Spray Tan

QUESTIONS?

WE'VE GOT ANSWERS...

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY SPRAY TAN?

Within 24-48 hours of your tan (night before/morning of) please shower, shave and exfoliate well with a non oil based cleanser (think squeaky clean). After your shower please avoid any lotions, deodorant and makeup (if makeup/deodorant is necessary for your day, please remove prior to tan), this can prevent your spray tan from absorbing properly.

​

*Shaving is best done the day or evening BEFORE your scheduled spray tan.

*Please avoid Dove and Bath & Body Works shower gels and body washes as these tend to block the tan from absorbing properly. 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR DURING MY TAN?

You may wear as little or as much as you'd like, realizing that anything you do wear will leave a tan line. The tanning solution does wash out of clothing, however we do recommend avoiding light/white colors. Disposable underwear, bra and nipple petals are provided if you'd prefer.
*Men-must wear boxers/briefs.

WHAT DO I WEAR AFTER MY TAN?

You'll want to wear dark, loose fitting clothing (preferably long pants and long sleeves), and flip flops (weather permitting). *You'll need to avoid getting wet for 6-8hrs for your tan to set and may shower the following morning (or after the 6-8 hours.

CAN I SPRAY TAN IF I'M PREGNANT?

It is our recommendation and requirement that our clients discuss sunless tanning with their doctor prior to any spray tanning appointments and receive their approval. We use a high quality sunless solution that is all natural and made with organic ingredients and trust in our solution's safety (see ingredient list below). We also provide our clients with all FDA recommended barriers including nose filters to prevent the inhalation of the sunless solutions.

WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN YOUR TANNING SOLUTIONS?

Purified water, ECO-CERT DHA (DiHydroxyacetone), Natural Caramel, Aloe Vera, Organic Green Tea, Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (natural coconut derivative), Vanilla.

DOES A SPRAY TAN PROTECT ME FROM THE SUN?

No. Spray tans offer no UV protection and Sinless Tan recommends all their clients use an SPF of at least 30 prior to spending time in the sun.

HOW LONG WILL MY SPRAY TAN LAST?

5-10 days. 
Spray tans naturally exfoliate as your skin exfoliates. The better you take care of your skin, the longer your spray tan will last. Make sure to moisturize daily with a non-oil based moisturizer, stay hydrated, and avoid exfoliants, including shaving.

CAN I SPRAY TAN IF I'M UNDER 18 YEARS OLD?

Yes, with a parent or guardian's permission.

WILL I LOOK ORANGE?

We use a high quality solution and customize the color to your skin tone, ensuring a natural, never orange, flawless tan.

CAN I GO SWIMMING WITH MY SPRAY TAN?

Your skin naturally exfoliates faster when exposed to water, therefore swimming or soaking for extended periods of time will decrease the life of your tan. 
Chlorinated water such as pools, also break down the spray tan and hot tubs will very quickly strip the tan from your skin. We recommend avoiding hot tubs and otherwise taking quick dips to cool off. We've had success with always making sure to apply a quality SPF prior to sun exposure which acts as barrier when swimming. Tan extenders for vacation are another option to keep your tan looking fresh without sacrificing your fun in the sun.

HOW MANY DAYS BEFORE A SPECIAL EVENT SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SPRAY TAN?

Spray tans should be scheduled two days before your special event. This gives the spray tan the full 24 hours of development time and a buffer day if you were to need any touch ups. It also allows for enough time to fully rinse the top cosmetic bronzing layer off as to not have it transfer onto any dresses/outfits for the special occasion.

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY WAXINGS/MANIS/PEDIS/ETC?

Due to the exfoliating nature of waxing and manis/pedis it is important these be done at least 24 hours prior to your spray tanning session.
