how does spray tanning work?

Spray tanning temporarily colors the skin. The active ingredient that creates the bronzed effect is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA is derived from sugar cane or beet root. This ingredient interacts with the proteins and amino acids found in the top layer of the skin to create the desired tanned color. DHA is the primary ingredient found in all spray tanning solutions and self-tanning products.

how long does it last?

On average, spray tan results last about 10 days. However, the longevity depends on several factors, which include lifestyle habits, daily activities, and skin routines. Sweating excessively while sleeping or spending time in jacuzzis or saunas, taking long baths or showers on a daily basis, participating in activities that may cause excessive sweating (ex: spinning), exfoliation, hair removal, or even a lack of skin hydration may cause the product to fade away faster.

why spray tanning over regular tanning?

In addition to obtaining an instant result, you avoid all of the harmful effects that could result from UV ray exposure in tanning beds or from the sun itself. In other words, by limiting your exposure to such harmful effects you are reducing your risk of developing skin cancer and avoiding the premature aging of your skin (wrinkles, pigmentary spots, discoloration, etc.). Spray tanning allows you to enjoy the same results obtained via traditional tanning without exposing yourself to these harmful effects. Our solution is fast, efficient and sustainable. In just a few minutes, you can get that glowing complexion you’ve always wanted, whilst it would take several traditional tanning sessions to achieve a similar result. Furthermore, those who cannot visit traditional tanning salons due to age restrictions, can enjoy spray tanning as it is available to mostly everyone.
