What is Tanning Basics?

Tanning takes place in the skin’s outermost layer, the epidermis, with special cells called melanocytes. When exposed to UV-B light (short wave ultraviolet), melanocytes produce the pigment, melanin. The pinkish melanin travels up through the epidermis and is absorbed by other skin cells. When exposed to UV-A light (longer wave), melanin oxidizes or darkens. This is your skin’s way of protecting itself against too much UV light.

Why Does A Tan Fade?

Cells in the epidermis are constantly reproducing and pushing older cells upward toward the surface of your skin, where they are sloughed off in about one month. As your skin replaces its cells, the cells laden with melanin are removed. So the tanning process must continue with the new cells.

Why is indoor tanning better than outdoor?

Speed – It doesn’t take all day to get a tan indoors. Depending on your skin type, just a few minutes, not hours. Maintain your tan for as little as 60 minutes a month. Control – Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to monitor and scientifically control your ultraviolet UV-A and UV-B exposure. We make sure you tan and not burn. Climate – Overcast, rainy, or 109 degrees in the shade, you never have to worry about the weather with your pleasant, climate-controlled environment.

Be Safe. Tan Smart

Lip and eye protection – Lips don’t produce melanin and eyelids are too thin to block UV. That’s why it’s important to wear lip balm with sunscreen and protective eye goggles. Eyewear must be certified and approved by the FDA. We offer a selection of goggles that meet these Federal standards. You can avoid “Raccoon Eyes” by gently adjusting your goggles while you tan, but never remove them completely. Outdoors – When you tan outdoors, you are exposed to uncontrolled and often excessive amounts of multi-frequency UV that can cause “sunburn” and permanent damage. When you are outside, wear appropriate protection. Medication – Some medications can cause reactions with UV light. If you are taking any medications, please let your doctor know you’re tanning.

For tan maintenance, Sunless Tan once every 5-7 days. For darker results, wait 48 hours between each session. Follow the After Sunless Session tips for best results. Spray tan will gradually fade to natural lighter tones.

Since Sunless Tanning reacts differently on each person’s skin, we recommend 2 Sunless trial sessions with our specialists before any big event. Learn how to properly apply blocking lotions, become familiar with the Sunless misting poses, and learn how to blot dry and maintain your tan for more even results. Let our service provider know about the event and any skin tone desires. Sunless tans last around 5-7 days. After a trial Sunless session, inspect skin daily in sunlight and various low light situations to determine which day works best to determine when to have a Sunless session prior the event. Most like to have their Sunless session two days before their event and shower 3 times to balance out the color. Follow our other tanning tips for best results.

Prior to Sunless Session:

  1. Shave or Wax 12 to 18 hours prior to our Spray Tan session. Hairs block the solution. Allow time for pores to close for a smoother overall appearance. Also the extra time allows the skin to return to its normal pH level prior to the session.
  2. Exfoliate (plus Hot Soke is Ideal): For a more even, richer tan, and to remove dead skin cells.
  3. Have Clean Skin: Make sure skin is free of perfume, make-up, deodorant, lotion, moisturizer, oil, bronzers, etc., so the Sunless product is not hindered by barriers and can be the most effective. Clean skin reduces the risk of streaking.
  4. Apply Nail Polish to Fingernails and Toenails: Polish helps block solution and prevents yellowing nails.
  5. Use a pH Balancing Spray* (sold separately): *For those with natural Red and Orange tone skin. A pH Balancing Spray will lower pH to maximize natural Brown and Black skin pigments. Works for UV tan also!
  1. Wear Dark, Loose Fitting Clothing: Dark clothes minimize potential stains from DHA solution. A loose fit reduces clothes rubbing away a fresh tan.
  2. Keep Skin Dry for 6 Hours: Allow the DHA to develop. Wait 6 hours before showering, and avoid sweating, entering any water, or applying makeup. For maximum results, you may wait up to 24 hours to shower. A simple rinse with warm or cool water is best.
  3. Cool or Warm Showers and Blot Dry: Avoid hot showers and vigorous towel drying.
  4. Hydrate Before and After: Hydrated skin simply looks better. Flaky skin sheds and reduces the life of any tan. Hydrate daily for healthy looking skin.
  5. Avoid Pool Chemicals and Salt Water: Chlorine, Bromine, and Salt Water reduce the effectiveness and cause premature fading of a Sunless tan..
  6. Avoid over Shaving or Scrubs: Protect against exfoliation, which fades Sunless tans.
  7. Moisturize Daily with Oil Free Products: Only use products and body washes that complement Sunless tans. Products with Mineral Oil and Sodium Laureth Sulfate can significantly reduce the life of a Sunless tan. Ask our sales staff for recommendations.

 *Sunless tans do not protect you from sunburn.
