Frequently Asked Questions About Spray Tanning: Addressing Client Concerns
Welcome back to the 360 Tans blog! We know that many of you have questions about spray tanning, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro. To help ease any concerns and provide clarity, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions about spray tanning.
1. What is spray tanning?
Spray tanning is a popular method of achieving a bronzed look without sun exposure. A fine mist of tanning solution is applied to your skin, creating a sun-kissed glow. The active ingredient, DHA (dihydroxyacetone), reacts with the amino acids in your skin to produce a natural-looking tan.
2. Is spray tanning safe?
Yes! When applied correctly, spray tanning is a safe alternative to sunbathing and tanning beds. The solutions we use at 360 Tans are made with high-quality, skin-friendly ingredients, and our trained professionals ensure a safe and even application.
3. How long does a spray tan last?
Typically, a spray tan lasts between 5 to 10 days, depending on your skin type and aftercare. To extend the life of your tan, we recommend moisturizing daily and avoiding exfoliating products.
4. Will I turn orange?
Not if you choose the right shade and a quality product! At 360 Tans, we take the time to match the right formula to your skin tone and ensure an even application. If you follow our pre-tan and post-tan care instructions, you can avoid the dreaded orange hue.
5. What should I do before my spray tan appointment?
To prepare for your spray tan, follow these steps:
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells.
Shave: If you plan to shave, do so at least 24 hours in advance.
Avoid Lotions and Oils: Arrive with clean, dry skin—avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorants on the day of your tan.
6. Can I get wet after my spray tan?
We recommend avoiding water for at least 6-8 hours after your spray tan. This allows the solution to fully develop. After this period, you can shower, but keep the water lukewarm and avoid harsh soaps.
7. Can I spray tan if I’m pregnant?
While there is no conclusive evidence that spray tanning is harmful during pregnancy, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before getting tanned. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities!
8. How do I care for my spray tan?
To maintain your tan, consider these tips:
Moisturize Daily: Use a hydrating lotion to keep your skin healthy and your tan looking fresh.
Avoid Exfoliants: Steer clear of exfoliating scrubs or products, as they can cause your tan to fade unevenly.
Limit Swimming: Chlorinated water can affect your tan, so it’s best to avoid swimming pools during the first few days.
9. How often can I get a spray tan?
You can get a spray tan as often as you like, but we recommend waiting at least 5-7 days between sessions. This allows your skin to fully exfoliate and ensures the best results.
10. What if I have sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin, please inform your spray tan artist. We can recommend products specifically formulated for sensitive skin, and we’ll take extra care during your application to ensure your comfort.
