Why Sunless Tanning?
We are now aware of the damaging effects of tanning beds & the sun’s harmful rays to our skin. As a result, more and more people are opting for UV free sunless tanning. In under 15 minutes you can have a safe and beautiful tan, achieving the same results as countless days in the sun, without the aging effects. Celebrities have been using airbrush spray tanning for years, now it’s available to you.

WHY INDOOR UV TANNING IS OUT & UV FREE IS IN! (Watch this video)



What Is Airbrush & Spray Tanning?
This tanning is a unique sunless tanning application performed by a Trained & Certified technician who will spray a DHA tanning Solution onto your body.


What is the solution and how does it work?
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a colorless by-product of sugar cane, 100% natural and completely safe, approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the Skin Cancer Foundation in the US, and accepted by the Spanish Ministry for Health and the Spanish Association of Cosmetic Medicine and Surgery (AEMCC).  It is not a dye or a pigment, unlike the classic self-tanning lotions, so everyone achieves their natural tan, without any orange streaks.

Skin regenerates completely every 28 days, and the superficial layers of the skin (which account for almost 25%) are exfoliated and renewed naturally every 7-10 days. This explains why this type of tanning lasts between 7 and 10 days, depending on the moisturizing and care applied.

You will continue to tan for up to 6 hours after your session. In addition, our solution contains a cosmetic bronzer, (a temporary coloring agent), which washes off leaving behind a deep, bronze skin tone. Allergic reactions are rare, but consult with your physician before your appointment should you have any concerns.

Can pregnant or nursing mother's get a Sunless Tan?
Although Spray Tanning is Safe and Natural, I ask that If you are pregnant or nursing to please consult with your Doctor. If you are in your first trimester, a Doctors consent form is required.

How long does the tan last?
The tan lasts between 5-10 days, but it really depends on your skin type and how well you moisturize after.
However, this can be extended by using a tan extender containing DHA, which will prolong the tan.

We also offer products to help prepare, maintain & extend the length of your tan.



How do I prepare for my tan?
It is best to lightly exfoliate your skin and shave/wax at least 8 hours before. This promotes even coverage and lengthens the duration of your tan by removing dead skin that would otherwise flake off. Pay special attention to rough skin areas such as the elbows, knees, ankles, and tops of the feet. Do not wear makeup, moisturizer, deodorant, lotions, etc. which can act as a barrier to the spray and stops the process from working properly. We recommend wearing dark, loose fitting clothing and undergarments to your appointment.



What do I wear to/ during the session?
Most clients wear loose fitting, comfortable, dark colored clothes & undergarments or bathing suit. A disposable mask, hair cap & goggles will also be provided.  The topical bronzer may rub off on clothing but it will wash out of most fabrics.

What do I need to do after the session?
Wait at least 8 hours before showering, exercising, or using a pool. (don’t get caught in the rain !!)  Most importantly, moisturize morning and evening on a daily basis after your tan, and avoid Dove soap & moisturizers containing AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid). Also avoid long hot showers and baths, excessive cleansing can dull the affects.
Chlorine in pools & hot tubs can decrease the longevity of your tan too.

For best results, use a Hydrating Moisturizer or Tan Extender with DHA, which we have available for purchase .


Do I still need to wear sunscreen?

Yes!  A spray tan does not provide UV protection, so you should apply sunscreen accordingly. Your skin will look tan but it is still exposed and vulnerable to the sun. If you choose to expose your skin to UV rays, it is important to use a lotion with SPF to protect you from the sun’s harmful rays.

Not all sunscreens are created equal.  This is what I recommend.
