FAQs - about Spray TanHow does it work? The active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids on the outer most layer of the skin. This reaction causes the colour of the skin to change, producing a beautiful natural tan. How long does a Spray Tan last? Depending on a person's activities and skin type, the tan lasts approximately 5-10 days. With follow up applications, a person can maintain the tan indefinitely. Can a Spray Tan be removed? The colour produced by a tan does not wash off; it simply fades as the upper layers of the epidermis wear away. You can try to speed the exfoliation process by gently scrubbing the skin with a washcloth or loofah sponge. DO NOT OVER SCRUB! It may take a week or more for the "tanned" skin to disappear. Is a Spray Tan safe? YES! According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective products available are sunless or self-tanning products that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. DHA has been used in cosmetic preparations for almost 30 years and was listed with the FDA in 1973. It is declared safe and suitable for use in cosmetics and drugs used to colour the skin. DHA is derived from glycerin (vegetable origin), which is a commonly used cosmetic and food ingredient. DHA is not absorbed into the body and poses no possibility of toxicity. Does a Spray Tan provide SPF protection? No! Spray Tans do not provide any sunscreen protection, so you should apply sunscreen accordingly. Your skin will appear tanned, even though it's not. This is an artificial tan. There is no Sun Protection Factor (SPF) so your skin is still exposed and vulnerable to the sun. If you choose to expose your skin to UV rays either from the sun or a tanning bed, it is important to use a lotion with SPF to protect you from the sun's harmful rays. You may wonder how a tan is applied? A mobile spray tan involves the customer standing in a pop up spray tan booth. Each person is airbrushed privately with the option of wearing bathing suit or underwear depending on their own level of comfort. A technician will apply a quick drying mist, sprayed onto the body. Within 5-10 minutes after application you can get dressed. |
