Frequently Asked Questions

What is Spray Tanning? How does it work?

Spray tanning involves applying an active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone, or DHA to your skin using a specialist low pressure spraying machine.

DHA is a colourless sugar.  It interacts with the proteins and amino acids in the outer layer of your skin to produce a golden brown colour (similar to the process that makes a cut apple go brown).

You will be sprayed with a lightly coloured solution (known as the guide colour) of DHA, but the actual tan takes 6-8 hrs to develop and the lightly coloured solution (or guide colour) will wash off when showering.

Is It Safe?

Yes, it is much safer than exposing your skin to the sun's rays, but you still get that great tanned look.  DHA has been approved by the FDA for use in the personal care industry for over 30 years.  No adverse affects have been reported other than minor skin irritations on allergic people.  Allergic reactions are extremely rare and if you have experienced allergic reactions to self-tanning or other beauty products please arrange a skin patch test with us first.

How Long Will My Sunless Tan Last?

Your tan will last approximately 5 to 7 days depending on your daily skincare regime and lifestyle.  A sunless tan fades just like a tan from the sun.  As your skin sheds dead cells, your tan will fade.  Be sure to use gentle products like Balance Body Wash in the shower to avoid stripping the colour – the silk protein in this formulation helps to retain moisture and prevent dryness that causes the skin cells to be sloughed off.

Prolong your tan with our unbeatable products and you’ll be able to look and feel amazing for the week ahead.

Do I Have To Get Naked?

No, it is entirely up to you.  If you don't want to get naked, we suggest you wear old dark underwear or a swimming suit/bikini that you don't mind staining (the product will wash out of cotton material).  For men boxers, shorts or swim trunks.  We do have disposable underwear available to purchase if your require it.

SPRAY TANNING BEFORE AND AFTER CARE:

Before:

The night before your tan, exfoliate with Balance Body Scrub, then moisturise with  Radiance Body Balm paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and any problem areas

Paint nails and toenails - especially if they are acrylics or similar

Wax/shave AT LEAST 24 hours prior to treatment to allow pores time to close.  Dotting in pores may appear if not adhered to (not a good look!)

Do not moisturise or apply skin lotions on the day of your tan

Ensure that all make-up, deodorant, lotions, perfumes etc are FULLY REMOVED before your tan (deodorant especially can turn a greenish colour if not removed prior to your tan).

After:

Bring and/or wear loose dark clothing for after your treatment, any tight clothing or underwear may cause wear marks

Wear flip flops or very loose fitting shoes (trainers or tight shoes may rub your tan off before it has had time to develop)

DO NOT shower or bathe for at least 8 hours (the development period) or preferably overnight

DO NOT exercise or swim during the development period

Try not to touch your skin during the development time as you may end up with tan on your hands and this will not come off.  Top tip:  wear a pair of loose fitting socks over your hands in bed

After showering with Balance Body Wash (specially formulated with silk protein so as not to strip your tan) pat dry only.  Some shower gels will strip your tan off prematurely. 

Moisturise, moisturise and moisturise some more.  Our Gradual Glowing Self Tan will ensure that your tan is being continually topped up and its life is extended. (Remember to wash your palms after use)

After 4 or 5 days, exfoliate with Balance Body Scrub.  This will help your skin absorb even more moisturiser and keep your tan looking and feeling gorgeous.

Please note:  long exposure to water and sweating from exercise will fade your spray tan.  Your outer cells will start to soak up water which dilutes the effect of the tan.  The longer you are in water the lighter your tan will get.
