SprayTanning by Allie

HOW DOES AIRBRUSH TANNING WORK?
The active ingredient in virtually all sunless tanning formulas is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a carbohydrate (monosaccharide sugar) compound approved by the FDA for use in externally applied sunless tanning solutions. DHA is usually derived from a vegetable source like beets or sugar cane. When DHA is applied to the skin, it causes a harmless chemical reaction with the existing amino acids in the skin to produce a tan, much like the sun does, but without UVA and UVB damage. The airbrush tanning solution is manually sprayed in a fine mist all over the body or desired areas. There are no tanning beds or spray booths. The process will take about 15 minutes including drying time.

WILL I TURN ORANGE?

No, Norvell tans each client to their natural tan color. Our tanning solution 

IS THIS SAFE FOR MY SKIN?
DHA has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic applications. It has been used for over 30 years without any harmful effect.

HOW LONG WILL MY TAN LAST?
Depending on your activities and skin type, the tan should last 5-10 days. With follow-up applications, you can maintain your tan indefinitely. USE LOTION/MOISTURIZER ON YOUR SKIN DAILY TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR TAN AS WELL AS HELP YOUR TAN FADE EVENLY. Tight clothing may cause the tan to naturally exfoliate if any material rubs against the skin, so keep this in mind when dressing after application.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY TANNING SESSION?
Swimwear is the most popular choice, although our female clients may opt for no tan lines.

WILL I STINK?
The solution has a faint odor (DHA)  to it, so slight that it is not necessary to shower before going out. Most do not notice any odor at all. After showering for the first time, any fragrance will be completely gone....NO JOKE! The new solutions made in 2011 are designed to have less odor, as well as we use PH prep spray and scents to help eliminate and discomfort.

HOW MUCH DOES A MOBILE TANNING SESSION COST?

WILL THE TAN ACTUALLY BE EVEN ENOUGH TO WEAR A SWIMSUIT WITHOUT FLAWS?
Absolutely!

MORE USEFUL INFO
Skin replaces itself naturally every 28 days. Twenty-five percent of skin is exfoliated each week, causing a UV-tan to wear away. Sunless spray tans affect only the top 25 percent of skin, so you'll want to remove this extra skin prior to tanning. Exfoliating with a sugar scrub or other appropriate product is recommended the day you sunless-tan. Removing loose, dead, dry skin cells that prevent even application of sunless solution will improve and extend your tanning results.

Sunless Tan Maintenance
We recommend that after every five weeks of spray-tanning, allow your skin to rest and take a few days off from tanning. This allows you to completely lose your sunless tan periodically, which helps eliminate patchiness or uneven areas of wear. These areas are caused by normal contact with clothing and other surfaces, which cause unintended exfoliation. Healthy, moist skin will retain the results of your sunless tanning session longer. Sunless spray results will vary by individual.
