A certified Spray Tan Artist will arrive. Prior to the actual spray tan, a pH balancing spray will be applied to help moisturize and enhance the results of your spray tan. The spray tan artist will walk you through instructions regarding barrier cream application and poses for tanning. Start to finish, the entire session lasts about 15-20 minutes.

During:
Whatever makes you feel comfortable! Some clients prefer to wear an old dark swimsuit or thong.
Note: Female clients over the age of 18 may choose to tan topless or in the nude*. *FDA suggests that mucous membranes are covered (nostrils, lips, genitals)

After:
Put on dark, loose clothing and sandals. Anything tight or restrictive will damage your developing tan (i.e., socks, skinny jeans, leggings, tights, or elastic) and is not recommended immediately after your session.

Rinse times vary depending on the solution and how dark you want to be. This is determined after the Spray Tan Artist is finished with your session.

Typically, your tan will last anywhere from 5-10 days with proper prep and maintenance. It is important to keep your skin moisturized and avoid the following:

• loofahs
• band aids
• hair removal creams
• waxing
• excessive sweating
• chlorine pools and hot tubs
• long baths
• Esthetician services

For those that like to stay tan on a regular basis, we recommend that you tan no more than once a week. This helps avoid buildup and uneven fading. It is important to remember that your skin needs a break every 6 weeks for its natural exfoliation process to complete and to keep your results even.

Our solutions are non-toxic and are not known to have adverse effects to expectant mothers. However, we recommend each customer consult with their physician prior to spray tanning.

DHA stands for Dihydroxyacetone. It is the active ingredients found in all sunless tanning solutions. DHA does not make your skin cells' pigmentation darker, but rather reacts with the top layer of skin to create a sunless tan with its darkening effect.
