| How does Sunless Airbrush Tanning work? |
| A sunless tan does not increase skin melanin levels like a "real tan." Our Airbrush Tanning Spray contains DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a sugar molecule that creates a tanned appearance in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). This stimulates a chain of chemical reactions that causes the cells in the epidermis to turn brown. We have different levels of color, and do not use an orange based solution.
Our tanning solution quickly and evenly covers your entire body for a personalized tanning airbrush application. This process is safe, UV-free, and perfect for anyone who wants healthy looking tan skin, without the risk of skin damage. Even if you've been unable to tan in the past because of freckling, skin conditions, a fair complexion, or safety concerns, you'll be able to safely get a beautiful tan that will make you feel and look great! The maximum generation of color is reached after 12 hours, so the color will continue to darken after the initial application. |

| How long will your AirBrush Tan last? |
| As with the results of UV exposure each of us will experience a different shade of color; the same is true about the effect of DHA. Since the results are predicated on your own protein levels, you can expect the color to last between 5 - 10 days. |

| Before-Tan Shower |
| Either the night before, or the morning of your tanning appointment,
shower normally, if you exfoliate - please very lightly and evenly, uneven exfoliation can lead to uneven fading. The best time to shave, wax, or have a pedicure or manicure is before your AirBrush Tan session. Lotions and foundation makeup can act as a barrier and prevent the tanning solution from completely contacting the skin. Do not apply any of these until you have had your first shower after your Airbrush session. |
|
| What to Wear |
| Wear loose fitting clothing to your tanning appointment where you will spend about 20 minutes. Men are required to wear underwear or swim/basketball shorts. The actual tanning takes about 8 - 10 minutes. |
|
| After-Tan Shower |
| Wait at least ten hours after your tanning application before showering. You need to allow enough time for the DHA reaction to take place. The tanning process peaks after 12 hours. |
|
| Maintenance |
| Apply moisturizer morning and evening after your daily shower. Hydrated skin is essential in maintaining a longer lasting tan. |
