnant?

How do I prepare for my spray tan?
Make sure you exfoliate your whole body including your face. This will ensure your airbrush tan lasts as long as possible. Don’t wear any lotion on your skin because it will cause your spray tan not to develop correctly. You can come with or without makeup on, so if you do have some on, we will have face wipes so that you can remove all but your eye makeup. For more information on "Spray Tan Prep" click here.
