How It Works
The primary active ingredient in the solution is a sugar derivative called DHA which when is sprayed on the top layers of your skin reacts with the amino acids thus creating a colour change similar to a UV sun tan. As your skin sheds the tan fades naturally between 5-7 days after application.
Before your Tanning Session
Wax/shave at least 24 hours before
Shower and exfoliate your body
Avoid heavy moisturising shower gels
Do Not apply moisturisers, deodorants, oil based products or perfume on the day of your Spray Tan
Wear loose dark clothing and open shoes, ie flip flops.
During your Spray Tan Session
You can wear as little or as much as you like. Whatever you feel most comfortable in. I advise you to wear suitable swim wear/underwear for desired result (if using underwear ensure its black as tan will not wash out of elastic/Lace garments
Attire for men is Swim wear/underpants
I will apply some barrier cream to your hands and feet and any other dry areas you advise me of
Do not touch skin while developing.
Aftercare
You can shower after at least 8 hours of the tan being applied
Pat dry with a towel. Do Not rub
Avoid water on skin while tan is developing
Avoid heavy exercise or any perspiration during development
Moisturise regularly to maximise duration of tan.
Who Should not get a Spray Tan
Women who are in their first trimester of pregnancy
Anyone who is allergic to self tanning products
Anyone who has severe breathing difficulties.
Allergic reactions are very rare, if you have experienced a reaction to self tanning products in the past or you are completely new to having a spray tan, please give me a call to arrange a patch test at least 48 hours in advance.
