Body Bronzing

Body Bronzing is the most effective sunless tanning method. The active ingredient in our solution is Dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA, a sugarcane derivative. When DHA is applied to the skin, it causes a reaction with the amino acids in the first layer of the skin, producing a tan. DHA will bronze the skin without the damaging affects of UVA and UVB exposure to the sun. Is Airbrush tanning safe? Yes! DHA has been used in sunless products since the 60's and is FDA approved. How long will my tan last? Anywhere from 6-10 days depending on the type and dryness of your skin. We recommend hydrating or exfoliating your skin prior to body bronzing for a longer lasting tan.

Will my Tan look orange or fake?
NO! A customized fine mist is sprayed on the skin and blends instantly. It is applied over the body and face with no streaks, blotches or that wet feeling.

What should I do BEFORE tanning?
  Shower and exfoliate
By exfoliating you are removing the dead skin cells as well as excess body oils that inhibit the solution from being absorbed most effectively. A gentle body loofa or other body scrub while in the shower will do the job. If you don't have anything to exfoliate with, you may purchase a product at Chill or come in and hydrate in our Spa Capsule prior to your appointment.

Shave or wax
Solutions will stick to body hair, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the spray and leaving an uneven tan. Allow time to heal after waxing (a day or so will work). Shaving is fine until the day of your appointment.

Skin is clean and free of sweat
Do not use any oils, toiletries, and lotions (deodorant, perfume, makeup...). For best results come as clean as possible. Also, elevated body temperature, perspiration or moisture on the skin can hinder DHA development and results.


What should I do AFTER tanning?
Allow about 5-10 minutes for the skin to dry before getting dressed in loose, comfortable clothing.
Do not shower for at least 6-8 hours to allow for a deep penetrating tan.
Refrain from perspiring for 6-8 hours after the application for best results.
Make sure to moisturize after your shower. This will extend the life of your tan.

What should I wear after the tan?
We recommend dark, loose, cotton clothing after your tan. The solution may rub off slightly while dressing but will wash out easily. Some materials such as silk, nylon, and leather can stain.

How long does the procedure take?
You will be in and out in less than 25 minutes.
