Spray Tan Stink?

Those of you who have been avid sunless tanner users for years know all to well of the DHA stink.  It's sort of a salty peanut, friend chicken kind of smell... that really isn't too flattering.  Although this smell does go away, and is naturally occurring in any sunless tanning products containing DHA it's just best avoided.  That's why our great spray tanning solutions, and many sunless tanning products on the market today have a DHA neutralizer in them!

DHA neutralizers greatly lessen the stink given off while your spray tanning solution or sunless tanning product is developing.  It's not gone completely.. but it sure is a lot more bearable!  All of our spray tanning solutions are also available in a variety of scents, making your sunless tanning experience pleasant to the senses!

Spray Tan After Care

With proper after care, you can get at least 10 days out of your sunless tan! Caring for your spray tan is super easy, and actually will improve your skin. Here's a few steps on how to care for your sunless glow!

First of all, avoid chlorine pools.  Chlorine will strip your sunless tan, causing it to fade at a much more rapid pace.  Moisturize at least twice a day. Keeping your skin moisturized will cause it to stay more supple, thus causing your skin to slough off slower.  Using a moisturizer that contains DHA every other day will help to add a bit of color, keeping your spray tan even, and fresh looking. Avoid products with mineral oils, petroleum, and waxes.  These can actually dry out your skin, and fade your tan!

Using Booster Drops

You may have noticed that you have the option of adding booster drops to any spray tanning solution order.  What are they anyway?  Well booster drops contain a high concentration of DHA.  DHA is the ingredient in sunless tanning products that causes your skin to have the tan color.  When you add booster drops to your solution, you increase the level of DHA, creating a darker tan.

Booster drops are available in different size bottles and come in both bronze and clear.  You only have to add 5 drops per 2 oz of spray tanning solution to increase the DHA level 1%.  It's a great way to be able to customize your spray tanning solutions to your clients skin type!  Remember, adding too much DHA can cause off coloring rather than a darker natural looking tan.  Be sure to know your clients skin type before boosting the sunless tanning solution!

Keep Your HVLP Gun Clean!

It is sooo easy to keep your HVLP spray tanning equipment clean!  Keeping it clean will ensure your HVLP gun is spraying at its best.  If your gun is spitting, or your spray tans are turning out splotchy and uneven, chances are your equipment needs a good cleaning!  Here is how we recommend cleaning your sunless tanning equipment.

First take the solution cup off of your HVLP gun and rinse it out.  Fill that solution cup about half way with your favorite airbrush/HVLP cleaner.  Spray the cleaning solution through your gun into a sink or bathtub.  Again remove the solution cup, rinse it out, and fill with warm water.  Spray this water through your spray tanning gun to make sure all the cleaning solution has been rinsed away.  Once you have done this go ahead and empty the cup again.  Spray air though your HVLP gun to help dry out the inner workings of it.  Now your spray tanning equipment is clean and ready to go!

The Importance of Exfoliation

The best thing you can do to get a perfect spray tan is to exfoliate super well!  Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, revealing soft, smooth, fresh skin.  This is the perfect canvas for an even sunless tan, regardless of what kind of sunless tanning products you are using!

When you exfoliate before using sunless tanning products, you want to make sure you use an exfoliant that is oil free.  Some products that are too oily can leave behind a film on your skin, and actually barricade it from the spray tanning solution! You want to exfoliate before your sunless tan, and then not again until you are ready to start removing it.

Spray Tanning Solution with Bronzer

Getting your first sunless spray tan?  Many people are frightened when they see color running down the shower drain, but this is totally normal!  Most spray tanning solutions contain both a lasting DHA tan and an instant bronzer.  This bronzer acts as a guide for your spray tanning tech, and gives you an instant glow!

DHA typically takes 6-8 hours to develop into a sunless tan.  The temporary bronzer tends to get darker as your spray tanning solution is developing.  Because of this, you may appear super dark but don't panic and shower too soon!  The color you are underneath that bronzer is much more natural and beautiful looking, so be sure to let it develop!

Spray Tans and Light Complexions

Some people simply can not tan in the sun!  If you are one of these very light complected people, chances are you have tried, and just ended up with freckles and sun burn.  The sun may not tan your skin, but you can still get that natural sunless glow via spray tan!

Opt for the lightest shade of spray tanning solution.  If you go too dark, chances are you will look orange and silly not bronze and beautiful.  Once you have your new gorgeous tan skin, be sure to still wear sunblock!  Spray tanning solution won't protect you from the sun, so remember under that layer of glowing skin you still are ultra sensitive to the sun!  Waterproof sunscreens are great, and can actually help keep your spray tan longer when you are swimming or sweating!

Spray Tans Get Darker as They Develop?

Many people don't really realize how a spray tan works!  The color you see when you are first spray tanned, is not the color you will look in the end.  Spray tanning solutions take some time to develop into a week long lasting tan.. but why?

Spray tanning solutions aren't merely some stain or dye that soaks into your skin.  Spray tan solutions actually contain DHA which causes a reaction with the top layer of your skin.  The result of this reaction is gorgeous, glowing, tan colored skin! The color you initially see during your sunless spray tanning session is simply a cosmetic bronzer that is used as a guide for your spray tan tech.

Can I Work Out After My Sunless Tan?

Tons of people ask if it's okay to head to the gym after their custom spray tan.  It's really not a good idea though!  Your sunless tan needs time to develop, and if you get sweaty during that time it can cause the solution to run.  The result is a streaky, uneven spray tan mess.

So when is it okay to work out after your custom spray tan?  About 9-12 hours after you've been sprayed. It's also not a bad idea to shower off the bronzer before you hit the gym, that way you don't have any slightly embarrassing bronzer run off!
