Pre-Tan Preparation

  • Start hydrating your skin at least seven days before your appointment (see products below). If you use drug store lotions, they are less likely to hydrate your skin as well as a tanning salon hydrating lotion.
  • Exfoliate your entire body with exfoliation wipes or a nice sea salt scrub, (both can be purchased at the salon), before the airbrush tan. Using a loofah alone is not proper exfoliation.
  • Refrain from using moisturizer at least four hours before the tan.
  • For women, make sure to shave your underarms and legs before your session.
  • Remove your makeup and deodorant before your session.
    If you are not properly prepared for the airbrush tan, the technician reserves the right to cancel your appointment and you will be charged the full amount
    .

Total Immersion - Recommended Pre-Tan Moisturizer - start using a week before your session if you have really dry skin.
Amber Sun Coral Sea Salt Scrub - Use 24 hours before sunless application for best results.

Appointment attire and post-tan attire

  • Women can wear a bathing suit or just a thong.
  • Men must wear at least boxers, shorts or swimming trunks.
  • Make sure the garments you wear to be sprayed in are not your best clothing. If wearing a swimsuit, make sure it is an old one.
  • We will provide a shower cap for the hair.
  • Bring flip-flops to wear home. Or if you can, drive home barefoot.
  • Stick to loose fitting clothing for the ride home. We advise against wearing a bra immediately afterward.

Post-tan care and facts

  • Wait at least 8 hours to shower or get wet. If your appointment is late in the day, you can wait until the next morning
  • Avoid sweating at all costs. If you sweat profusely before you shower, you do risk the chance of the bronzer coming off.
  • .The cosmetic bronzer will wash off when you shower. This is not your tan. This gave you an instant look of tanned skin. After you get out of the shower, you will see your airbrushed tan which is a result of the proteins in your skin reacting to the chemicals in the airbrush solution.
  • Wait at least 24 hours to start tanning outdoors or in a tanning bed.
  • The more you expose yourself to water and exercise, the less chance your tan will last the full seven to 10 days. We recommend avoiding the hot tub until near the end of your tan.
  • Indoor tanning prior to your sunless application, can boost your results. At our northwest location, you can pay an additional $14 for a single tan in the standup unit before your session. Pleasearrive an additional 20 minutes early for signing up and tanning in the standup unit.
  • Sunless tanning does not protect against harmful UV rays, , so you need to protect yourself from harmful UV rays when you sun bathe. We carry a nice line of SPF lotions in our salon.
  • Use soap-free body wash. For instance, the California Tan body wash is perfect PH-balanced with zinc to help extend the tan.
  • Use a tan extender to even out the skin when the tan starts to fade. We recommend using California Tan Sunless Extender with bronzers. It also has zinc in it to help optimize the tanning results.
  • Do not use any products with mineral oil, or baby oil, such as Dove products.
  • Refrain from using self-tan extenders from your local retail store. These can actually ruin your sunless results as you would be mixing two different types and colors.

    We also carry the California Tan Enhancing AfterGlow. It is a bronzing, shimmer spray which has hints of glitter in it and darkens your skin even more. This is great to wear right before a party or a special event.

What is an airbrush spray tan? Airbrush tanning is a nice lopressure spray from an airbrush spray gun applied by a technician. It coats your body with bronzed DHA that reacts to the proteins in your skin to develop a tanned look within 6 to 8 hours.

How long does it last? From five to 10 days depending upon your skin condition, skin tone, exposure to water. As you approach the end of the first week, the tan starts to fade. Like with natural tanning, indoor and outdoor, the more moisture that is already in your skin, the longer your tan will last.

How is it differ from spray booth tanning (aka Mystic Tan)? Many of our clients will tell you what a relief custom airbrush tanning is over the traditional spray tan booth. For one, there is no unevenness in the application and the excess isn't found on your feet and hands and secondly, there is no orange.

How does your system compare to others in the industry? We amaze clients everyday with the quickness of our system. You are dry by the time we are done spraying you and there is no overspray. If we use the contouring gun, though, expect some overspray.

Will it get on my carpet, tile, flooring or walls on a mobile appointment? No, we have a unique covering system that does not allow this to happen. No, you don't have to stand in a dark, black tent to be sprayed. We do most of our residential sprays in kitchens, foyers or bathrooms.

Will it turn me orange? This is our No. 1 question and the No. 1 fear of those thinking about getting an airbrush tan. Unlike self-tanners and spray booth tanning, the DHA does not turn orange when it is applied via airbrush.

Can you correct a bad Mystic tan? Yes, we can. Just scrub as much of the Mystic tan away as possible before your airbrush appointment.

Can you correct tan lines or sunburn? Because tan lines are caused by the sun, we cannot exfoliate them away. With our system, we spray over the entire body, so obviously, the tan lines won't be white anymore, but there is no guarantee that the part which goes over the tan lines will be as dark as your tanned skin. With sunburns, we do ask that you do not exfoliate the part of your skin that is sunburned as we cannot effectively tan your peeling skin.

Does it streak or rub off on my clothing? The airbrush tan does not streak as long as you follow the directions. You must wait at least six hours, preferably over eight hours to shower. Avoid any activity which would cause you to sweat profusely and avoid getting wet before you shower. If you have your airbrush tan done in the afternoon or evening, make sure you shower before 10am the next morning. Avoid wearing silk, wool and rayon clothing right after your spray tan as it may stain it. Once you have showered, the cosmetic bronzer is gone and nothing will rub off on your clothing. Our solutions dry before your session is over so there is very little chance that the product will rub off on your clothing.

Can I get a sunless tan on my wedding day? We now use a special solution for weddings and same-day events that the Hollywood stars use before they go on stage, thanks to our friend, Monica, who owns Colour-Couture, a salon that has tanned stars before the Oscars.
