Spray tanning is the spray/mist application of sunless tanning solution to your body. When applied, DHA (the active ingredient in spray tanning solution) reacts with the proteins in the skin’s superficial layer to form a golden-brown colour. Your skin begins to darken two to three hours after application and reaches its peak colour within 24 hours. The colour will gradually fade through natural exfoliation, just like a tan from the sun.

Exfoliate and shave the day before or the day of the spray tanning session (day before is preferred). The day of the spray tanning session, refrain from using moisturisers, perfumes, lotions, oils, or deodorants that may create a barrier between the skin and the tanning solution. You may resume using these after your first shower or bath.

To give the DHA enough time to fully set, it is recommended to wait a minimum of 8 hours after a spray tanning session or 24 hours for optimal results. Showering sooner may diminish the intensity of the tan.
