SUNLESS TANNING FAQ'S

  • How does airbrush tanning work?
    The key ingredient in organic airbrush tanning is DHA (dihydroxyacetone). This colorless sugar is behind the magic in the tanning process. An organic bronzer will provide immediate tanning results while the clear solution application requires eight to 12 hours to become fully developed. Please note that you may see color washing off during your first shower after the application process. You are not losing the tanning effect! This is merely a remnant of the bronzer.

  • How does the application process work? How long does it take?
    We use handheld airbrushing equipment which allows us to provide a more natural looking, customized result. The initial application takes about 20 minutes followed by a five-minute drying application. After the initial application, we recommend waiting eight to 12 hours before showering to give the solution time to fully process.

  • What should I wear during my tanning session?
    If you are a woman, you may wear your own lingerie, bathing suit, or one of our disposable thongs. Also, you may opt for no tan lines at all! Men are required to wear underwear or a swimsuit, and there are no exceptions.

  • Is spray tanning for all ages?
    Yes, however, we do require the presence of a parent or guardian for those under the age of 18.

  • Are there any unpleasant side effects to spray tanning?
    Our spray solution is not sticky, has no scent, and it will not make you orange!

  • Can anyone spray tan?
    Spray tanning is suitable to most people. However, we suggest that pregnant women consult a physician before a tanning session. Also, those who are on Accutane should not spray tan. Clients concerned about sensitivity may request a complimentary patch test.

  • How long can I expect my tan to last?
    Normally, the process will last seven to 10 days. It depends on yours activities and skin type. The body is constantly shedding skin cells, and this process varies from individual to individual. Moisturizing with hydrating lotion often will help your tan last longer.

  • A Note About Special Events
    Vacation? GLŌ Essentials recommends you get your spray tan as close to your vacation as possible to achieve optimum results. Celebrating a special event? Plan your tan three to four days before your event, prom or wedding day so you can look and feel your best!
