Spray tanning is the ONLY healthy tan, plus:

1. You’ll feel good. Once you’ve left the tanning booth you’ll feel amazing about your skin and your body confidence will sky rocket. The moisturizing ingredients in our special spray tan formula will feed your dry skin and replenish it with a hydrating blend of natural substances – they smell amazing and they’ve been created to allow color development to occur quickly. As simple as it sounds, you will feel great when you look great, so seize the moment and book a luxurious treatment today.

2. You’ll hide your blemishes. A well applied spray tan can hide light scars and, in some cases, cover up stretch marks. If you apply some bronzer over the areas that need camouflaging a little more, you’ll be left with perfect sun kissed skin.

3. You’ll look slimmer. You’ll look slimmer. Spray tanning adds contour to the body. That means it can make your arms look leaner and your stomach appear toned. The parts of your body that you like can be enhanced by layering up applications and the areas that you don’t like can be disguised..

4. All year round color. You can achieve a streak-free tan at any time of the year if you opt for a sunless tanning session! No matter whether it’s snowing, raining or hailing outside you can look like you’ve just returned from a holiday in a sunny setting.

5. It’s safe. The ingredients in spray tanning formulas are non-toxic, which means you can apply them to the skin without worrying about the after effects. You will never have to be concerned about skin cancer or other illnesses that are related to over exposure to the sun.

FAQ's

How long will my tan last?

In general, a spray tan will normally last around 7 to 10 days. Certain things can lengthen or shorten this period. This all depends upon how well you follow the preparation advice and how well you follow the post tan advice.

Is there anything I should do to prepare for my spray tanning?

You should exfoliate each day and shave 24 hours before your spray tan. This will remove any dead skin cells and provide a smoother skin surface for the tanning solution.

Is there anything I should not use on my skin before my appointment?

Avoid scented oils, lotions, and makeup. Avoid anything that could seep into your skin as this can make your new tan uneven.

What should I wear to my appointment?

You should wear loose clothing in dark colors. Try to wear something that you don't care about, as it will get stained, more so if your solution has bronzer in it. The staining may wash out, but it's not guaranteed. Any bra should also be loose fitting and you may even want to leave it off after your tanning. Ensure you have flip flops for after tanning as it’s not advised to wear trainers or tight-fitting shoes.

Can I have a spray tan if I am pregnant?

If you are in the first trimester of pregnancy it isn't advised to get a spray tan without consulting your doctor.

Can I have a spray tan if I have had my eyebrows waxed and tinted?

I always advise having any waxing or tinting done at least 24-hours before your spray tan. Spray tanning on freshly tinted eyebrows can cause your eyebrows to turn orange.

When should I shower afterwards?

You should wait at least 8 hours before showering. It's important to avoid any swimming or sweating if possible. Do not apply any products or moisturize / avoid oil-based moisturizer, use oil free sunscreen too. Do not exfoliate before this first shower. All these things can make your spray tan uneven. No scrubbing, no baths, pat skin dry with towel, as if you rub it, your tan can come off.

Is there anything I shouldn't use on my skin after my treatment?

Avoid any scented lotions, perfumes and cleaning solutions with acid or peroxide. Anything harsh like this or any chemical will damage your tan quicker.

Is there anything I should use on my skin after my first shower?

Moisturizer is key! Fragrance-free and natural lotions are the best. This will ensure that your skin remains healthy, hydrated, and your spray tan will last longer.

What else can I do to make sure my tan lasts as long as possible?

When your spray tan is new, you need to avoid chlorinated water, as this can make your tan fade faster. Also, reduce the amount of shaving you do, as this works as an exfoliant and can make your tan fade. When your tan begins to fade naturally, you can start most of your daily skincare regime again.
