Frequently asked questions

Spray tan solutions contain an active ingredient called Dihydroxyacetone or DHA. DHA is a simple carbohydrate that can be derived from natural sources such as beets and cane sugar. When applied to the skin DHA reacts with the amino acids on the top layer of your skin. This generates pigments in your skin called melanoids, which darken your skin colour (imitating a tan created by the sun). Your tan will gradually fade as you naturally shed dead skin cells, about 5-7 days.

Your tan will gradually fade as you naturally shed dead skin cells, about 5-7 days. Proper before and after care play a huge role in the longevity of your tan. Exfoliating a day before your tan is crucial for an even fade and longer lasting tan. After your first rinse make sure you moisturize twice a day with a tan safe lotion. This step will keep your skin hydrated, ensuring those skin cells take longer to shed, therefore holding onto that tan and keeping your skin glowing.

WHATEVER you are comfortable in! Nude, thong, g-string, bra and thong, booty shorts, bikini, bandeau.

NO! A spray tan will not protect your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays. You must ALWAYS wear and reapply sunscreen!!

To get the most out of your tan avoid hot tubes, pools, long hot baths and/or showers. When you do shower make it quick and always pat your skin dry. Use only spray tan safe lotions and body washes to prevent your products from stripping your tan and/or causing uneven fading.

Moisturize twice daily and increase your water intake, this helps your skin stay hydrated holding your tan for longer! Tan extenders are also a great option to extended the life of your tan.

My absolute favourite tan extender is our Hydrate Me Gradual Tanning Lotion.

Every appointment will take around 30 minutes. If it’s your first time coming in it could take a bit longer as you have to fill out a consent form, and then we talk about your skin, how it reacts to the sun and if you have any areas of concern. We will then decide on the depth of tan you’re looking for and mix you up a custom blend!
