WHAT IS SUNLESS TANNING?
Sunless tanning is a popular way to enjoy the look of a tan without the need to go in the sun or tanning bed. Many years ago, the first spray tan introduced to the market contained dyes that left the skin orange and streaked. Today, thanks to modern technology, spray tans are the perfect solution for creating an instant, realistic tan without unsightly orange streaking.
HOW DO SPRAY TANS (DHA) WORK?
DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is used as a spray tan agent. It does not produce a “real tan” by increasing skin melanin levels, but it can create the tan appearance by way of the development of a brown skin coloring. The action of DHA is limited to the upper layer of the skin and involves a reaction between DHA and skin proteins. DHA reacts with the amino acids and amino groups of the skin’s keratin-forming brown colored compounds. The process takes place in the outer layers of the epidermis.

BEFORE YOUR SUNLESS TAN
SHOWER & EXFOLIATE
Shower and exfoliate your face and body. Ideally, this should be done a minimum of 6 hours before your spray tan. We suggest using a loofah or a dry brush.
CLEAN SKIN
We highly recommend for you to come in with clean, exfoliated skin. Avoid using any perfumes, deodorants, skin lotions, etc. before getting your spray tan.
WAX OR HAIR REMOVAL
Any waxing, laser hair removal or other skin type treatments should be conducted at least 24 hours prior to your sunless session.
SHAVE IN ADVANCE
For best results, waxing, laser hair removal or other skin type treatments should be conducted at least 24 hours prior to your sunless session.
WEAR DARK CLOTHING
Wear dark loose fitting clothing after the session if possible. It is best not to wear white for your spray tanning session.
AFTER YOUR SUNLESS TAN
SHOWER
Avoid coming into contact with water (i.e.: Shower, sweat from exercise, swimming) after your session, 6-8 hours minimum. The longer you wait, the better your color will turn out. After your shower, gently pat dry or air dry. DO NOT exfoliate or rub your skin with a towel.
MOISTURIZE & HYDRATE
Moisturizing is a vital step in extending the life of your Sunless Booth Tan. DO not use lotions containing mineral oil or fragrances. Drink lots of water. The more hydrated you are, the longer your tan will last.
SHAVING
Any shaving should be done with at least a three-blade razor is a downward motion. All shaving creams and gels should be replaced with an extremely light and natural non-alcohol based substitute.
SKIN CARE
No toners, astringents, salicylic acid, benzyl peroxide or sulfate products should be used. Perfumes may be applied to either clothing or hair. Do not spray directly on your skin.
Avoid Chlorine: Swimming pools, and hot tubs can remove the color and shorten the life of your Sunless Booth Tan.
RESULTS
Your VersaSpa Pro sunless spray tan should last you about 7 Days, of course depending on how much you are exfoliating and using the right after care products after your session. To achieve maximum results we recommend using Sunless Pro products sold at SolarSun Tanning Studios before and after your spray tan session
