Will it turn me Orange?
No!
• In the past, self-tanners gave many individuals an unnatural orange glow and caused streaking.
• Most of these undesirable results were caused by improper or ineffective application techniques.
• Our Norvell technology used to apply the spray tan solution assures that all areas of the body receive a uniform coating of the solution in the exact quantity required to produce a golden brown tan.
What should I wear in the spray tanning booth?
• Many people do not wear anything. The room is completely private and if you would like to tan in the nude it is perfectly acceptable. However, if you do wear a bathing suit, underwear, or anything else, please be aware that whatever you wear may be stained, but in most cases, it will come out in the wash.
How long do I have to wait after a spray tanning session before I can shower?
• We recommend that you wait a minimum of 6-8 hours after tanning to give the DHA enough time to fully set. If you shower earlier, you may diminish the intensity of the tan. When you do shower the initial tan created by the water-soluble bronzer will wash off, but the DHA will remain and create your long-term tan.
Do I need to cover my hair while spray tanning?
• Many consumers wear disposable shower caps (provided for you) to keep the solution from getting in their hair. Other consumers tan without covering their hair. The solution will not penetrate the hair follicles.
How long after a spray tan session before I can put my clothes back on?
• The spray tan does include a blow-dry session so you should be able to put clothes back on immediately after the session. If you pursue any strenuous physical activity after your spray tan session, perspiration may cause some of the bronzer to transfer to your clothing. Since the bronzer is completely water-soluble it will wash out.
Has anyone had an allergic reaction to the chemicals used in the spray tan solution?
• All of the components of the spray tan solution have been used in cosmetics and food products for decades and have proven to be safe for use on the skin. If you have had previous allergic reactions to self-tanning lotions or cosmetics you may want to do a “patch test” by putting a small amount of the spray tan solution on a small area of the skin to test for possible reactions.
Because of my fair skin, I have never been able to tan before. Will the spray tan give me a tan?
• Yes.
The spray tan booth was designed specifically for individuals who can’t or don’t want to tan conventionally.
