WHAT IS AIRBRUSH TANNING?
Airbrush Tanning, also known as spray tanning, is a unique process of applying tanning solution to your body using an airbrush. The solution goes on smoothly and evenly ensuring no orange tinting or streaking. The process is different from the spray booths, as it is applied by hand to your body by a trained and certified technician.
WHAT TYPE OF SOLUTION IS USED?
The solution that Shimmer Tanning uses is approved by the FDA for cosmetic purposes. The main ingredient is Dihidroxyacetone, the same ingredient that is used in self-tanners. Our solution is all organic and paraben free.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE FOR MY TAN?
Please shower, shave, and exfoliate. Do not apply deodorant, makeup or lotion prior to the tan. Make sure you have loose clothing to wear afterwards. It is important to use a water-based exfoliate. Oil-based exfoliants will interfere with your tan.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO AFTER MY TAN?
Do not shower for at least 6 hours afterwards. Take warm showers (not hot), and moisturize twice daily. Use our tan extending lotions and touch-up mists to help preserve your tan. If you will be using hot-tubs, swimming pools, or shaving we highly advise you to use our tan extending product. This will help you acheive the longest lasting tan.
HOW LONG WILL MY TAN LAST?
Your tan can last up to 10 days as long as you take care of your skin. The solution we use is longer lasting than most.
WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR FOR MY TAN?
We advise you to wear a dark colored bathing suit or underwear.
Women have the option of tanning in the nude, but we ask that men wear
some type of swimsuit or underwear.
