What is  Airbrush Tanning?

Airbrush tanning is the newest phase in the application of self-tanning products. The bronzers made today are very natural looking and are completely harmless. These solutions include DHA (dihydroxacetone), which works by reacting with the keratin protein in the top (or dead) layer of your skin.

 

The solution is applied with the use of a low-pressure airbrush gun, by a technician, which allows for more even coverage than hand or spray booth application. The fine mist from the airbrush ensures a perfectly even application to the skins surface and as there is no rubbing or overspray from an automated booth setting, it avoids streaking, orange palms an dirty looking knees and elbows.

 

What is DHA?

DHA is a colorless derivative of sugar cane that has been DHA approved for more than 30 years. DHA darkens the skin by interacting with the amino acids in the dead surface cells found in the outer-most layer of the skin causing it to darken naturally.

 

Is Airbrush Tanning safe?

Yes! We use only the best, highest quality tools and products found in the industry. All of the ingredients in the solutions have been through extensive testing and are FDA approved. The ingredients in our solutions will give you a tan without the risk of wrinkles, skin damage or skin cancer.

 

What do I wear during my session?

You may wear lingerie (bra, underwear, thong, etc), a bathing suit or opt for no tan lines at all; we are profressionals. Do not wear silk, satin or nylon as the solution may stain these fabrics.

 

What do I wear after my session?

Wear loose fitting, dark, cotton clothing as the water soluble instant bronzer may rub off on clothing until your first post-tan shower. DO NOT wear denim of any kind directly following your session! Jeans, tight pants and tight fitting undergarments  such as under wire bras or sports bras should not be worn directly after tanning if at all possible. (These garments are made to fit snug, and may leave a 'tan' line where there wasn't one before) If you are coming to our location and need to wear footwear, non-leather flip flops are best. Tennis shoes are too snug and will erase your tan before it has a change to develop. If you are coming to our location in the winter months, loose clog-style shoes are optimal.

 

How long will my Airbrush Tan last?

Your Airbrush Tan will last 7-10 days depending on how well you take care of your skin and also depending on your skin type and activities. For maximum results, be sure to follow the recommendations for preparing and maintaining your Airbrush Tan. Instructions will be given to you at the end of your session to provide you with guidelines on how to maintain your tan as long as possible!

 

How often can I get an Airbrush Tan?

You may get an Airbrush Tan as often as you like. Most people like to get airbrushed once a week and it is completely safe to do so.

 

Is Airbrush Tanning recommended for pregnant women or nursing mothers?

Although there is no evidence that any of the ingredients in our tanning solution would cause a problem, please check with your doctor prior to receiving an Airbrush Tan.

 

Will your solution stain my clothes?

Wool and light colored nylon fabrics are definitely candidates for staining. Other light colored fabrics, such as cotton, may initially stain, but the solution should wash out easily. We suggest wearing dark clothing to your tanning session, and remaining in dark clothing until initial reaction time is past and you are able to shower.

 

Does my Airbrush Tan protect me in the sun?

Our sunless tanning solution DOES NOT include any sunscreen or protection from the sun. You must use a topical sunscreen to protect yourself from harmful UV rays.

 

Can I work out immediately after my tan?

To make your tan last as long as possible, working out immediately after a tanning session is not recommended. After the initial 8 hours following your tan, you may shower, work out, get wet, sweat, whatever you would normally do!

 

How far in advance should I get my Airbrush Tan for my wedding?

We recommend a minimum of 24-48 hours prior to any special occasion. This allows time for your initial post-tan shower any inital rub-off that may occur.
