- 01
Our solutions contain no sunscreen. You must still apply sunscreen with UV protection before prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- 02
Yes! You will still be able to achieve a “real” tan through your spray tan. Remember to wear sunscreen! If you choose to tan in a tanning bed on the same day that you spray tan, we recommend tanning in the tanning bed first.
- 03
Absolutely, DHA, the main ingredient that creates the color on your skin, is actually a sugar! It has been tested by the Food and Drug Administration and deemed safe for external use only. We recommend precautions such as nose/mouth filters and protective eyewear (provided by us) to avoid any accidental ingestion. Women who are pregnant or nursing should always consult their physician before recieving a spray tan.
- 04
Everybody’s skin reacts differently to our tanning solutions. Some people turn very brown, while others get a more golden glow. My tans can be applied to achieve light, medium, or dark color and the base solution we use for our airbrush tans is chosen based on your particular skin pigment. People who spray tan regularly tend to get darker, as the skin naturally begins to react better to the product. You only need a few sessions to achieve this.
- 05
We do not recommend this approach. In fact, spray tanning over an existing spray tan can make you look blotchy, especially when the tan starts to fade. We recommend at least five days between sessions and we recommend exfoliating your old tan off before receiving a new tan.
- 06
Depending on how well you exfoliate before the tan, and take care of your skin afterwards, the average spray tan lasts 7 days. Dry skin will not hold the tan as long, and will fade “unevenly.” For regular color , we recommend tanning once a week and exfoliating your old tan off the night before you come in.
- 07
There are a number of factors that can affect the way your tan fades because there are many conditions that can alter your skin. Weather , oil on your skin produced by foods you eat, stress and medications, how well you exfoliated before the tan, the quality of the moisturizer you used after your tan, etc.
If your tan starts to fade in some areas but not others, I recommend exfoliating the tan off of those areas so your skin looks smooth and not “patchy.” Also, going TOO dark for your natural skin tone will always look more obvious when fading (think dark hair being dyed bleach blonde… the roots are more obvious when they grow back).
- 08
The spray tanning solution is FDA tested and considered safe for external application only. We recommend consulting your physician before tanning during pregnancy or while nursing.
- 09
You are the perfect candidate for spray tans! Many of our clients are not able to get “natural” color from the sun and they get a fantastic color that looks very real from our spray tans! We recommend first-time tanners start with light or medium so they know how their skin will react, then they can gradually go darker. Remember, darker tans are more obvious when they fade.

It shouldn’t, but to be safe I apply barrier cream to your finger nails and toe nails. I always wipe your nails clean with a towel at the end of your tanning session to ensure a perfect tan!
- 11
I recommend waiting at least 24 hours before going swimming. Both chlorine and salt water will affect your tan differently and might reduce the length of your tan. Chlorine is harsh on your skin, and might make the tan fade faster and typically uneven. I suggest keeping swimming sessions short, and also moisturize generously before getting in.

Please wear long, dark, lose fitted clothing after you tan- tight clothes can potentially cause unwanted lines. During your session you may wear as much or as little you are comfortable with. If you choose to leave under garments on please make sure they are dark in color (the solution washes out of most clothes - but it is always better to be safe).

Noooooo. Please don't Just trust me. Okay?
