About air brush tanning

The ‘tanning’ lotions contain the active ingredient DHA that is found in the majority of tanning products. DHA or Dihydroxyacetone is a chemical that reacts with amino acids in the uppermost layer of the skin and causes them to turn brown. DHA has been used safely in cosmetics for over 30 years.

Following exfoliation, an airbrush or spray gun is used to spray an exact combination of air and tanning lotion directly onto the skin. A short treatment will achieve a flawless tan that develops over a period of 5 hours.

One initial tan will last up to 10 days, depending on skin type and care. 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. Booking for a “double application” ensures an even longer lasting and more natural looking tan and offers a cost saving.

Tanning Lotions are available in light, medium or dark shades to suit all skin tones and contains no sunscreens, but can be used in conjunction with normal sunbathing provided sun protection cream is used at all times.

One treatment will give an excellent base colour prior to sun bathing. Normal sunbathing can then be undertaken at a slower, safer pace. The result is a deeper, longer lasting, healthier suntan.
