Sunless Tanning FAQ
No! Today’s sunless tanning solutions use advanced technology to give you a beautiful, natural-looking bronze glow—not an orange tint. Your sunless tan is designed to complement your natural skin tone. Choosing a solution that's too dark for your complexion can sometimes lead to an unnatural or orange appearance. That’s why it’s important to follow the guidance of your tanning consultant, who is trained to recommend the perfect level for you. Plus, using the Product Perfector during your session helps enhance your tan and ensures an even, flawless finish with no orange tones.
A spray tan can last up to 4-7 days depending on the solution you use and the condition of your skin.
We recommend waiting 6-8 hours after a spray tan to shower. Showering sooner may diminish the intensity of the tan.
If you tan using an Instant Cosmetic Bronzer, the instant cosmetic color will wash off in the shower, but the color produced by the DHA (Self Tanner) Bronzer will remain.
Shower, shave, and exfoliate.
Refrain from using moisturizers, perfumes, lotions, oils, or deodorants that may create a barrier between the skin and the sunless tanning solution.
You may resume using these after your first shower.
Swimming in chlorinated or salt water can fade the sunless spray tanning results, by your skin to exfoliate faster and can diminish the length of your tan.
However, normal activities such as bathing, showering or physical activities will not affect the quality of the tan.

To build a base tan, we recommend tanning 2–3 times per week until you reach your desired color. After that, maintain your tan with 1–2 sessions per week.
For best results, always use Tanning Lotion and a Tan Extender to help preserve, protect, and prolong your tan.
Please note: North Carolina law only allows tanning once in a 24-hour period.
Switching tanning beds can lead to better, longer-lasting results thanks to improved technology and a better understanding of how tanning works. Sun tanning uses two types of UV rays:
-UVB helps stimulate melanin production, creating the base of your tan.
-UVA oxidizes the melanin, deepening your color for a richer, darker, and longer-lasting tan.
Using higher-level beds can enhance your results. These beds use more sophisticated technology designed to tan more efficiently and comfortably.
Plus, adding a premium quality tanning lotion can further improve your results by boosting color development and helping your skin stay hydrated and nourished throughout the process.
Modern tanning has come a long way—advanced equipment and quality products work together to help you achieve the glow you’re after more effectively.
The tan or pigmentation process occurs in the epidermis, the top skin layer. The epidermis replaces all its skin cells every 28-30 days.
Cells in the inner portion of the top skin layer divide themselves, migrate to the surface, and flake off. Skin cells contain melanin, and because of UV exposure rises to the surface and flake off as well.
Therefore, a tan can be maintained only by repeated exposure to UV light.
