Airbrush Tanning Guide

Please Wax/shave or have your nails done prior to your session (if you are planning on having these things done) 

We will customize your spray for you. Light, Medium, Dark. Allow up to 6-8 hours before you can shower. Our solution is all organic so if it does get on clothing or sheets they will wash out. The Spray Tan Lasts 5-10 days. We will also give you a card on how to maintain your spray tan for long lasting results.

To avoid uneven or blotchy areas of tan, it is essential to start exfoliating and hydrating the skin at least 2-3 days before your spray tan. 

Exfoliation will help to remove any excess dead skin cells to reveal fresh, youthful skin. Exfoliation will also prep the skin exposing an even surface to spray, which in turn allows for an even application without error after the DHA is applied. At a minimum, it is recommended clients exfoliate and hydrate 24 hours before the spray tan session. Clients should use a spa grade exfoliator containing no oils for best results. Moisturizing is also vital in spray tan preparation. Adding moisture to the skin will decrease the chance of discoloration, patchiness, alligator skin, and overdevelopment in drier areas upon application. Remember: Hydrated skin is healthier, and healthy skin will “hold” onto those skin cells that have absorbed the DHA.  

Day of tanning session maintenance is of utmost importance. Clients must follow these guidelines to improve the outcome of their spray tan: 

• Wear loose-fitting, dark, cotton clothing. Avoid silk; refrain from wearing close-toed shoes and socks, tight restrictive pants, tops, and bras; and do not wear white. 
• Remove perfumes, deodorants, and lotions before arriving at the spray tan appointment.
• It is best to avoid using soaps and shampoos in the shower immediately before the tanning appointment, instead, the client should take a “bird bath” to gently remove residues with hand and water only. 
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to hydrate the body and skin; hydration starts from the inside! 
• Avoid using oil-based products the day of tanning session, these oils could act as a barrier to DHA and cause an uneven development and lessen the longevity of a spray tan.
