No! Before your appointment we will sit down and discuss your goals for the tan & choose a solution that fits your needs, goals, & undertones. During this time we will also manage expectations. When used as recommended, our applications are formulated to give a natural glow, starting with our perfectly blended instant cosmetic bronzers that allow you to gently transition into your DHA tan. Over saturation of DHA can cause orange tones, we spray in a way that oversaturation will not happen. If we use a rapid solution (allowing you to shower in 2-6 hours), it is imperative you shower at the time discussed.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the main tanning agent used in sunless tanners. Rather than darkening skin by increasing melanin levels like a real tan, DHA reacts with proteins and oxygen in the outermost skin layer to form brown compounds that stain the surface, much like a sliced apple browns when exposed to air. The depth of color depends on the DHA concentration and each person's skin traits. Color starts to show in 2-4 hours and typically lasts 5-7 days before fading, as the stained dead cells naturally exfoliate.

DHA is an acronym for Dihydroxyacetone.DHA is the active ingredient found in all sunless tanning products. It is a simple carbohydrate that is derived from sugar beets. DHA does not make your skin cells darker in pigmentation, but rather reacts with the proteins and amino acids found in the top layer of your skin to create a darkening effect or ‘sunless tan’.

Typically 5-7 days. The longevity of a sunless tan depends on the skin’s natural exfoliation process and on the skincare regimen followed before and after application. The “life span” of a sunless tan also depends on your skin’s natural exfoliation. The faster your skin turns over, the faster the sunless tan will fade. The tan created by the DHA affects only the top layer of the skin and will begin to fade after 4 to 5 days as the skin naturally begins to exfoliate. Following a good skin care regimen before and after sunless tanning will help a sunless tan last longer. Exfoliating prior to a sunless tanning application and keeping skin moisturized afterwards are essential.

No. It is common to get a false sense of security when you have been spray tanned. Your skin will still burn when overexposed.It is still necessary to apply SPF lotions when in the sun. Spray tan solutions contain NO amount of SPF, be sure to get a spray tan save SPF (no aerosols or oils).

It is recommended that individuals not tan more than 3 times in a 2 week period, to avoid build-up of tanning solution that will contribute to uneven wear-off. This allows a complete cycle of natural exfoliation and eliminates patchiness or uneven areas of wear, such as around the waist, inside the arms where the elbow bends, underarms, and backs of knees. These are natural areas of the body where friction from clothing and daily activities may cause premature exfoliation.

The spray tan can help fill in unwanted tan lines! We can’t guarantee 100% but it definitely will help even them out. We highly recommend for big life events and brides especially, to wear sunscreen and avoid getting tan lines from sun exposure as we can’t cover them up completely.

The simple answer is, no. It is actually important to not shower directly before your spray tan appointment because your pores will be open and the spray tan won’t absorb properly. It is recommended that you shower 2 hours before your spray tan, or not at all, and just utilize our refreshing cloths.

Yes, we will tan anyone, everyone deserves to be tan without the harmful UV rays. We just ask that you wear bottoms for your service.

It isn’t ideal to spray tan with a sunburn. If your skin ends up peeling, it will take the spray tan along with it, creating a highly contrasting wear-off in pigmentation. If you must spray tan with a sunburn, it is recommended you stay hydrated and moisturized.

No. Coconut oil is used to protect your nails and cuticles from spray tan solution. At the end of the spray tan, your nails and base of your feet are wipes off to remove both solution and the coconut oil.

Yes! But please double check with your physician (we’re not the doctors). We use a nontoxic, food grade product. The spray tan rests within the outer most layer of skin, so the only stipulation would be inhalation. We have ventilation in the rooms and you are welcome to wear nose plugs.

Some of the bronze color may rub off on clothing or bed sheets. This is most likely to happen when you get dressed immediately after tanning. To minimize the chance of the bronzers transferring to clothing, we recommend you wear loose-fitting, darker clothes after your spray session. Try to refrain from physical exertion that could result in your sweating until you shower and wash off the cosmetic bronzers. All cosmetic bronzers used with our products are water-soluble. Therefore, in most cases, the color will come out of clothing in the wash. It is however important to note bronzers may stain wool, spandex, lycra, silks or other fine fabrics.

During the spray tan, females can dress down to their comfortability, wearing as much or as little as they would like. Luxe provides disposable thongs, disposable bras, hair ties & hairnets, but you are also welcome to bring your own swimsuit, wear your undergarments, etc. For special events, keep in mind your outfit, for example a open backed dress, it is recommended you bring nipple covers or be topless. Males must wear bottoms, at minimum a speedo. We prioritize your comfort and modesty during the spray tan process, and we are available to address any concerns or provide further guidance on attire for your session.

Many individual factors can contribute to patch or uneven wear-off, as each person’s skin is different. Be sure to gently polish the skin before each sunless session using a gentle skin exfoliator. Keep skin hydrated on the inside and out. Drink plenty of water & use skin-safe moisturizers. It is also recommended that individuals not tan more than 3 times in a 2 week period, to avoid build-up of tanning solution that will contribute to uneven wear-off.

It is recommended to wait 2 days before sweating and doing rigorous workouts. Sweat can cause the spray tan to wear off and become patchy. If you don’t want to miss a workout, a light workout is suggested. Just be sure not to wipe your sweat, pat yourself dry!

We recommend avoiding these situations for the first 48 hours following your spray tan. Chlorinated pools & spas can increase the rate in which the skin exfoliates causing the tan to wear and fade rapidly.

It is important to keep skin moisturized after sunless tanning as dry, flaky skin will slough off faster and color will fade sooner. Your goal is to slow down your body’s natural exfoliation process.
