Airbrush Tanning Preparation and Consultation
To prepare for your upcoming tanning session make sure your skin is free of any moisturizers, lotions, creams, oil or make-up before we arrive!
We also recommend that you exfoliate your skin to remove all dead skin cells prior to our arrival. For the tanning session wear a dark bikini or any undergarment which will give you the desired tan lines. Of course, you may undress completely if you prefer no tan lines at all. Remember to have a change of clothes ready to slip into immediately after tanning (dark, loose clothing is best).
Before we begin airbrushing we'll help you choose a skin tone and recommend procedures and products to help you maintain your new tan, as well as the health of your skin. We take pride in offering tanning sprays and lotions containing natural ingredients like Aloe Vera, Green Tea, Chamomile, Oregon Grape, Ginkgo Biloba and Rose Hip.
Airbrush Tanning Application
Applying our specially blended tanning formula is easy with our professional airbrush.
Our FDA approved formula is not a dye and will not rub off on your clothes or wash off
in the pool. It fades gradually, just like a suntan, and usually lasts up to two weeks,
depending on your skin.
Our secret formula includes a bronzer - a temporary coloring
agent - which allows us to immediately see an approximation
of the skin tone you will have once the tanning agent (DHA)
takes effect about 8 hours after application. Without
the bronzer our tanning experts would be applying the formula
blind, since it takes time for the actual, golden tan
to be seen. The bronzer is meant to wash off, leaving behind a deep, bronze skin tone.
Our tanning formula contains an active ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a
colorless sugar that darkens the skin through staining. DHA, which has been approved
by the FDA for over 30 years for cosmetic applications, reacts with amino acids in the
outermost layer of the skin, producing color changes in the dead surface cells found there.
As these dead skin cells naturally wear off, the color gradually fades, just like a genuine
sun tan.
Airbrush Tanning After Care
Wait at least 8 hours before showering or rinsing your body after your tan is applied.
At your first shower after tanning, expect about 25% - 30% of the tan to wash off. This is
normal and helps blend in any dark areas. We recommend you wear dark, loose clothing immediately
following your tanning session, until your first shower. And keep a towel handy around the house
and in the car, since the bronzer (temporary coloring) may rub off.
Your new tan is now complete. It will fade slowly over the
next week or two. Make sure to moisturize your skin after
every shower and, if you're going outside in the sun, apply
sun block as you normally would to protect your skin from the
sun's harmful UV rays. Keep your skin healthy and your
tan will look better and last longer.
