  • The "orange" effect comes from poorly treated DHA or skin sensitivity. Too much DHA or an imbalance in the solution can cause this. We balance DHA perfectly for your skin type, determined using the Fitzpatrick Scale.

  • Dermatologists and estheticians use it to determine your skin's reaction to the sun and your DHA threshold.

  • DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is derived from refined beets and sugar cane. It's FDA-approved and safe. It reacts with amino acids in your skin's top layer to create a tan, similar to sun tanning.

  • DHA can dry out skin if not moisturized. We use water-based moisturizing agents to keep your skin hydrated.

  • DHA has a naturally sweet smell. When prepared for spray tanning, it retains a fresh, clean scent.

  • A spray tan typically lasts 7-10 days and fades evenly, like a natural tan. Exfoliating will speed up this process.

  • Consult your physician before getting a spray tan if pregnant or breastfeeding. Transfer can happen during breastfeeding before the initial rinse, so pump or nurse closest to your appointment. Nipple pads, or a bra are suggested to avoid leakage, we provide disposables in both items!

  • Bronzer provides the instant tan look before DHA develops. It washes off in the shower.

  • We offer a dye-free and bronzer-free silk rapid solution that develops based on your skin's natural tones for a neutral tan.
