Spray tanning, also known as sunless tanning or airbrush tanning, is a technique consisting of applying a fine mist of specially formulated solution onto the skin. The solution can be applied by either a sunless professional utilizing a HVLP machine or an automatic booth. Safer than sunbathing or tanning beds, spray tanning is one of the fastest-growing services in the beauty industry.

NUDA sunless tanning solutions are composed of two tanning agents. The first is a cosmetic bronzer. The cosmetic bronzer is a temporary dye that serves as a guideline for you, the sunless artist and gives the skin some immediate color as a form of instant gratification for the client. The bronzer is temporary and will wash off during the first shower.

The second component is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), a compound that reacts to the outermost layer of the skin to produce a gorgeous tan. Unlike UV, DHA does not penetrate beyond the skin's surface. DHA is the main ingredient found in all spray tanning solutions and self tanning products currently sold on the market. DHA is a molecule extracted from sugar cane or beets and made by glycerine fermentation. In its purest form, DHA is a colorless, odorless molecule hence why NUDA solutions contain bronzer.

This ingredient is the most effective component found in sunless tanning with a concentration between 1% (light) and 14% (ultra dark). DHA can be used alone or with other tanning ingredients such as erythrulose. DHA is a safe ingredient approved by Health Canada and the United States Food and Drugs Administration for external use only.

As a spray tan professional, I love helping my clients feel good in their own skin.  If you’re one of those people who feels more beautiful with tanned skin, avoid the skin damage that comes with the tanning bed and try a spray tan!  Before you get started, here are my golden rules for spray tanning that you must follow to ensure your success:

1. Choose your location carefully.  Only go somewhere that uses professional airbrush tanning solution! If it’s not a professional solution, go somewhere else or risk being orange.
2. Schedule intelligently.  This may seem like a no brainer, but don’t try your first spray tan right before an event. Try it one month before your party, graduation, vacation, or wedding then monitor your tan each day to determine when your color looks its best.  For most people, a spray tan looks best two days after application.
3. Prep your skin.  Before your appointment, shave all unwanted hair and exfoliate with an oil-free body scrub or soap, using a loofa or washcloth. 
4. Arrive with bare skin.  Show up to your appointment with completely clean skin as products can prevent even application. This means no makeup, sunscreen, lotion, oil, deodorant, moisturizer, or perfume!
5. Dress accordingly.  Wear whatever makes you most comfortable, whether it be an old swimsuit, underwear, or nothing at all. This decision is completely up to you. Also, be sure to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and flip flops after your session. The tighter your clothes, the more likely you are to streak and the lighter the color of your clothes, the more likely the fabric is to stain.
6. Stand still.  Once you’re ready to start the spray tan, stand still, close your eyes and anticipate the cold! Wiggling around can cause streaking and an uneven application of the spray tan.
7. Shower properly.  After your spray tan, wait 10-12 hours to shower. The solution can take anywhere from 6-12 hours to develop, and showering too early can lighten the color. When you do shower, use mild soaps and stay away from scrubs and brushes for a week.  When you get out, instead of wiping your skin, be gentle and just pat yourself down.  Follow up with a heavy moisturizing lotion to extend the life of your tan and help it fade more evenly.
8. Skip your workout.  Yes, you heard right! Avoid the gym until after your shower (10-12 hours after your spray tan) or risk ending up with streaks from your sweat.
