Spray Tan FAQs
Q. How should I prepare for my tan to get longer-lasting results?
A. To offer an even canvas for the spray tan to develop on, we recommend that before your appointment you shower, exfoliate and shave the areas you plan to have sprayed. You will not want anything that would cause a barrier on your skin such as lotion, oils, or deodorants. Bring something loose-fitting to wear home from your appointment, as tight-fitting clothing and shoes will rub your fresh tan and may cause an uneven result.
Q. Will I turn orange?
A. The Norvell Sunless Tan product we use develops the natural proteins in your skin using dihydroxyacetone (DHA). Your skin will darken to a natural looking glow based on your own natural skin tone.
Q. What should I wear during my spray tan?
A. Our female guests over the age of 18 may be as undressed as they are comfortable. Male guests or minors should be prepared with their undergarments or swimsuits.
Q. How long will my spray tan last?
A. Typically your spray tan will last about a week. By following our preparation recommendations and using the Tan Extender lotion sold at The Spa, you should be able to keep your tan for up to 10 days. If you are very active, swimming, hot tub soaker, or not well prepared, your spray tan will last roughly 5 days. Results do vary from person to person, so a trial run is recommended if you are planning your spray tan for an upcoming special event.
Q. Is the spray tan done by a machine?
A. Our spray tans are airbrushed by a trained technician to ensure you get a custom look that is contoured to your body.
Q. How long do I need to wait to shower?
A. The spray tan product will continue to develop for up to 8 hours. During that time you want to stay out of contact with water, and avoid activities that may cause perspiration, as any water will remove the spray tan solution and your final result will be streaked. You are welcome to shower sooner than 8 hours if you feel you have reached your desired color.
Q. Will the product stain my clothing?
A. The product will not permanently stain anything that is a man-made material. It will stain leather, suede, or silk items (including leather vehicle seats).
Q. May I sleep with my spray tan before I set it with a shower?
A. You may sleep the night and wake up to shower the next morning, just be sure you are sleeping in a cool environment as any perspiration may cause discoloration in your final result.
Q. How far in advance should I get a spray tan before an event?
A. We typically recommend getting your spray tan 2 to 3 days prior to your event so that it has time to "settle", but not so far in advance that it starts fading out in areas where your skin is consistently being rubbed (bra straps, seat belts, shaving, shoes, etc.). If you do need to get your spray tan further in advance, the Norvell Tan Extender offered at The Spa will help keep your tan looking fresh longer!
