Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work? The active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids on the outer most layer of the skin. This reaction causes the colour of the skin to change, producing a beautiful natural tan. DHA starts to react with the skin within 2 hours of the tan application and continues to do so for a total of 12 hours after which time you can wash.

How long does a Spray Tan last? Depending on a person's activities and skin type, the tan lasts approximately 5-10 days. With follow up applications, a person can maintain the tan indefinitely.

How do I prepare for a Spray Tan session? For the maximum result, before your session, shower and exfoliate the skin. Make sure your skin is free of perfumes, lotions, oils, deodorants, gels or any product on the skin that would create a barrier. Also, remove all jewelry (and don't put it back on until a few hours after your tan)!

What should I wear? Attire for women is whatever you are comfortable with. Many things can be done to minimise tan lines. The key is your comfort level. Attire for men is boxers, swim trunks or shorts. Your tanning specialist will use the utmost discretion. Loose fitting clothing should be worn after a spray tan. DHA can react with wool, nylon, and silk. These fabrics should not be worn during or immediately following your tanning session.
