We are proud to now offer sunless spray tanning.
A healthy alternative to dangerous UV damage caused by traditional sunbathing or tanning beds.
Airbrush tanning gives you an immediate bronze glow, with the full affect of the self tanner in approximatly 6-8 hours. With a fine mist application you wont have the streaks and heavy areas that are common with a lotion, mousse or gel formula.
The active "tanning" ingredient DHA is a simple carbohydrate derived from sugar cane. DHA reacts with amino acids in the outer layer of your skin, forming a brown color. Approved in the 1970's by the FDA as a cosmetic ingredient, DHA has found a home in the tanning industry. Many improvements have been made in formulas, this is not your mom's or sister's old bottle of self tanner!
A developed tan can last up to 10 days. This depends on your skin type, preparation prior to the application and after care to the skin. The tan gradually fades as the dead skin cells slough off, just as in a normal tan.
Different concentrations of DHA are available and will offer various color ranges.
A lighter % of DHA would be recommended for fair skin, a medium % for skin tones that tan naturally, and a higher % for dark or olive skin tones.

Before your appointment:
* Shave or wax the night before your application
* Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate! Pay close attention to knees, tops of feet, elbows,
and hands. The smoother the skin the more even the tan and the longer it will last
* Wear dark loose fitting clothing to prevent any bronzer from rubbing off and to prevent any areas to sweat before your tan has a chance to develop.
* What you wear will depend on if you want tan lines or not, and upon your comfort level. You can choose to wear disposable bra and panties provided, a bathing suit or your own bra/panties. The solution washes out of most fabrics just fine; however it is not recommended to wear silk or satin.
* Skin should be free of make-up, deodorants, moisturizers, perfume/oils, or body sprays.
* Special Occasion: If your tan is for a special occasion, this may affect th timing of your appointment. I recommend that you have a trial spray no less than 3 weeks before your event so you know what to expect and how the color will develop.
Post tan care
* You must wait 6-8 hours before you can shower, this allows you tan to develop.
* Avoid applying moisturizers with hydroxy acids, this will make your tan splotchy and uneven.
* Do not shave for 12 hours after application.
* Swimming and vigorous excercise must be avoided for atleast 8 hours as this will inhibit the development of your tan.
* Do not wear tight fitting clothes including socks or tighter-fitting jeans for at least 8 hours.
Maintaining your tan
* Moisturize regularly, 1-2 times a day. This will keep your skin and your tan looking fresh.
* Do not use exfoliants or scrubs daily, every 3 days is ok. Just remember to be gentle!
* Avoid long hot baths, swimming pools, or seawater as these can reduce the life of your tan.
* Pat your skin dry, DO NOT RUB!
*Shave with a fresh new razor to avoid nicking the surface.
