Instant Sunless Spray Tan FAQs
The tan created by the DHA affects only the top layer of the skin and will begin to fade after 5 days as the skin naturally begins to exfoliate. Some tan should remain on the skin for at least 7 days. To extend tanning results, we recommend using Norvell’s Pro Long or Celebrity Tan Extending Lotion.
After getting spray tanned how long does it take to see results?
Customers will see an immediate bronze appearance on their skin as a result of the cosmetic bronzers in the formula. The cosmetic bronzers provide only temporary color and will wash off in the first shower. The sunless tanning color that develops from the dihydroxyacetone (DHA) in the formula takes 2 to 4 hours to appear. For this reason, we recommend that customers wait at least 10 hours after application before they bathe or exercise. This will allow the DHA plenty of time to create a beautiful, natural-looking tan on the skin that will last for up to a week.
After getting spray tanned how long do I have to wait before I shower?
We generally recommend that you wait at least 10 hours after using a sunless product before you bathe to give the DHA plenty of time to set up on the skin and deliver beautiful tanned results.
After getting spray tanned should I shower before I go to bed?
Avoid showering or excessive sweating for 10 hours after application. If cosmetic bronzers do transfer to bed sheets, it will come out in the wash.
Should you moisturize your skin before you sunless tan?
You should use a moisturizer regularly to keep your skin hydrated and healthy, which will contribute to a more even, natural-looking sunless tan. However, it is recommended that you do NOT apply moisturizers from 2 hours prior to until 4 hours after your sunless spray application.
A moisturizer applied immediately prior to your sunless spray application could interfere with the penetration of the sunless spray solution into your skin. Any moisturizer applied immediately after your sunless spray application could cause streaking. When you do use a moisturizer, we recommend St. Tropez Moisturizer.
Can I use sunless spray tanning in addition to a regular tanning bed?
Absolutely. In fact, the sunless tanning results are phenomenal over a nice base tan developed in a tanning bed. If a customer would like to tan in a regular tanning bed and use the sunless spray tanning unit during a single visit, we recommend that they tan in the tanning bed first, and then have the sunless spray tan.
Will the spray tan come off on my clothes?
There is a chance that some of the cosmetic bronzer in the solution may rub off on clothing or bed sheets. This is most likely to happen when the customer dresses immediately after tanning. To minimize the chance of the bronzer transferring to clothing, we recommend that the customer gently pat their skin dry with a towel before they get dressed.
In addition, wearing loose-fitting and darker clothing will minimize the transfer. The cosmetic bronzer is water-soluble. Therefore, in most cases, the transferred color will come out of clothing in the wash.
Can I go to the gym after being spray tanned?
We generally recommend that customers wait 10 hours after using a product with DHA before partaking in any strenuous activities that may cause them to sweat. This will prevent streaking that could result from excessive perspiration.
Will a sunless spray tan affect the color of my nails or my nail polish?
The solution will not discolor nail polish. However, the solution can cause unnatural coloration of cuticles and around nails.
Will a sunless spray tan discolor my hair?
We provide hair caps to our customers to protect their hair. Although some customers may like this, it is not necessary. The solution will not penetrate the hair follicle and therefore will not discolor hair, including light blonde hair or salon-colored hair.
How often should I apply the Extender in order to maintain my sunless tan?
To extend your sunless tanning results, it is best to use the Sunless Tan Extender at least once a day, preferably after bathing.
Should I use the Extender immediately after the sunless spray application?
Although the Sunless Tan Extender should be used frequently, it is recommended that you do NOT apply until 10 hours after your sunless spray application. A moisturizer applied immediately prior to your sunless spray application could interfere with the reaction of the sunless spray solution on your skin.
Any moisturizer applied immediately after your sunless spray application could cause streaking. Wait to use the Sunless Tan Extender until after you have bathed.
