- What is Airbrush Tanning?
Airbrush tanning is the process of applying DHA solution through top of the line HVLP tanning equipment. DHA solution is a safe, natural, and sunless solution that is sprayed on by a trained technician, leaving you with a natural looking tan for up to two weeks. DHA reacts with the amino acids from the top layer of your skin, which creates the sunless bronze look without having the “orange” tint. With the DHA only reacting with the top layers of dead skin, there are no long lasting effects that UV rays cause. When a client steps into the pop up tent, the spray is applied and immediate results are seen. Results can take up to 12 hours to reach the darkest level of tan. After the bronzer is washed off the underlying DHA tan should result in skin coloration that is 1 to 2 shades darker leaving you with a beautiful bronze tan.
- Is Airbrush Tanning Safe?
The main ingredient, DHA (dihydroxyacetone), is from raw sugar cane and has been approved by FDA for cosmetic use. DHA has been used safely since the 1970s in several sunless tanning products, such as creams and lotions.
- How Long Will My Spray Tan Last?
Your tan will typically last 7-10 days and fades similar to a normal suntan. However, length of tan may vary depending on how you care for your skin before and after your tanning session. Moisturizer is the main key to prolonging your tan. The more you moisturize, the longer the tan lasts. Ask about our products to enhance and prolong your tan.
- How Long Does Each Tanning Session Take?
The total time from when we walk in the door till we leave will take about 20-30 minutes. It will take 5-10 minutes to set up. The spray process only takes 5-10 minutes. Then we will take 5-10 minutes to answer questions and pack up to leave.
- What Do Clients Wear?
Attire for women is whatever you are comfortable with. The key is your comfort level. Attire for men is boxers, swim trunks, or shorts. Our tanning specialists use the utmost discretion.
- How Do I Prepare For My Tan?
Either on the night before, or on the morning of your airbrush tanning session, use an oil-free exfoliate and do the necessary shaving. Lotions, make-up, and deodorant will act as a barrier to prevent the tanning solution from reacting with the skin. Overall, the skin should be clean and free from applied products.
- What Should Be Worn After The Tan Session?
Dark, loose fitting clothing, and sandals should be worn after tan is applied.
- How soon can I shower after an airbrush tan?
Try to allow 10-12 hours after your tanning session before showering. Ideally, the DHA application needs about 12 hours to reach its peak.
- How Do I Maintain My Tan?
After your tanning session wear loose fighting clothes for 6-8 hours without showering or sweating. Apply moisturizing lotion and body wash when showering. Refrain from scrubbing your skin, which results in slowly removing your tan. Moisturize daily afterwards. Hydrating your skin is essential in maintaining a longer lasting tan.
