FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Will spray tan protect me from getting a sunburn?
A: No! When going into the sun, you must wear high factor cream sun protection.
Q: Is the spray tanning solution safe?
A: Yes, All of the components in the spray tanning solution are approved by the FDA and have been used in food and cosmetics for many years. If you have an allergy to any of those products, your skin will also react to the solution. I always do a quick patch test for newbies just before a spray tan. Spray tanning, (sunless or instant tanning) is the safe alternative to sunbathing or sunbeds - because it is UV free.
Q: How brown will I get?
A: Everybody’s skin develops its own individual colour. Some people go very brown, others get just a glow. For those people, with repeated sessions, the skin tends to get used to solution, and starts to develop more colour. (You only need a few sessions to achieve this).
Q: How long will the tan last?
A: Depending on how well you prepare, and take care of your spray tan afterwards, about 5-10 days. If you tan regularly, your skin will get used to the spray, and will hold the colour longer. Then you might need a top up every 2 weeks or so.
Q: How soon after the spray tan can I shower?
A: Leave it on for at least 6 hours.
Q: My last spray tan was different than the previous one, even though it was done by the same person.
A: Again, it comes down to your skin. Your skin is a living thing, and is affected by many things like: time of the month, season, food you eat, stress, medication you take etc. If your tan is different, even though solution used was the same, the most probable cause is the condition of your skin.
Q: What if I have a very fair skin that has never been able to tan?
A: Hey, this is exactly why the spray tanning process was designed in the first place, for people that could not tan by any other method! You will get a fantastic colour with spray tan! Of course, people that tan easily will tan too.
