Airbrush tanning is the newest trend for maintaining a safe, yet glowing tan. “This custom made bronzing effect is currently being used on celebrity backstage sets everywhere”. It is a great alternative to sun exposure, tanning beds, and even self tanning lotions that you can buy in stores. Both sun exposure and tanning beds can be extremely harmful to the skin, causing a development of wrinkles, freckles, moles, and even forms of skin cancer. Self-applied self tanning lotions can be frustrating because they are hard to apply and often do not provide the most desirable results.

Airbrush tanning is different from other methods of tanning because it is applied by a technician. When someone else is applying the tanning solution, you can be sure that all the desired areas you want to tan will be reached with a “more perfect” even application. This is not always possible with self-tanners. It is difficult to avoid that orange and streaky look when you apply it yourself. Airbrush tanning uses an ingredient called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that works by interacting with the dead surface cells found in the outermost layer of the skin, producing color changes. As the dead skin cells are naturally wearing off, the color gradually fades, just like a genuine sun tan. It won't rub off, or look orange or streaky.

Prevent your skin's premature aging with a natural looking airbrushed tan.   It lasts 5-10 days depending on your skin type and care. 

Airbrush Tanning Pre-Procedure Instructions

To get the most out of your tan, please exfoliate starting several days prior to your procedure, but not the day of the procedure.  The skin should be clean and free from lotions and oils.  Exfoliating the dead skin cells off your body prior to your procedure will create a good base for a longer lasting more even tan.   Areas that have an accumulation of dead skin tend to absorb more solution and will be darker.

Please bring a swim suit or under garments to wear during your session. Please keep in mind of tanning lines and plan accordingly…the tanning solution WILL come off your clothes!!! Please bring flip flops to wear as well!

The Airbrush Tanning Procedure
One coat is about a 20-30 minute session.  During that time the solution is sprayed onto your body in an even coat.  You will see yourself get instantly darker.  The solution includes a bronzer that shows an instant tan while the solution is developing on your skin.

Airbrush Tanning Post-Procedure Instructions

Allow 6-8 hours before bathing, showering, swimming and exercising as the solution will continue to react to your skin during this time period.

You should moisturize your skin with a moisturizer for the next several days.  Exfoliating after you have received your tan will make the tan wear off faster.  With proper care, your tan should last longer than a week!

Please note, tanning solution does not protect you against UV rays! Please remember to use sunscreen…
