IS A SPRAY TAN THE SAME AS A BASE TAN?
No. The spray tan does not contain SPF and will not protect your skin from getting burned. You must wear SPF when going outdoors. Only use lotion based sunscreen. Do not use sprays or oils.
HOW LONG DOES THE TAN LAST?
The tan will last about 7 days depending on how fast your skin exfoliates. The color will fully develop 8 hours after your spray tanning session. If you follow the care instructions the tan will last longer.
I HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT COMING UP, WHEN SHOULD I GET A SPRAY TAN?
If the event is a wedding you should spray the day before if you are a guest and 2 days before if you are a bride. If the event is a pool or beach party please spray at least one day before. If the event is at night you can spray the morning of the event if you do the Rapid Tan.

WHY CHOOSE SPRAY TANNING OVER UV TANNING?
Because spray tanning is safe and does not damage the skin. You will also get an even tan with no tan lines. UV rays cause cancer and wrinkles.
IS DHA SAFE?
Yes. The active ingredient in sunless tanning solution is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The FDA has tested and approved DHA for use on the skin.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY TANNING APPOINTMENT?
If you are a woman, you may tan in the nude or I can provide you with a disposable thong to wear. Please have a dark, loose fitting sundress and flip flops to wear after the tan, until your first shower. For men, please wear black underwear like a speedo, boxers, briefs, etc. Men may NOT tan in the nude. Please have a black cotton t-shirt or tank top and black cotton shorts as well as flip flops to wear afterward. Do not wear socks or closed toed shoes please.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO SHOWER AFTER MY SPRAY TAN?
For the regular solution you may wash your body after 8 hours. We recommend taking a water only shower first and start using sulfate-free body wash the following day. For the express solution you may rinse the body with water after only 90 minutes to 3 hours.
HOW DO I KEEP MY TAN FROM FADING?
Use a sulfate free body wash, do NOT use : barsoaps, loofahs, washcloths, or DOVE brand products. Please apply lotion after every shower to keep your skin moisturized. Please use at least 30 SPF sunscreen lotion so you do not burn.
CAN I SPRAY TAN WHILE PREGNANT?
Call your doctor as professional opinions vary.
CAN I GET A SPRAY TAN WHILE BREASTFEEDING?
Yes, but you will need to avoid skin to skin contact until after your first shower so the cosmetic bronzer does not transfer to the baby’s skin.
