The active
ingredient in our solution is Dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA and
is a sugarcane derivative. When DHA is applied to the skin it causes a
chemical reaction with the amino acids in the first layer of the skin to
produce a tan, just as the sun would. DHA will bronze the skin without the
damaging affects of UVA and UVB exposure to the sun.
Is Airbrush tanning safe?
Yes! DHA has been used in sunless
products since the 60's and is FDA approved!
How long will my tan last?
Our solution has a deeper penetration system which
creates a longer lasting tan, usually anywhere from 6-10
days depending on the type and dryness of your skin.
Will my Tan look orange or fake?
NO, no carrots here! A customized fine mist
is sprayed on the skin and blends instantly. It is
applied over the body and face with no streaks, blotches
or that wet feeling.
What should I do BEFORE
tanning?
Shower and exfoliate! By exfoliating you are removing the dead skin
cells as well as excess body oils that would inhibit
the solution from absorbing. A gentle body loofa or
other body scrub while in the shower will do the
job, and if you don't have anything to exfoliate
with you can purchase items from our shop.
Use a mild soap Soap can alter the pH of your skin which in
turn can affect DHA. We provide exfoliating wipes for
$1.00 if
you are unable to exfoliate prior to your
appointment.
Shave or wax Solutions will
stick to body hair therefore reducing the
effectiveness of the spray and leaving an uneven
tan. Allow time to heal after waxing (a day or so
will work). Shaving is fine until the day of your
appointment.
Skin is clean and is free of
sweat... Don't use any oils, toiletries, residues and
lotions (deodorant, perfume, makeup...). For best
results come as clean as possible. Also elevated
body temperature, perspiration or moisture on the
skin can hinder DHA development and results.
What should I do AFTER tanning?
Allow about 5-10 minutes for the skin to dry before
getting dressed in loose, comfortable clothing.
Do
not shower for at least 6-8 hours (depending on
formula) to allow for a deep penetrating tan. (we
like to say no less than 8 hours!)
Refrain from perspiring 6-8 hours after the mist
application for best results.
Make sure to moisturize after your shower as much as
your hearts desire, this will extend the life of your
tan.
If
possible avoid any creams/lotions or scrubs designed
to exfoliate your skin until you are ready for your
tan to come off.
What should I wear after the
tan?
We recommend dark, loose, cotton clothing after
your tan. The solutions may rub off slightly
while dressing but will wash out easily. Some
materials such as silk, nylon, and leather can
stain.
How long does the procedure take?
You'll be in and out in less than 25 minutes.
The spray takes about 15 minutes and then 5
minutes drying time and you have a sexy natural
looking tan!
