About Airbrush Tanning
About Airbrush Spray Tanning.
Spray tanning is a fantastic alternative for anyone to have a realistic, natural looking tan, without being exposed to the sun.
It's perfect for those who have issues with UV exposure.
It's suitable for all skin types and recommended by dermatologists as a safe way to achieve a tan. Being beautifully tanned, gives you the benefit of added confidence, especially on those occasions when you need to reveal more skin.
Sunless tans are possible because of an ingredient called DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a derivative of sugar cane.
Sunless tanning products and solutions are formulated to work with the body's chemistry to darken the top layer of skin, and then fade gradually, as our skin cells shed, naturally. DHA oxidizes with proteins in the skin, much the same way that a peeled apple turns brown when exposed to air.
DHA is approved for medical, and topical cosmetic use by the FDA and the solutions are safe and non-toxic. The effect develops only in the top layer of the skin during a 4-8 hour processing time, and can last an average of 7-10 days.

Important Spray Tan Tips
Important Spray Tan Tips:
A sunless tan gives you no protection from the sun, like a UV tan. Use sunscreen, like you would normally, without a tan.
Your sunless tan takes approx 20 minutes and then takes 6-8 hours to process completely.
Closer to the end of your processing time, you will appear darker and perhaps a little too dark for your liking. Don't panic, your final result will be more natural once you shower off the topical bronzer.
Normal washing will remove the colour of the topical bronzer from most bed linens, and washable clothing. To avoid any possibility of staining, during the processing time, avoid wearing fabrics made of wool, nylon, or silk, or sitting on light coloured leather with bare skin.
It is normal, during your first shower, to see the topical bronzer washing off. What is left behind will be a natural
looking tan.

Prepare, for Optimum Results
Prepare
Simplified, it's easy!
Shower and scrub your skin then wait 6-8 hours after a sunless treatment before you get wet or moisturize again, but the following are more detailed instructions to help you get the most for your money, and the best results please follow the following directions:
Shave, and have any waxing done at least one day prior to your sunless session.
Having clean, exfoliated skin is an important step before any sunless treatment, to smooth, and even out your skin's texture.
Exfoliation is the process of sloughing off dead cells and flakes from the top layer of your skin in the bath or shower with a loufa, shower puff, or exfoliating gloves. For optimum sunless results, shower or bath using an oil-free exfoliating scrub with a rough face cloth, or puff, and rub in circular motions, paying particular attention to rough areas like, elbows, knees, and heels.
Do not use salt/oil or sugar/oil based exfoliates, unless you shower again before tanning to remove the film they leave behind on your skin. You can apply a water-based moisturizer after exfoliating, providing it's at least 8 hours prior to your appointment, especially if you're experiencing dry skin.
If you don't have gel nails, apply a coat of nail polish or use the supplied barrier cream on bare nail beds, to protect from possible discolouration.
Remove any deodorant, perfumes, foundation, oil based moisturizers, and jewellery before your session.
You can wear eye liner and mascara, also lip coverage is recommended.
Wear loose dark clothing after your session, and until your tan is set. Flip flops on the feet are a good choice. Don't wear tight socks or tight boots right after getting a full body spray tan, as it could cause a tan line where they rub.
Wait at least 6-8 hours after your session before you shower, moisturize, swim, exercise or get any esthetic services done i.e. pedicures, manicures or hair.

After your first shower, moisturize your skin daily with Amber Sun, a water-based moisturizer, and re-apply
after swimming, exercising, or any prolonged exposure to water.
Amber Sun tan extenders are an excellent way to either intensify your colour, or even out results.
These are typically moisturizers with a small amount of DHA.
The best ones are sold at The Finishing Touch Esthetics, and can be used three ways:
- Amber Sun tan extenders can be applied right after your first shower, if you want to darken and intensify your new tan,
- Or starting a few days after your sunless treatment, to lengthen the amount of days you keep your colour,
- Or use Amber Sun daily without a base tan, as you would a moisturizer, to gradually build up a tanned appearance.
Moisturizing is always important to help maintain a sunless tan, but more so if you have dry skin, flaky patches, or for anyone during periods of especially hot or cold dry weather. Also, because an aircraft's air has very little humidity, and
passengers are not allowed any liquids onboard a plane, I recommend moisturizing before your flight to prevent your skin from feeling dry in mid air.
After a sunless treatment avoid scrubbing your skin with anything rough like a loufa, and don't use any exfoliating facial or body scrubs until your ready to prepare for your next sunless treatment, to preserve your tan.
Frequent use of hot tubs or chlorinated swimming pools will diminish your tan sooner.
