How Does Spray Tanning Work?
The ingredient that tans your skin is dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colorless sugar that interacts with dead skin cells to create the tanned color. The DHA causes a chemical reaction with the proteins in the outer most layers of the skin, which causes the color of the skin to change, creating a natural tan. A spray tan does not dye the skin; the immediate color you see when your tan is applied is a color guide or bronzer that helps the technician not miss any sections and allows you to instantly see your tan.
How Do I Prepare For My Spray Tan?
1. Shower 12-24 hours prior to your tan. Spray tans develop best on dry skin
2. Exfoliate your skin to remove any old skin or residual spray tan. Exfoliating creates a clean slate which is perfect for spray tans. The reality is the fresher your skin is the longer your tan will last before it begins to fade.
3. Shave the morning of your spray tan, but only if the service is still a few hours away, and only if you have time to exfoliate your skin afterwards. The reason for this is because shaving opens up the skins pores, and shaving cream can leave a residue on your skin.
