Spray tanning is a great way to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking tan without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays. This involves applying an active ingredient, DHA or dihydroxyacetone, to your skin using a specialist low pressure spray tan machine.

DHA is a sunless tanning agent and is the most popular way of achieving a natural looking tan without being exposed to the harmful UV rays of the Sun and is approved by the FDA for sunless tanning. DHA is a simple sugar which is derived from plant sources such as sugar cane. It causes a non-toxic chemical reaction with the amino acid groups, which are part of the keratin protein present in the outer most layers of the skin.

We use state-of-the-art equipment to evenly distribute the tanning solution, leaving you with a streak-free and seamless tan.

Before your spray tan appointment, it is important to prepare your skin properly. All hair removal and exfoliation of the skin should be carried out the day before to ensure that the solution adheres evenly to your skin. We also suggest avoiding wearing any makeup or lotions that could interfere with the tanning solution.

During your appointment, our technician will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for your tan, including how long to wait before showering and how to maintain your tan in the days following your appointment.

The depth of the tan will depend on the % strength of the DHA contained within the product. Overall depth and intensity of tan achieved will also depend on the consumers own natural melanin content and thickness of the skins stratum corneum. Where the stratum corneum is thicker, elbows, knees for example the reaction and tan is more intense, where the layer is thin, the face for example the tan is less intense. In order to achieve a uniform result you must remove loose scales from the skin before applying DHA.

The artificial tan immediately appears on the skin surface and will continue to darken over 24 hours depending on the formulation. Once the darkening effect has occurred, the tan becomes waterproof and will not wash away with soap or water. It will fade gradually over 5 to 10 days, in conjunction with the skins normal exfoliation process. Exfoliation, prolonged water submersion, or heavy perspiration can lighten the tan, as these all contribute to rapid dead skin cell exfoliation.
