AIRBRUSH TANNING: our newest service!

 
Now more than ever, many people simply don't have the time to lie in the sun and "work" on a deep dark tan. Airbrush Tanning delivers a believable, natural-looking tan without the sun! Our highly effective formula is fast-acting and long-lasting.  Besides the convenience of Airbrush Tanning, plain and simple, the alternative — exposure to the sun / UV rays is dangerous! Better yet, we can come to you!

How long does an Airbrush Tanning last?
Depending on a person's activities and skin type, our tan lasts approximately 7-10 days (others only last 5-7 days) . With follow up or maintenance applications, a person can maintain the tan indefinitely.  A sunless tan is not a long term commitment, so it is great to try for the first time! 

What is the difference between being airbrushed and using cream or lotion sunless tanners at home?
Imagine the difference between finger painting your car and using an airbrush to paint it. Even with the greatest of care, and help from a friend to get all the places you cannot reach, you can't duplicate the even consistency and natural look of an airbrushed tan. 

What is the advantage of Airbrush Tanning over UV tanning?
Airbrush tanning is an alternative form of tanning. People with sensitive skin or people who have a hard time tanning, be it natural or in tanning beds will find this form of tanning very comforting. One application with airbrush tanning will be equivalent to approximately 6 tanning bed sessions, there for making it cost effective. Airbrush tanning also spares the skin of excessive wear and tear and free from potential burns caused by the sun or tanning beds. 


How do I prepare for an Airbrush tanning session?
For the maximum result, before your session, shower and exfoliate the skin. Make sure your skin is free of perfumes, lotions, oils, deodorants, gels or any product on the skin that would create a barrier. Also, remove all jewelry (and don't put it back on until a five hours after your tan)!  Also, plan to not have any activity that will cause water to mix with your tan (bath, swimming, exercise, sweat, rain, etc.) until 5 hours after your tan.

What should I wear?
Attire for women is whatever you are comfortable with. Many things can be done to minimize tan lines. The key is your comfort level. Attire for men is boxers, swim trunks or shorts. Your tanning specialist will use the utmost discretion. Loose fitting clothing should be worn for leaving the facility. We have found that DHA (the organic compound in the tanner) reacts with wool, nylon, and silk. These fabrics should not be worn during or immediately following your tanning session. 

Can an Airbrush Tan be removed?
The color produced by a sunless tanning product  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 Airbrush Tanning 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 color the skin. Our form of  DHA is derived from glycerin (particularly raspberries), which is a commonly used cosmetic and food ingredient. DHA is not absorbed into the body and poses no possibility of toxicity. 

What if a person normally can't get very tan?
A person CAN get a sunless tan even if they can't get a real tan. Airbrush Tanning does not need a person's melanocytes to be in working order. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the active ingredient in our solution, saturates the dead skin cells in the outermost layer of skin, where it turns the protein in the dead cells golden tan. 

Any other benefits of using Airbrush Tanning?
Fast, convenient, safe and effective. Have a date, a party or just want to go sleeveless? Airbrush Tan today, look great tonight. Did you know that a tan physique gives you a slimmer appearance? That's right, not to mention a very healthy glow. Get the bronzed, sexy look all of Hollywood is sporting without the harmful, aging effects of the sun. 

Can a person UV tan on top of an Airbrush Tan?
Of course! But just remember that the Airbrush Tanning does not provide any sunscreen protection, so you should apply sunscreen accordingly. With an Airbrush Tan, your skin will appear tan, even though it's not. This is an artificial tan. There is no Sun Protection Factor (SPF) in the Airbrush Tan, 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

Normally I freckle in the sun... will Airbrush Tanning cause freckles?
 No. Airbrush tanning solutions will not cause more freckles. In fact, in most cases, freckles and blemishes will become LESS obvious because the lighter skin areas will darken and reduce the color differential between these areas and the rest of the skin. 

What if I have a bald spot?
No fear, your Airbrush technician can give a light spray to your bald spot too! 
Should I shave before or after the Airbrush Tan application?
Shaving is a form of exfoliation so you should shave about 8 hours before the application. Shaving after will take off some of your tan, so shave before. After your application, be sure to use a new razor as old dull blades can mar your results. 
How long after the application can I go in water or sweat?
We recommend about 5 hours. Sunless tan longevity varies from person to person and according to your lifestyle. Long exposure to water will fade your Airbrush Tan. Your outer cells will start to soak up water, which dilutes the effect of the tan. The longer you are in the water, the lighter your tan will get. Having an Airbrush Tan weekly maintenance tan allows the tan to saturate the skin better. The tan will then hold up longer in water. Be sure to moisturize every day, this helps maintain the tan.
