FAQ
How does it work?
The airbrush tan is applied to clean and exfoliated skin using professional equipment and tanning solution. The equipment consists of an air compressor, a hose, an airbrush spray gun and smaller tool for body contouring and make-up. We have a pop-up tent for full body airbrush tans to assure a completely mess free and hassle free experience for clients. Our equipment and services are designed for ease & mobility.
How long does it take?
The entire process takes about 25 minutes. A full body tan only takes about 10 minutes to actually apply, however we like to allow time for set-up, drying, and questions as well.
How long does it last?
About 4-10 days depending on the products you use on your skin ( check out our Products & Presents Page to view and purchase some of the best products available ), your skin type, how well you take care of your tan, etc..
What should I wear?
During your tanning session, it is your choice as to what you are most comfortable wearing...
For ladies: your own swim wear or lingerie or if you prefer no tan lines that is no problem.
For gentlemen: you must wear some form of bottoms.
We have a very professional staff and assure that we will do what it takes to make you comfortable during your session. Disposable hair caps are available and may be necessary for lighter hair types.
After your tan plan to wear dark colored clothes that are not snug or tight on your body.
All of our products will come out of your clothing if washed properly.
What should I do or NOT do before my appointment?
YOU MUST EXFOLIATE before your appointment for optimal results!
DO NOT wear any lotions, perfumes, creams, or any product on your skin. Doing so will create a barrier on the surface and your tan will not fully adhere to your skin or settle evenly...
Come clean shaven for best results.
Waxing, massages, facials, or mani/peid's should be done at least one day before your tanning session.
Tanning is acceptable for those with eczema, psoriasis, or cuts and abrasions. However, a flawless airbrush tan is not guaranteed. If you are pregnant please check with your doctor before tanning.
How do I care for my tan?
- Wait 6-8 hours before taking a shower. You may notice there will be a slight 'wash off' of product, but this is normal.
- Keep your skin moisturized!!! Moisturize twice a day with an alcohol free lotion. Hydrated skin makes your tan last longer.
- Avoid exfoliating your skin, hot tubs, hot showers or baths, facial strips, dull razors, waxing, or bleach products.
Another way to boost the life of your tan....Tan Extender Lotion
Our tan extender will freshen your tan.
If you have uneven fading or streaks gently exfoliate the darker area to blend in your tan.
What are in the solutions we use?
The FDA approved active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), reacts with the proteins in the outermost layer of your skin to produce a golden brown color. DHA has been used safely over the years in numerous sunless tanning products and is recommended by the Skin Cancer Organization, American Academy of Dermatology, The American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association.
The product we use is the most widely recognized brand of high quality spray tanning solution and equipment in the industry. Our solution delivers a flawless tan, with a perfect mahogany color, for all skin types.
