Spray Tanning

Spray tanning is a popular cosmetic procedure that gives the skin a sun-kissed glow without exposure to harmful UV rays. It involves applying a fine mist of tanning solution, typically containing the active ingredient DHA (dihydroxyacetone), to the skin’s surface. DHA reacts with the amino acids in the outer layer of the skin, producing a temporary bronze or tan color that mimics the look of a natural suntan.

The spray tan can be applied manually by a technician using a handheld spray gun or in an automated booth. The process is quick, usually taking around 10 to 20 minutes, and results are visible within a few hours, reaching their full effect after 8–12 hours. Most spray tans last between 5 to 10 days, depending on skin type, aftercare, and how often the skin is exfoliated or moisturized.

Spray tanning is a safe alternative to sunbathing or tanning beds, making it a popular choice for people who want a bronzed look without the risk of sun damage. It’s suitable for all skin tones and can be customized in terms of shade and intensity. For best results, it’s recommended to exfoliate before the session and avoid showering, sweating, or applying lotions for several hours afterward to allow the tan to develop properly.
