 FAQ’s for Airbrush Tanning

Is sunless spray tanning safe?

Yes, it is. In 1973, the FDA approved Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a sugar cane derivative that results in the tan. When applied to the skin, DHA penetrates only the top layer of the skin and does not absorb into the body or bloodstream.

How long will my sunless spray tan last?

A sunless tan will usually last 5-10 days. To maximize the life of the tan, thoroughly exfoliate prior to application.

What is Customization of Color?

Color of the solution is customized (light, medium or dark) to fit your skin type. Several different solutions are also used to meet the needs of people with warm, cool and neutral skin tones.

How long does it take to see the results after the spray tan application?

With the Airbrush Express, it will take between 1 and 4 hours depending on skin tone (darker tones take longer to develop). Classic Airbrush, it will take between 6-8 hours.

Will spray tanning turn me “orange”?

No Way! Our airbrush solution will work perfectly on any skin tone, giving a natural golden glow or a deep, dark tan depending on your skin tone and occasion.

Will I break-out?

My skin is sensitive. This tan is incredibly gentle on the skin, as it is hypoallergenic, oil-free and alcohol-free. This is the right tan for the sensitive skin.

Is sunless tanning safe for pregnant women?

Not all sunless tanning solutions have been tested on pregnant women. Please consult with your doctor for permission to do spray tanning applications.

Will spray tan protect me from getting a sunburn?

No! When going into the sun, you must wear sun protection. The only way spray tanning will help to protect your skin is that it will not be tempted to sun bake since it will be already tanned.

Will spray tan be even if I have hair on my legs or arms?

Hair is not a problem. At the end of the tanning cycle you will notice droplets of solution on your hair, just towel this excess of the solution off with a towel provided.

Why should I choose spray tanning over tanning beds?

Tanning beds use high intensity UVA light bulbs to increase the body’s natural production of melanin. Melanin is the body’s pigment that causes the skin to have that glowing tan. The problem with the UVA bulbs is that they deliver the UVA in a much higher dose than what is normally found by being outside in normal sunny conditions. The increased exposure to UVA can cause premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancers.
