Contour Airbrush Spray Tan

What is a custom spray tan?

A custom spray tan is a 1-on-1, personalized, spray tanning session with a professional sunless technician.  The spray tech, using a high-pressure spray gun, will apply sunless solution to the areas you desire during your scheduled session.  Sessions often include full-body application, legs only, or facial sprays.

By allowing a professional to apply the spray solution you can ensure a flawless even application, especially on hard to reach areas such as the back.  Sunless sessions usually last around 15-30 minutes (this includes drying time) and results can be expected to last 5-7 days.

 

PREPARATION : THE DAY BEFORE YOUR SESSION

EXFOLIATE Before Each Session to Remove Dry, Flaky Skin.

Skin replaces itself in cycles naturally every 28 days. Twenty-five percent of skin is exfoliated each week, causing a UV-tan to slowly wear away. Sunless spray tans affect only the top twenty five percent of skin, so you will want to remove this extra skin prior to tanning. Spraying sunless products on dry flaky skin causes the tan to look less natural, uneven when fading and will shorten the life of your sunless tan. NOTE: Avoid using bar soaps, high pH shower products or in-shower moisturizers. These products can halt the DHA bronzing reaction or cause the dreaded “orange effect”. Any waxing should be done no less than 2 days prior to your tanning session. Also, elevated body temperature, perspiration or moisture on the skin can hinder DHA development and results.

 

PREPARATION : THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION

WEAR Dark, Loose Fitting CLothing and remove any jewelry. Tight clothes can run off or smear the bronzers.

Before you get an airbrush it is recommended that you exfoliate your skin the morning the you will get airbrushed in the shower. You can use a scrub or an exfoliating body polish. Then a water based moisturizer if you have one, if you don’t know if it is water based then don’t use it. Oil based moisturizer will not allow the solution to be absorbed by your skin. Oils, perfumes and deodarants also black the solution. It is also recommended that you call ahead and make an appointment or for a consultation.

 

After Your Session

Avoid Sweating!
Avoid activities that may cause you to sweat excessively and possibly cause streaking of the cosmetic bronzer.Use the air conditioner in your car on a hot day. Remember: you have just been tinted with a water soluble solution.

Avoid Water!
You must avoid water entirely for at least 4 hours or you will stop the tanning action of the DHA and/or cause streaking. Avoid chemically treated swimming pools and spas for at least 24-hours after your spray tanning session to prevent color from prematurely fading.

Cleansing:
After your tanning session, avoid using bar soaps or high pH products – they will strip and fade your tan rapidly. After bathing, gently “pat dry” your skin.
