WHAT IS SPRAY TAN & HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR APPOINTEMENT

Spray tan is a luxurious beauty treatment offered in specilized spas and salons in which the client is either wearing underwear, a bikini or is naked. The spray tan artists will use a airbrush gun and apply a DHA based solution on the body of the client. The full appointment takes only around 15 minutes.

After a few hours (development period depends on the type of solution used), the client will take a shower to rinse the product. A nice and natural-looking tan will now be seen on the skin! It takes 24 hours to fully see the tan.

BEFORE THE APPOINTEMENT

  • Take a shower at least 3 hours before the appointment.
  • Shave, wax and exfoliate* the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. It's important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA needs amino acids to develop. Also, the pores need time to close before the application otherwise it may leaves dark spots.
  • Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream or other oil-based products as they could leave residues on the skin and prevent the solution from developing correctly.
  • Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant the day of the appointment.
  • Moisturize the skin days prior the session (not the day of the appointment).
  • The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit.
  • We recommend you to wear looses and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.

**Exfoliation is the MOST important step to achieve an optimal result that will lasts up to 10 days. We suggest to use a good quality scrub with an exfoliating mitt will allow the elimination of dead skin cells and impurities. Pay attention to rough areas like feet, ankles, elbows, armpits, knuckles, collarbones, etc.

AFTER THE APOINTMENT

  • We recommend you to wear looses and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.
  • Avoid activities that provoke sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period. If it's raining or snowing outside, wear long and covering clothes.
  • Do not apply cream or makeup on the skin during the development period.
  • If you will be sleeping with solutions on; go to bed wearing long clothes.
  • Wait 8 to 12 hours or 1 to 5 hours before showering, depending on the solution. Refer to your artist for the adapted delay.
  • Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water is clear. For the first shower, we recommend not using soap.
  • Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion. Use the NUDA Body Cream for best results.
  • Excessive sweating, jacuzzis or saunas, taking long hot baths or showers often can cause faster fading.
  • Do not wax areas where solution has been applied for the duration of the result. A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.
  • Use gentle facial cleansers, no oil-based or exfoliating products.
  • Avoid lotion, soap and body wash containing mineral oils, petroleum and alcohol. These ingredients can affect the result and cause a faster fading.
  • Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result. When the tanstarts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residues.
