• How does a spray tan work?
  Self-tanners use dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which reacts with skin proteins and oxygen to create a brown color on the skin’s surface. This is not a real tan (melanin increase) but a surface-level effect, similar to how a banana browns when exposed to air.

​

• How long does a sunless tan last?
  A sunless tan typically lasts 5-7 days, depending on application type, exfoliation, and skincare. Professional tans, like those from Glowing Bronze, can last 7-10 days due to higher DHA levels.

​

• Why is moisturizing important after tanning?
  Moisturized skin slows natural exfoliation, helping the tan last longer. Dry, flaky skin causes the color to fade faster.

​

• Will spray tan rub off on clothes?
  Cosmetic bronzers in spray tans may transfer to clothing or sheets, especially right after tanning. Wear loose, dark clothes and avoid sweating until showering. Most stains wash out easily.

​

• What should I wear to my tanning session?
  Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing after your session. Avoid wool, nylon, or silk for at least 8 hours, as DHA may stain these fabrics.
