Customer Information for Airbrush Tanning and Spray Tan In A Can

1. Before you tan:
This is a quick guide to best practice before your Tropical Sun airbrush tanning session. Please do not use any beauty products prior to the spray tan as this will affect the application of the tan, best results is what we as a company want, as a customer, make the best of your spray tan. Tropical Sun UK is confident that our products are the real deal but if you have deodorants, makeup, perfume etc... On your skin, the tan may be less affective. The night before your airbrush tanning session, complete a full body exfoliating scrub, if possible shave or wax your legs as well, moisturise before you go to bed if possible. Moisturise again the morning of the application leave three or more hours before the spray tan, allowing the skin to fully absorb the cream. Please notify the therapist if you have areas of poor circulation or dry skin, results in areas such as these can differ from the rest of your body, if we don't know we can't adjust the treatment. Wear dark coloured cottons for your session. Our solution comes with an instant bronzer, which will completely wash out of cotton. The bronzer may not wash out of some synthetic, acrylic, leather or suede fabrics. If you wear soft contact lenses, take them out prior to your session. Most importantly enjoy the experience, spray tan is a wonderful invention and the results can be amazing, so make the most of it!

2. After you tan:
First, prepare a speech for the first person that asks where you went on holiday! With a little help from you, we provide the feel good factor that only sunless tanning gives you. Lets mention some more handy tips, wear loose clothing after the spray tan, let your skin evenly absorb the tan, try to avoid a work out or shower for at least 6 hours after application, that does include sex! Even if your partner cannot believe the change and wants to take advantage of the new you! Which leads us on to… Sweating, perspiration can cause a natural reaction that may result in poor colour and uneven tanning. A good tip to prolong the tan and its overall even colour is to use our Tropical Sun Bronzing Moisturizer daily between sessions or Johnsons baby oil, you want to lock in as much moisture as possible. Using the extender will prolong the life of the tan as it contains the active ingredient DHA. Use Johnson's baby oil after each shower, apply the oil to your skin before towel drying your skin, this insures maximum moisture, soft skin and a great long lasting tan. The spray tan should last five to seven days as long as you look after it and refrain from long showers or baths, towel dry tanned areas of skin as little as possible. The spray tan is on the outer layer of your skin so the more you do the less it lasts as skin sheds periodically, that's why we ask you to exfoliate thoroughly before the spray tan, it gives the tan a longer life on your skin. Chlorine may bleach the colour of your tan so please avoid contact with this. Tropical Sun solution does not contain sunscreen, so if you are UV tanning, use an appropriate sun block, most sun blocks do not affect the spray tan.

3. How does the D.H.A. solution make your skin tan?
The D.H.A. solution causes the proteins in the outside layer of your skin to react with the oxygen in the air resulting in a bronzing effect. The best way to understand this can be illustrated in this analogy: When you take a bite out of an apple and set it down the fruit begins to turn brown after it is exposed to the air for a while. This is a very similar chemical reaction to what takes place with the D.H.A. and your skin after an airbrush session. You are not applying a dye or color to your skin but rather creating a situation where your skin develops a beautiful natural bronze colour on it's own through a natural chemical enhancement. The vast majority of clients prefer bronzers in the solution, this gives an instant gratification and ensures all the skin is evenly sprayed. The bronzers will wash off your skin as soon as your have the first shower post spray tan. As a precaution only, avoid airbrush tanning within the first three months of pregnancy.
