Spray tanning is accomplished by application of a solution containing the active ingredient: DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA is considered to be safe and has been FDA approved ONLY if you follow guidelines to protect mucous membranes.
The FDA advises asking the following questions when considering the application of DHA by spraying or misting:
1. Are you protected from exposure in the entire area of the eyes, in addition to the eyes themselves?
2. Are you protected from exposure on the lips and all parts of the body covered by mucous membrane?
3. Are you protected from internal exposure caused by inhaling or ingesting the product? If the answer to any of these questions is "no," you are not protected from the unapproved use of DHA. Protective gear is available.
You will enter a private area where you will remove your clothing to your level of comfort. You should wear a dark swimsuit or underwear. Males must wear underwear or swim trunks. Spa undergarments are available upon request. The solution will wash out of most clothing. It is always best to wear dark, loose-fitting cotton clothing. It is advised to wash the undergarment or clothing worn as soon as possible after your session.
You will be airbrushed by a Certified Bronzing Artist. This process will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. After spraying, your skin should be dry before putting your clothes back on and you should not bathe or sweat excessively for 6 to 8 hours. The solution will give you an immediate bronzing effect. The bronzing effect is a result of a coloring additive in the solution that will remain on the skin until you are actually tan. When you rinse for the first time, the bronzer will come off to reveal your actual tan beneath.
All ingredients used in this procedure are intended for cosmetic use and generally regarded as safe. There are, however, occasions where individuals may be allergic to one or more ingredients in the spray tan solution. Please read the ingredients list if you have any known allergies.
Be advised there is a small percentage of people whose skin may not react favorably to spray tanning. For this reason, we do NOT advise being sprayed for the first time when your appearance is critical; (Wedding, Photo Shoot, Prom, etc.)
Caution: Pregnant or nursing women should consult their physician before using.
Warning: This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure of unprotected skin to U.V. Light may increase the risk of skin aging, skin cancer and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.
