How does it work?

The active ingredient in the tanning spray (ketosugar DHA-dihydroxyacetone) works with the amino acids in the outer layer of the skin effecting a bronzing reaction. This is different than the UVA and UVB rays of the sun that stimulate the melanin pigment in the skin. It produces this bronze color without skin damage.

The tan spray works on the top layer of the skin only and will shed, or fade like a “sun” tan over several days. The way the tan fades is dependent on the way each person naturally exfoliates his or her skin. The longer and more regularly they tan, the better the tanning effect will wear.

Beautiful Outcome 

After the spray application, feel free to dry for up to ten minutes in the comfort of your own home. We have an easy clean up because the treatment is completed inside a free standing tent. There is zero mess.

Your skin will not turn "orange." This is NOT a Mystic Tan. Airbrush Tanning TX provides the most natural looking skin available.

Before Tanning Tips

Exfoliate your body before the application. This is easily accomplished by exfoliating with your favorite body scrub or rubbing a wash cloth firmly over your skin when showering. Pay attention to rough skin areas like knees, elbows, ankles and the tops of your feet.

Please shave or wax 24 hours before treatment.

Do not apply moisturizer to your skin at this stage as doing this will reduce the final result.

We also recommend that you don't wear any make-up.

Bring loose dark clothing to put on after the tan. I personally recommend wearing a loose dark, cotton dress.

The tan will last up to 7-10 days depending upon your skin type and how well you follow the "Before and After Tanning Tips." 

After Tanning Tips

Once your tan is applied, you must allow it to dry completely. We will ensure that your application is dry before you leave, but as a precaution, do not wet your skin for at least 5-8 hours after the tanning session. Showering the following morning is the best option.

We also recommend that you do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning and the showering phase. When showering don't be concerned if some of the initial bronzer washes off - this is part of the tanning process, and your skin will continue to tan.

Apply moisturizer twice daily after showering. This reduces the rate at which your skin exfoliates and will keep your tan looking better for longer.

Other considerations in maintaining your tan are to avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Shorter sessions are preferable. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin.

Important Information

Skin: If you feel you have highly sensitive skin, or you have any doubts, we recommend a small localized test spray to check your skin compatibility before having your full body sprayed.

Clothing: I personally recommend wearing a loose dark, cotton dress but any dark, loose fitting attire will work. Any minor rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics, but some lighter colored materials, including leather,may stain.
