One of the best ways to get an amazing spray tan result is to know how it works! Here's the nitty gritty... Spray tan solutions contain two main ingredients: cosmetic bronzer and dihydroxyacetone (or DHA). The bronzer is temporary and will wash off with your first rinse. It serves as a guide for your artist to ensure even application as well as a provide you with an idea of how the tan will look once it's fully processed. DHA interacts with the amino acids in the outermost layer of your skin to create a tanning effect. It is derived from sugar beets or sugar cane. It comes in a variety of percentages to create lighter or darker tans. Since the pH of your skin directly affects the structure of the amino acids in your skin, it's important to shower the night before your sunless session. This will give your skin's pH enough time to neutralize and provide the ideal surface for the spray tan solution to react.

Your sunless tan will last about 5-10 days depending on how well you prepare for it and how well you care for it. Follow the Pre & Post Tan Care instructions diligently for flawless results and a long-lasting tan. Ask about after-care products that won't strip your tan. Want your tan to last longer? A Tan Extender Lotion will extend the life of your tan an additional 3-4 days. It can be purchased during your appointment or at the Sans Soliel Online Store with free local delivery.

No. Your skin tone will be color matched to the shade of solution that will look the most natural on you. Keep in mind, proper skin preparation as well as what you put onto your skin post-tan can interfere with color development. Some ingredients can change the pH of your skin & turn your faux glow brassy. Ask about spray tan-friendly products and be sure to refer to the Prep & Care instructions for flawless results. ⁣
