What is a custom spray tan?

A custom spray tan is a consultative one-on-one process with a qualified tan technician. Each tan is personalized according to one’s unique skin tone and preferences.  The technician uses a specialized spray applicator, which evenly coats the sunless solution to the body.

By allowing a professional to apply the spray solution you can ensure a flawless even application, especially on hard to reach areas such as the back.   A spray tan sessions including drying time usually takes 10-15 minutes and results can be expected to last 7 – 10 days

In order to achieve the best tan possible we recommend taking the following steps:

Prior to a tan

One should exfoliate paying special attention to dry areas especially knees and elbows, all hair removal should take place at least at least a few hours in advance. Skin should be clean and free of any make up, moisturizers and deodorant.

After Application

Please remember to bring dark loose fitting clothes for after your tan. It is recommended not showering for a prescribed amount of time after the spray tan is applied this generally ranges from 1 – 8 hours  (you should ask your tan technician if unsure)

In terms of tan preservation we advise avoiding beach sand, swimming in chlorinated water, hot baths with harsh soaps or other activities that cause skin exfoliation. Moisturizing is crucial to maintaining the longevity of your tan.
