Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sunless Tanning?
- Sunless Tanning is called Spray Tanning, so during the session you will get a temporary tan without the Sun, or the harmful UV rays.
How is a Sunless Tan done?
- During your session you will stand in a Spray Booth with proper protection & I will take a spray gun filled with solution and spray you. Almost like spray painting, except on your body. Unless you choose the Mousse route, then its just foamed solution blended evenly into your skin.
How to Prepare for a Sunless Tan?
- before your session: exfoliate, shave, wax, thread, all the above atleast 24-48 hours prior. After you are done showering, do not apply any barriers, meaning lotions, perfumes, deodorants, etc.
- during your session: wear dark loose fitted clothing & shoes. You can wear a bra & underwear or swimsuit (or I do have disposables) but they might get stained from the solution so keep that in mind. I will provide you with eye stickers, lip balm, feet protectors, pony tail, hair net, nose plug, barrier cream, & a balancing PH spray.
- after your session: lay low, do not sweat, exercise, rub on your skin, come in contact with water, anything for about 8+ hours. We recommend showering 8-12+ hours post session.
- post session: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, minimize your water exposure, meaning pools, hot tubs, baths, etc.
How long does a Sunless Tanning Session take?
- about 25/35 minutes
What is the drying time of a Sunless Tan?
- about five to ten minutes before you can get dressed after the session.
How long does a Sunless Tan last?
- roughly the average person can maintain a good tan about 5/10 days if properly cared for you can get the lifespan longer. It all depends on how your skin reacts, how well you take care of it, & your age.
How long until I can shower after my session?
- wait at-least 8-12 hours, the longer - the better. Your tan will be developed in roughly 8-10 hours. When you “shower” you’re actually doing a light rinse, meaning no more than a minute long, with cooler/lukewarm water. Hot water will strip your tan faster. Do not use any soaps, and pat down towel dry, do not rub. After you’re first rinse, your tan will deepen over the next 24-48 hours.
How do I get the Sunless Tan off my hands/feet?
- take some Windex or a antibacterial wipe/gel & scrub but be careful so you don't remove your tan elsewhere.
- purchase a tan remover product from Harlee.
How do I know what Sunless Solution I need?
- prior to your session submit the "Personalized Sunless Form" so we can match you to your custom session
Am I going to look orange?
- absolutely not! The reasoning individuals get the idea of looking "orange" is they go too dark with their selection of solution or too heavy of solution. The DHA that is in our solution reacts with your skin, if it sits too long, your skin may react & give you the orange pigment.
How often can I get Sunless Tan touched up?
- your tan will slowly start to fade after day 4/5. I recommend coming to get your tan retouched every 5 days before it starts to strip.
Is Sunless Tanning safe during pregnancy?
- it’s always advised to seek your physicians advice before proceeding. There has been no significant health risk from the DHA. Meaning I’ve sprayed numerous pregnant mamas & they’ve delivered healthy babes.
Will Sunless Tanning stain my hair?
- sometimes the solution can build up on the hair shaft, but it typically isn’t a problem nor noticeable. If you end up noticing some on your hair, it will wash out in the first shower. Again, this is unlikely because you’re required to wear a hair net to protect your hair from overspray.
Do I have to wear Sunscreen with a Sunless Tan?
- yes, getting a spray tan doesn’t protect you from the UV exposure. I recommend wearing a sunscreen with 30+ SPF. Keep in mind the sun does dry out your skin, which will limit the lifespan of your tan.
What is the difference between the SPRAY solution and the MOUSSE solution?
*Spray: this is done in a pop-up tanning booth, with a handheld spray gun & a light mist, followed by blending with a mitt. We recommend this for larger groups.
*Mousse: a self-tanner that’s a foam like product that is made for on the go, less messy, no overspray, and a bit thicker, blended in with a mitt. We recommend this for more 1:1 vs. a large group.
