How spray tan works :
The specially made airbrush atomises the "Sun Spray" into a cooling vapour onto the skin ensuring an even application. One of the active ingredients in the Sun Spray, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids on the outermost top layer of skin to produce a bronzed tan - much like the sun does but without UVA and UVB damage to the skin. With absolutely no sun exposure at all, the tan usually lasts between 4 - 10 days. The way the tan fades and the length of time it lasts is dependent on how each person naturally loses his or her skin. Regular moisturising is essential to prolong the duration of the tan, especially during hotter months or in dry climates.
Preparation for your tan:
In the morning of your tanning appointment (or the night before) you should exfoliate your entire body. Exfoliation will remove dead skin that would otherwise flake off and helps to promote even coverage and lengthen the duration of your tan. When you exfoliate, pay particular attention to the lower half of your legs, knees, ankles, top of feet, toes, elbows and knuckles. You may use an exfoliating lotion, face cloth, scrubbing mitt or loofah. Use a pumice stone on feet if necessary.
Shaving or waxing:
It is best to shave or wax at least 12 hours before your tanning appointment. Rosie can carry out waxing treatments prior to your appointment, but is unable to offer any waxing treatments on the same day of your tan. Waxing during the life of your tan will remove it, therefore Rosie recommends that you do not wax for at least 7 days after the application.
Creams and lotions:
Do not apply make up, moisturisers, perfumes or use any roll-on deodorants before your tan is applied. You can resume use of your usual cosmetics after your post-tanning shower (see below). Lotions can act as a barrier and prevent the Sun Spray from contacting with the skin.
What to wear:
Wear loose fitting clothing along with sandals to your tanning appointment. Plan to spend about 30 to 40 minutes at the salon. The actual tanning takes about 15-20 minutes but you will need to allow about 10 minutes for drying time. If you wish you can wear a dark coloured costume or garment of your preference during the application. The tanning solution washes out of most clothing very easily, but tends to stain light nylon materials.
Please do not wear soft contact lenses during the application of your tan.
Following the application:
Immediately following your tanning application, for at least 5 hours, you should not wash your hands or wear tight clothing. Please do not exercise as perspiring immediately after tanning alters the chemical reaction of the sun spray. Do not swim or immerse yourself in water. Do not apply moisturiser. Do not wear shoes or socks after your tanning session if your feet sweat. The sweat can turn your feet yellow or orange, sandals are a good choice.
Due to the reaction of the active ingredients with the amino acids of the skin, some clients, based on their particular body chemistry, will notice a "starch" smell on their skin shortly after their tanning application. This will disappear with the post-tan shower.
Post-Tan Shower:
Wait at least 8 hours after your tanning application before showering or bathing. You need to allow enough time for the reaction to take place so the longer the better. Do not be alarmed if you see colour washing off the first time you shower as this is just the surface colour application. Your skin will continue to tan as the self-tan reaction works on your skin.
Maintenance of your Tan:
Apply moisturiser morning and evening following your post-tan shower. A well hydrated skin is essential in maintaining a longer life to your tan.
Note: Lotions containing Alpha Hydroxyl Acids are used to increase exfoliation, therefore their use will accelerate the fading process of your tan.
Side effects:
There are no known harmful side effects reported from the use of the spray tan, and it is a safe alternative to the harmful effects of tanning by the sun or on a sun bed. A very small percentage of people are allergic to DHA and may break out in red spots. If you have reacted badly to sunless tanning lotions before, please advise Rosie prior to your tanning session. Rosie always recommend that you have a trial run 4-6 weeks before any important occasion.
