Is spray tanning safe?
Yes! DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the sunless agent used in tanning solutions. It is usually derived from vegetables or sugar cane and reacts with the top layer of your skin to give you a natural-looking tan that is unique to your skin tone. DHA is approved by the FDA and is considered nontoxic and noncarcinogenic. No adverse effects have been reported other than minor skin irritations on allergic people. Allergic reactions are extremely rare and can usually be eliminated by showering. Spray tanning is FREE of harmful UV sun rays and skin cancer and aging that can result from those rays. It is also recommended by the Skin Cancer Organization, American Academy of Dermatology, American Medical Association and the American Cancer Society.
Will I smell?
Some scent cannot be avoided but most formulas aren’t as bad as they once were.
Can I tan if I’m pregnant?
It is usually recommended to wait until after your first trimester but, yes you can spray tan when you are pregnant. The solution only reacts with the top layer of your skin, it doesn’t enter the bloodstream. However, we do recommend that you consult with your physician first.
Can I sleep in it?
Yes! Unless it’s a rapid tan, you can sleep in it. Be sure to wait until the spray tan is not sticky feeling before going to bed. If it is, Just make sure to wear long pajamas so you don’t transfer the solution in your sleep. If it gets on your sheets, it will come out in the wash.
Do I still need to wear sunscreen if I have a spray tan?
YES! Spray tanning does not protect you against the sun and you can get a real tan or burn through your spray tan.
