Spray tanning is a safe and effective way of dying the top layer of skin brown to make it appear as though you have a natural sun kissed tan. It works by applying a special mist to the body. The mist is applied while you stand in our portable booth. The active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

As the actual tanning product is clear in its natural form, a bronzer is added as a colour guide and to aid uniform application. The bronzer will wash of during your first shower or bath, but you will be left with a wonderful tan. It gradually fades (just like a real tan) as the dead skin cells fall from the skin.

During the initial 8 hour development stage you may find that the bronzer transfers to clothing. Light coloured fabrics may stain and avoid wearing light coloured nylon, silk or wool fabrics after treatment. Other light coloured fabrics may stain slightly but the stains should wash out. We recommend you wear loose dark clothing during this period until you have your first shower or bath.

I have a portable spraying cubicle - you need floor space of approximately 7ft high x 3ft for the booth plus room for me to stand in to spray.

Typically a spray tan will last for between 5-10 days. In a similar manner to a sun tan, it fades gradually as your body sheds the dead skin cells. Moisturising regularly will help to prolong the life of your tan. With follow up applications, a person can maintain the tan indefinitely.

To prolong the life of you tan we recommend that you follow the guidelines on skin preparation and aftercare

In order to get the most our of your spray tan, be sure to follow our preparation tips. For the maximum result, before your session, shower and exfoliate the skin. Make sure your skin is free of perfumes, lotions, oils, deodorants, gels or any product on the skin that would create a barrier. Also, remove all jewelry (and don't put it back on until 8 hours after your tan)!

By following the steps found in our aftercare section, you should be able to maintain your tan for around 5-10 days.

Swimming in chlorinated water or salt water can fade the results, cause possible streaking and will diminish the length of your tan.

Long exposure to water, with or without chlorine, will fade your sunless tan. Your outer skin cells will start to soak up water, and that dilutes the effect of the sunless tan. The longer you are in the water, the worse it will be. Using sunless tanners regularly over a period of time will saturate the skin better and the sunless tan will hold up longer in water, but it will still be affected. Some people report that applying a waterproof sunscreen before they get in the water prevents their sunless tan from fading as quickly.

No, just one single application will give a rich golden colour that lasts for 5 - 7 days depending on your skin type and aftercare routine. The colour fades like a natural tan.

As often as you like - the formula is completely safe and DHA is approved for cosmetic use. Many people like to top up their tan once a week and it is completely safe to do so.

No, however if you have long hair you should tie it back when spraying your face. A disposable cap is also provided.

Shave at least a few hours before tanning your face to avoid bristles or any irritation from interfering with your results. Ensure your face is free of any cuts before starting to spray. If you have body hair, don't worry the fine mist will penetrate through to your skin.
