HOW LONG SHOULD I EXPECT MY SPRAY TAN TO LAST?

YOUR TAN SHOULD LAST ANYWHERE FROM 7-10 DAYS.
The longevity of the tan is dependent also on the length of your showers, how often you exercise and sweat, the products you use (alpha hydroxy can wear a tan down faster) and if you did your due diligence on taking care of it (moisturize!). Everyones PH in their skin is different, so every case will be slightly altered,  Your tan should last you 7 to 10 days.  

WHAT SHOULD I DO PRE AIRBRUSH SESSION?

PRE TAN TIPS;

-Wax of shave 24 hours before your tan. 

-EXFOLIATING IS KEY!! Exfoliate at least 24 hours before your appointment, with a non- oil based product.  This allows your pores the time needed to close prior to your appointment.  Use a good mitt to ensure you are getting all the dry skin ( or last weeks spray tan off your skin) otherwise you are asking for splotches.  Also using organic products will help aid in helping the skin from drying out in certain areas.  Try avoiding any body washes or scrubs that are oil based (they can leave behind residue) DO NOT FORGET YOUR FACE & NECK! 

-FITNESS COMPETITORS; Exfoliate up to a week before the competition and also the day before to ensure all dead skin is removed.  Also remember to use an oil-free exfoliant. 

-All males must wear swim shorts.

 WHAT SHOULD I DO THE DAY OF MY TAN?

-DO NOT apply any lotions, oils, perfumes, body sprays,  deodorant or make up the day of your tan.

-warm water rinse only if necessary.

-dark loose fitting clothing is best to wear after your airbrush session.

-remove jewelry and style hair off of the face and neck.

-wear what you are comfortable in, for optional tan lines, or nothing at all.

WHAT SHOULD I DO POST AIRBRUSH SESSION?

-wait a minimum of 8 hours before showering, or perspiring.  24 hours is highly recommend.  If tan is to rub off on clothing or bedding it will not effect the tan and is water soluble which will wash out of clothing & bedding.

- do not exfoliate while bathing with a tan, unless you are ready to start shedding the tan off. 

-always pat dry the skin with towel after showering. 

-the more you moisturize with a non-oil based moisturizer the longer your tan will last.   like our organic tan extender available here....(currently SOLD OUT)

- gentle showers and not long hot baths will prolong your tan as well....soaking in any body of water will cause your tan to fade faster.

- Oil based products such as baby oil, mineral oil, alpha hydroxy acids, alcohol or acne washes will fade your tan.. try to avoid these oil based products. 

WHY DO SPRAY TANS LOOK DIFFERENT ON DIFFERENT PEOPLE?

-well first thing is to make sure your technician is evaluating your skin type to pick the proper color to match your skin tone.  Just like a perfume or cologne can smell great on one person and different on another the same is true with sunless tanning solutions.  Each person has a different PH of the skin, which will determine the chemistry it creates with the solution.  It will dictate the color depth, tone and length of the tan.   But if all pre-tan care is followed every client will achieve a great golden glow.  

ARE ORANGE TONES OR STREAKS SOMETHING I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT?

No. We make our solution with high quality DHA that is made from organic sugar cane as opposed to beta-carotene (carrot extract). This guarantees that your tan will be golden brown. In addition, our airbrush artists are highly experienced and trained to avoid streaks and unevenness.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A SPRAY TAN?

This is completely a self preference.   You can spray once a week or bi-weekly, but we do highly recommend that you exfoliate the best you can of your old tan prior to your session.
