Imagine a beautiful tan without baking in
the sun or tanning bed. No burns, no wrinkles, no exposure to harmful UV rays. Airbrush tanning is a quick and
easy way to obtain a healthy, natural looking tan without damaging your skin.
Because real isn’t
always better
A natural tan produced by UV rays accelerates the skin aging process,increasing the number of
age spots and hastening the formation of wrinkles. Whether UV exposure is from the sun or tanning beds, it is extremely damaging
to your skin.
The process
With airbrush tanning, you have the option to
tan your entire body or just a selected area (legs, torso, or face).
Using an airbrush, a technician gently
mists a water based, DHA tanning solution onto the exposed skin. After just a few minutes of drying time you are
on your way!
Your skin will begin to darken within 2
to 3 hours after application, and will reach peak color at 24
hours.
What is DHA?
The active tanning ingredient, DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) works with the proteins and amino acids in the top layer of the skin
to produce a rich, healthy tan. This natural sugar is the active ingredient in virtually every sunless tanning product. DHA
has been FDA approved for external use for several decades.
Benefits of using an airbrush
Because the airbrush is small and lightweight, it
allows a technician to manipulate those hard to reach places and achieve an even tan (underarms, inner thighs etc).
It also allows a technician to apply as little or as much solution necessary to satisfy different skin types and
surface areas (elbows, knees).
How long does the tan last
Depending on the skin
type, activity level, and care taken to moisturize the skin, a tan will last 5 to 8 days. Like a suntan, the sunless
tan will fade gradually until your next application. A tan extender containing DHA is recommended to keep skin hydrated and prolong
your tan.
Expected
Results
Once your tan fully develops
(approx. 24 hours), you can expect a rich golden brown color. The level of color achieved however, differs depending
on skin type. The darker you tan naturally, the darker you can tan with airbrush tanning.
Maintaining your tan
How often you will need to update your tan will depend on several
factors:
1. Skin Condition: Some people
flake a lot, and some do not. Oily skin will retain a tan longer than dry skin.
2. Exfoliation: It is important to exfoliate your skin properly the day BEFORE your tanning
session to avoid uneven and premature fading.
3. Tight Clothing: Any piece of clothing that generally chafes the skin will cause the tan to rub off.
4. The less time you expose your tan to water the longer it will last.
5. Keeping your skin moisturized is essential to prolong your tan and to avoid fading unevenly.
We highly recommend using a tan extender with DHA to keep your skin hydrated and extend the life of your tan.
6. For maximum results, avoid shaving just before your tanning
session.
7. The time of year
will affect your skin and therefore, your tan. As your skin changes with the seasons you will need to keep dry skin
moisturized.
8. Avoid long hot baths
or showers as they can accelerate the exfoliation process and cause your tan to fade unevenly.
Before Your Session
- Shower, shave, and exfoliate
your body the day before your session .
- Do not use moisturizer or deodorant.
- Wear dark swimwear
or undergarments and loose dark clothing. Avoid wearing fine fabrics, silk or linens as the tanning solution can stain
clothing. Also avoid wearing make-up. Your tan will develop better when applied directly to clean skin.
After Your Session
- Do not shower for at
least 12 hours .
- A color change may be noticeable within a few hours of application though peak darkening
will take 24 hours to develop. If a darker color is desired, several successive applications may be performed.
- Avoid hard workouts, excessive sweating, swimming pools, and rain for 12 hours following your session.
- Your tan should last until the dead skin cells slough off, usually 5-8
days with a single application. We recommend using a tan extender to prolong your tan .
- To maintain
your tan, we recommend follow-up sessions every 4-6 days.
