The active ingredient used in all tanning products is Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA. This ingredient, which is naturally derived from sugar cane, reacts with the amino acids in the skin to create a browning effect on the outermost layer of the skin. Full development of the colour takes about 24-48 hours after application regardless of the formulation type (Standard/Express). The intensity of the colour depends on the concentration of the DHA as well as the individuals skin type. The colour will gradually fade over the course of 7-10 days through natural skin exfoliation just like a natural tan from the sun.

Clients are welcome to wear as little or as much as you are comfortable with during the appointment but be mindful of tan lines. You will always be offered complimentary disposable items (hair net, g-string, nipple pasties) if you would like minimal lines and to keep your own items free of tanning solution. However, please understand that males of any age and girls under the age of 18 are required to wear undergarments during their appointment. No exceptions.

At least two days before any major events (wedding, photo shoot, etc.) and just one day before leaving for a holiday.

Standard spray tans | Need 8 hours to develop before rinsing off the guide colour.
Express spray tans | Allow you to rinse off sooner, making this option increasingly popular. Depending on what tan tone you're going for, your spray tan artist will recommend the perfect time to rinse off. Here's a guide to give you an idea...
45 minutes = Very Fair tones

1.5 - 2 hours = Light tones
2.5 - 3 hours = Medium tones
3.5 - 4+ hours = Dark tones

On average, your tan should last about 7-10 days. Unlike other beauty services, the life of a spray tan is 50% dependent on the client's preparation while the remaining 50% relies on the artist's application and solution selection. It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to properly prepare your skin by following the guidelines. This will ensure a long-lasting tan with an even fade.

While the solutions used are organic-based, vegan, and formulated with clean and minimal ingredients, it's advised all expectant or nursing mothers to consult with their physician before scheduling an appointment. All nursing mothers will be required to wear nipple pasties during the spray tan application. To request an ingredients list of our product to provide your physician with for review, please email.
