More About Sunless Tanning,
Sunless Tanning is the hottest new
craze taking the beauty industry by storm and it's here to stay. Like anything else new, exciting and popular, thousands
of people have rushed to take advantage. The results, from a customer perspective, vary according to the training, skill,
commitment of the airbrush technician, as well as the quality of the products applied.
Booth
vs. Technician Application
Airbrush tanning allows for a more personalized and precise application of the solution.
we can add more solution to areas where the sun would naturally, such as the bridge of the nose, cheekbones, and
shoulders. because the tanning solution is applied by your own personal technician, there will be no "missed" spots
or uneven areas that can occur otherwise, as solution application is monitored and controlled per each individual
It's important to prepare the skin for application in order to get optimal
results. When the outdoor temperature is hot I have found it better to apply solution in the late evenings in order to avoid
sweating. Please keep that in mind when calling for appointments.
Before
Tanning - Waxing,
pedicures and facials should be done before so the tan is not affected.
- Bathe, shave and exfoliate with wash cloth and an exfoliant scrub. This will sluff off the dead skin cells
so the tan will last longer.
- No lotions, perfumes and minimal
make up and deodorant. These act as barriers and affect the depth of the tan.
- Bring loose dark fitting clothing and flip flops to wear afterwards. Tight clothes and jeans
may cause glow to wear off. It is recommend to wait for 4 hours before putting on tight clothing.
After Tanning
- Avoid exercising/perspiring activities as this may cause it to streak until first shower. Bring
towel for leather seats on warm days and an umbrella for rainy days.
- Shower in 8-12 hours using an alcohol-free shower gel. You will see some color wash off, this is normal.
- Moisturize twice a day with alcohol free lotion. Hydrated skin
makes your tan last longer. Alcohol based products are drying to the skin making the tan fade quicker.
- Use sharp razors, avoid exfoliating skin and a hair removal and bleach products
on your skin.
- Avoid long hot showers/baths and pat dry with
towel after shower.
- Avoid hot tubs, pools and oceans.
If so, use a waterproof sunscreen to seal it in.
- Apply sunscreen
when UV tanning because your skin is not protected.
- It is important to call the very next
day if there is an issue with your spray tan or go buy so a tech can look at it so we can repair the issue.
- Sprays
are by technician availability and appointments.
