What is Spray Tanning?

Spray tanning is quickly becoming a popular alternative to traditional salon tanning and sun-bathing. During this process, a solution is applied to the skin in the form of a fine mist. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), in the tanning solution, reacts with the amino acids on the outermost layer of the skin which results in tanned pigments known as melanoidans, similar to the naturally occuring melanin which results from UV exposure. DHA is an FDA approved sunless tanning ingredient, and is derived from sugar cane. Our solution is safe, cruelty free, and organic.  Our solution also contains bronzers as a visual aid to ensure expert application, and these rinse off after showering. The resulting tan will last anywhere from 5 to 12 days, and will fade naturally as your skin cells are shed in their natural cycle.
