DHA is an acronym for Dihydroxyacetone. DHA is the active ingredient found in all sunless tanning products. A simple carbohydrate (monosaccharide sugar) compound approved by the FDA for use in externally applied sunless tanning solutions. DHA is usually derived from a vegetable source like beets or sugar cane. Its properties as a skin darkener were discovered in the 1920′s but weren’t marketed as such until the 1960′s. It was added to the FDA’s list of approved cosmetic ingredients in the 1970′s. Note: DHA has only been approved for external use by the FDA. The FDA recommends wearing protective eyewear, nose plugs, lip balm and undergarments during your spray tanning session to eliminate inhalation or ingestion. Wearing these during your spray tan session is not mandatory, and is up to your discretion.
We ask prior to your session you shower, shave & exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment. Always use a non-oil based exfoliant to properly even the skin’s surface.
Always shave or wax at least 24-48 hours before your session rather than the day of your session. Shaving/Waxing opens up the pores and they need to be closed for the tanning application.
The day of your tan, remove all lotion, make-up, perfume & deodorant that may act as a barrier to prevent even application of your tan.
You can wear whatever makes you feel comfortable during your airbrush tanning session. If you decide to wear a swimsuit, bra, or underwear please make sure they are dark-colored. Men must wear dark-colored shorts or swim trunks. Our solution should wash out of most fabrics but is not guaranteed.
Please wear dark loose fitted clothing to your session. No jeans, yoga pants, socks, tennis shoes, or any tight clothing.
Our regular luxe airbrush tan you can shower in 6-10 hours. Our rapid luxe airbrush tan you can shower in 2-4 hours depending on your desired result. Please do not sweat or swim until after you have rinsed. Your first rinse should only be with water.
After showering, apply moisturizer. Hydrated skin retains the tan longer. Pat, do not rub your skin dry and make sure to moisturize daily. We sale products in store to help prolong the life of your tan!
