Spray tan tips:

BEFORE THE SESSION

  •  Take a shower at least 3 hours before the appointment.
  •  Shave, wax and exfoliate* the skin at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. It's important to allow the amino acids to reconstruct as DHA needs amino acids to develop. Also, the pores need time to close before the application otherwise it may leaves dark spots.
  •  Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream or other oil-based products as they could leave residues on the skin and prevent the solution from developing correctly.
  •  Do not wear makeup, cream, sunscreen, perfume or deodorant the day of the appointment.
  •  Moisturize the skin days prior the session (not the day of the appointment).
  •  The application can be done with or without undergarments or bathing suit.
  •  We recommend you to wear looses and dark colored clothing when leaving your appointment.

AFTER THE SESSION

  • Avoid activities that provoke sweating or any contact with liquid during the development period. If it's raining or snowing outside, wear long and covering clothes.
  •  Do not apply cream or makeup on the skin during the development period.
  •  If you will be sleeping with solutions on; go to bed wearing long clothes.
  •  Wait 8 to 12 hours or 1 to 5 hours before showering. depending on the solution. Refer to your artist for the adapted delay.
  •  Rinse the whole body and face thoroughly. Rinse until the water is clear. For the first shower, we recommend not using soap.
  •  Moisturize the skin daily with an appropriate lotion.
Use the NUDA Body Cream for best results.
  •  Excessive sweating, jacuzzis or saunas, taking long hot baths or showers often can cause faster fading.
  •  Do not wax areas where solution has been applied for the duration of the result. A delicate shaving may be done occasionally.
  •  Use gentle facial cleansers, no oil-based or exfoliating products.
  •  Avoid lotion, soap and body wash containing mineral oils, petroleum and alcohol. These ingredients can affect the result and cause a faster fading.
  •  Do not exfoliate the skin for the duration of the result.
When the tan starts to fade, exfoliate the skin again in order to remove the old tan residues.How long does a spray tan last?

A spray tan typically lasts about 7 to 10 days, depending on your skin type, the solution used, and how well you care for your skin post-tan. Lighter tans last around 5 days, while darker ones can last closer to 10 days.

Whats the difference between regular and dolce glow spray tan?

  1. Regular Spray Tan: Most regular spray tans use a standard DHA (dihydroxyacetone) solution to create a natural bronzed look. These tans may come in a variety of shades and tend to be more accessible and budget-friendly.

  2. Dolce Glow Spray Tan: Dolce Glow is known for its luxury tanning solutions, offering a deeper, more customized glow. Their formulas are designed to provide long-lasting color with a more high-end finish. Dolce Glow also emphasizes skin-nourishing ingredients like organic oils and antioxidants, making it more of a premium service.

What ingredients are inside the spray tan solution?

The main active ingredient in spray tan solutions is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which reacts with the outer layer of skin to create a tan. Some common additional ingredients include:

  • Aloe Vera: Hydrating and soothing.

  • Glycerin: To help retain moisture.

  • Vitamin E and C: Antioxidants for skin protection.

  • Erythrulose: Another tanning agent that works with DHA for a more natural, long-lasting tan.

  • Natural oils or extracts: Often included for nourishment, such as coconut or jojoba oil.

When is the best time to get a spray tan for an event?

It’s ideal to get a spray tan 1 to 2 days before your event. This allows the tan to fully develop and ensures that any initial bronzer washes off, leaving a more natural, even color.

How to prep for a spray tan?

Exfoliate your skin the night before to remove dead skin cells.

  1. Avoid moisturizers, deodorants, and makeup on the day of your tan, as they can interfere with the solution.

  2. Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

  3. Wear loose, dark clothing to your spray tan session to prevent staining.
