One of the newest and safest ways to get the tan that you’ve always wanted is a spray tan.  The customized spray tan formula is applied by a tanning salon technician, not a machine in a booth, giving you an even application.  An even application spray tan eleminates streaking and a natural tanned appearance.  You may wear a swim suit or nothing at all.  We use a proprietary organic spray tan formula with varying DHA contents from 5% to 12% to custom formulate for your skin tone and type.  The tanning salon technician will help you decide on the darkness and proper DHA formula that is right for your skin type.  In use since the 1960's, DHA  (dihydroxyacetone) is a FDA approved substance, when applied to the skin, causes a chemical reaction in the skin to produce a tan. This process is harmless and has the same effect on the skin as the sun, except it doesn’t come with the harmful and damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays. The process usually takes around 15 minutes and the bronzing results can be seen immediately after the initial application and your spray tan will last between 5 to 10 days.

Here are some tips to remember when getting a spray tan:

-  Don’t apply any moisturizer or lotion before going to your session. These substances can block and prevent the spray from making  
             contact with your skin. The same also applies to your face, so don’t wear any makeup when going to a spray tan session.

- Sit on a towel or a piece of cloth after your tanning session. You should avoid sitting directly on leather or  seats  and other types of
              furniture covered with light fabric.

- A long hot bath or a soak in the swimming pool can speed the exfoliation process and cause your tan  to fade,  so don’t take long baths 
              or go for a swim. If you want to do these things, do them before exfoliating for your tanning salon session.

- Do not exercise or engage in strenuous activities that may cause you to sweat after your spray tan session as excessive perspiration  
               has an affect the tanning process.
 
- Don’t use products that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids. This substance accelerates the rate of exfoliation and will cause your tan to fade
               faster.

- To keep your spray tan alive, hydrate your skin with lotions or moisturizers in between tanning salon sessions. This can also help your
              spray tan fade at an even rate.

- Consult your physician before having a spray tan if you are pregnant. Bring a written certification from your physician stating his 
                approval for the tanning salon to keep on file.

- Keep your skin healthy by loading up on moisturizers. You can never go wrong with using a hydrating product. Remember, healthy skin
                is glowing skin, so keep your skin in the pink and away from harm


- Try to stay out of direct sunlight, but if you can’t help but go out into the open, wear sun block at all times.  Try to use hats and if possible, wear t-shirts - these clothing items also provide some degree of protection from the sun’s harmful rays.
