FAQ 

How does it work?
Fun fact the active ingredient is a sugar formula derived from Sugar Beets. You can think of it like cutting open an apple. Although this gives you a visual of the reaction, the reaction is actually "the Mallard Reaction". As the DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is applied to the skin, it interacts with the amino proteins in the skin. This reaction will be visible 24 hours later once cosmetic layer is rinsed off. 

How long does an appointment take?
Time slots are booked in 45 min intervals, most clients are in and out in about 30 mins.


How long before I can shower?
Most clients will take there first water only shower 2-5 hours after application. It is important to follow the rinse time giving to ensure the proper desired shade and avoid undesired results. Once the initial rinse has happened there is no rush to take a regular soap shower. HOWEVER it is important to not use soap or other products until 24 hours after the spray tan appointment. Doing so does not allow the skin to fully process the DHA. 

How long will my tan last?
Generally, 7-10 days. Care should be taken before and after treatment to ensure results last. Making sure you moisturize daily and exfoliating properly is the best method!

When should I book?
24 hours prior is always best for complete development of the tan. 
Are you going on vacation? If yes, its best to get the spray tan 24hours prior to take off. (IF you are taking a morning flight out, a PM appointment the night before is the best time) 
A special event should be 48 hours prior to the event. The spray tan consists of a makeup that may rub off before the first initial shower. This will allow for two showers to have passed and not missed any spots that could transfer the special event attire. 

Can I still shave?
If you wish to shave with your spray tan, be extra gentle on the surface and use minimal strokes. Shaving is exfoliating. 

What should I wear during?

What should I wear after?
Loose, dark colored sweats, water proof footwear with socks. (Low cut socks and shoes is best) It is recommended to bring an umbrella if raining.
