~ How much will it cost?
~ How does spray tanning work?
The active ingredient in spray tanning solutions is dihydroxyacetone (DHA).
DHA is a colourless solution which interacts with dead skin cells to produce a brown colour change over 8 hours after application.
Since these dead skin cells are constantly being shed, the colour change produced by DHA usually lasts about five to 10 days, sometimes longer.
The instant tanning effect is a temporary bronzer to give you an immediate glow and guide the sprayer.
It washes off after your first shower while the natural DHA induced tan remains.
~ What do I do before I get sprayed?
- shower and thoroughly exfoliate your face and body paying close attention to dry areas (ankles, feet, elbows, knees, hands and underarms)
- do all hair removal procedures at least eight hours beforehand
- remove all traces of deodorant, make up and perfume
- wear dark underwear, bikini or g-string
- wear dark, loose-fitting clothing to change into (tanning solutions wash out of most clothes very easily but may stain some materials) ~ How long will I be tanned for?
~ how long will you be tanned for?
Between five and 7 days depending on your skin type and your skin care routine.
To make you tan last longer:
- avoid activities which naturally exfoliate the skin like shaving, waxing, swimming and baths
- moisturise regularly
~ What do I have to do straight after I get sprayed?
- don’t exercise or do anything to
make you perspire for eight hours
- don’t shower for eight hours to allow the DHA to react
- don’t apply cosmetics until after your first shower |
