Sunless tanner contains a special substance called DHA, which reacts with the air and the amino acids on the surface of the skin, causing the cells on the surface of the skin to darken.
Fake tan is completely safe to use. DHA is non-toxic and works by browning the top layer of the skin known as the epidermis; no self tanner is absorbed deeper into the skin.
Just a 20-minute treatment session with instant and long-lasting results (5-7 days) that can match a 2-week holiday tan. It also gives a fantastic instant confidence boost.
Because the process only occurs on the top layer of the skin, the tan then fades after 7 days, in keeping with the normal skin shedding cycle.
An important thing to remember in regards to tanning is that everyone’s skin is different, and fake tan will react differently depending on your skin type.
Fake tans only run the risk of looking unnatural if you have a tan with too much DHA in it for your skin type, which is why the products we use have been formulated to suit all tones.

Follow the steps below in order to perfectly prepare for your upcoming tan.
Step 1: Make sure you shave at least 24 hours before your spray tan, if waxing 48 hours prior.
Step 2: Exfoliate gently to remove any dry skin, removing dead skin cells will make your tan last longer.
Step 3: Be sure to moisturise your skin the evening before you plan on tanning. This will smooth skin and replace any moisture lost in the hair removal and exfoliating stages. (Paying close attention to those stubborn dry areas such as, hands, elbows, knees and ankles.)
Step 4: On the day of your tan, rinse off any products, oils, moisturisers and make-up. Avoid deodorant and fragrances, and lotions.
If you have chosen a professional spray tan then here is our tips if you want it to last as long as possible! Our simple after-care steps will ensure you get the best results…
Step 1: Plan ahead! Wear loose fit, dark clothing and flip flops/loose fitting shoes. Let’s avoid any unnecessary tan lines!
Step 2: Do not exercise or swim during the development time. Who needs toning when you have tanning!
Step 3: Do not shower or bathe for the development period of 8 hours after your tan.
Step 4: After 8 hours, rinse off in the shower, running the water until the water runs clear.
Step 5: Pat dry after showering with your towel (no rubbing)
Step 6: A sunless tan can begin to fade over time and the skin’s natural cells begin to flake off and regenerate, make sure you moisturise daily.
Step 7: Last but not least, enjoy the compliments and GLOW!
