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 reacts with wool, nylon, and silk. These fabrics should not be worn during or immediately following your tanning session. We also recommend that you wear sandals instead of socks and tennis shoes.

The color produced by a sunless tanning product like ours 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.

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. DHA is derived from glycerin (vegetable origin), which is a commonly used cosmetic and food ingredient. 

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 skin cells in the outermost layer of skin, where it turns the protein in the cells golden tan.

We recommend about 12 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.

After your tan has developed and after your first post-tan shower, you can minimize water activity exfoliation by liberally and frequently apply a good, strong waterproof sunscreen (such as Bullfrog, Iguana, Blue Lizard or others) before submersing yourself. These are very durable brands and can help protect your tan from fading.

The concern some doctors have is over whether or not the active ingredient (DHA) is able to enter the blood stream; the indications are that it cannot. DHA only penetrates the outermost of the skin. However, just to be safe we do not tan pregnant women. FYI: DHA has been used as a cosmetic ingredient in the United States since 1960 and no problems have ever been reported concerning DHA penetrating the skin, or causing problems during pregnancy.

Until your first post-tan shower, your Airbrush Tan will stain some fabrics (For example: nylon, silk, wool and polyester). However, a good soaking in water will usually lift the stain from the fabric. Most fabrics and materials are completely safe — if the Airbrush Tan color rubs off on any other fabric it will simply wash out. Many have reported that the Oxy cleaning products, like Clorox's non-bleach Oxygen Action, do a great job. FYI: two commonly reported causes of the color guide coming off are both on bed sheets — excess sweat from menopausal hot flashes and those who drool on their own face while they sleep.

Using an exfoliator insures smoother softer skin for the Airbrush Tan airbrush tan application, resulting in an even and longer lasting tan. If you do not use an exfoliator, you will be tanning skin that is about to fall off and your tan will disappear more quickly. Loofas and puffs do not conform to the body and will result in an uneven exfoliation and can create a "zebra" look to your Airbrush Tan.

Shaving is a form of exfoliation so you should shave about 4-8 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.
