Optimize the quality of your Sunless Tan or UV Tan for longer lasting color.

Sunless Tanning

For the ultimate in sunless tanning we recommend having one of our highly trained airbrush technicians custom airbrush your body with sunless tanning solution for a beautiful golden brown sunless tan. Our technicians will custom mix the sunless spray based upon your skin type and individual needs.

The entire process takes only 10-15 minutes, and whether you want your entire body airbrushed or just certain parts such as legs, this is the ultimate in sunless tanning. For even more spectacular results we recommend a Tanning Cocktail which combines a tanning session in one of our European Tanning systems immediately followed by an Airbrush Tan on the same visit.

Follow these preparation tips before Sunless Tanning:

Preparing for a Sunless Application

• Exfoliate skin at least 3 to 6 hours before your sunless session to smooth skin for even tanning results. Spend a little extra time on knees, elbows, feet, and hands. We recommend exfoliating with Norvell® Moisturizing Body Scrub.
• Shave at least 3-6 hours before your sunless tanning session.
• Any waxing should be done 1-2 days before your sunless tanning session.
• If skin is dry apply a light water based lotion lightly and evenly to skin at least 2 hours prior to your sunless tan. We recommend moisturizing with Body Drench® Daily Moisturizer.
• Do not apply oils at any time prior to or after your sunless tan.
• Remove make-up prior to your sunless tanning application for best results.
• Bring looser fitting darker colored clothing to your airbrush appointment.
• Do not wear wool, nylon, or silk during or after your sunless application and for at least 8 hours as DHA may react with these fabrics and cause staining.

After Your Sunless Application

• Wait at least 8 to 12 hours after application before you shower. This will allow time for the self-tanning reaction to occur on the skin. If you need to shower sooner let your airbrush technician know before your session and she can custom mix the formula accordingly.
• Don’t worry if you see color wash off from your first shower, this is normal. What you see washing off is the immediate cosmetic bronzer and what is left behind is a beautiful sunless tan.
• Do not apply moisturizer until AFTER your first shower, for this could affect the immediate reaction of the sunless solution on the skin and cause streaking. When showering we recommend a high quality body wash such as Norvell® Hydrating Body Wash.
• Do not exercise until after your first shower.
• Moisturize 2-3 times daily, especially after bathing, to maintain your sunless tan. For best results use a water based moisturizer. Don’t use oil based moisturizers, they can cause blotchiness.
• To help extend your tan we recommend Norvell® Prolong Tan Extender.
• Do not exfoliate skin for at least 48 hours after your sunless tanning application. When you do exfoliate, do so gently and evenly with Norvell® Moisturizing Body Scrub to preserve an even sunless tan.
• If sun-bathing remember to wear only water based sunscreen. Sunless products do not contain sunscreen. Although you look like you have a tan, you will still need a sunscreen to prevent your skin from burning. We recommend California Tan® Water-Resistant Sunblock.
• Periodically we recommend doing a complete salt scrub exfoliation with Norvell® Sea Coral Salt Scrub. Please make sure that this salt scrub is done at least 24 hours prior to any sunless tanning.

UV Tanning

Lotions

We have a large selection of creams and lotions that speed up your skins readiness to tan. Using an indoor tanning lotion can make your money go farther because they shorten the time it takes for your skin to start tanning and helps your tan last longer between sessions.

We can help you find the right tanning product for your needs and skin type. These can run from $35 to $60 in the tanning salon. There are often specials and promotions on lotions when purchasing your tanning sessions. Just ask! Because of the volume of customers we have using tanning products, we will have a high feedback rate for the quality and satisfaction of the lotions we carry.

Nude Tanning

Many people enjoy tanning nude at their local tanning salon. It’s a great way to avoid tan lines and get a full body tan.Moreover, it’s really easy in the privacy of your own tanning bed. Also, you don’t have to worry about bringing a swimsuit to the tanning salon. If you do choose to tan nude, make sure to start off slowly as you exposed your sensitive areas to the tanning bed’s intense rays. It takes some time to gradually get used to the rays. Also, it’s recommended that you place sunscreen on your sensitive areas because they require a little extra protection.

Medications

Some prescription drugs, like antibiotics, contraceptives, and others can make you sensitive to ultra-violet light. Please consult with your tanning consultant or pharmacist if you have questions.

Eye protection

The eyelid is the thinnest membrane of the body. You must use goggles to shield your eyes from the UV light emitted by any tanning bed. Our goggles are FDA compliant and shield 99.9% of UV light.

Contact Lenses

We recommend removing your contact lenses before your tanning sessions. If you are unable to remove them then we recommend moisture drops to keep them from drying out.

Lips

Lips have no melanin and will never develop a tan. They can dry out in the sun or in tanning beds. Keep them moist with lip balm. We’ll have some available should you need any.
