Frequently Asked Questions

We get it. There is a lot to take in. Here are some more insights and FAQ's for you about spray tanning with SugarTan.

  • How does a spray tan work?

    The active ingredient in our tanning solution is derived from eco-certified organic sugar-beets that react with the amino acids in in your skin's outermost layer to create the gorgeous tan that you desire. 

  • Use spray tan safe products.

    For the life of your tan (and in general) we recommend using products that are spray tan safe. Here's what we recommend:

    Sulfate free soap / shampoo.
    Mainly natural and organic ingredients.

    No mineral oil, petroleum, petrolatum in your makeup or moisturizers.

    Avoid artificial fragrances and colors, the alcohol dries out the skin.

  • When should I book my appointment?

    We recommend coming in 2-3 days before your event or wedding and 1-2 days before vacations. When booking, plan to stay dry for 10-12 hours after your appointment (5-6 hours with the accelerated option). This means no workouts, chores, showers, hair or nail appointments should follow your tanning appointment.

  • Who can get spray tanned?

    Unlike UV tanning, there is no age restrictions on sunless tanning. Pregnant women may want to consult their physician prior to scheduling an airbrush session. We spray men and women of all ages, skin tones, and skin types. If you're curious if a spray tan is right for you, please contact us! 

  • What should I wear during my spray tan session?

    The attire for women is whatever they are comfortable with. The cosmetic bronzers are water-soluble and should wash out, but the DHA in the tanning formula may permanently stain some fabrics. Disposable underwear, hair net and feet stickers are provided.

    The recommended attire for men are boxers, briefs, swim trunks or shorts. Please choose garments you won't mind getting cosmetic bronzer on.

    Your airbrush technician will always use the utmost discretion. 

  • How long does my spray tan last?

    If maintained properly, your glow can last 7-10 days. Be sure to follow the after-care instructions to prolong the life of your tan's life. Here are some recommendations:

    No waxing. When shaving, use a fresh razor and use a light touch. We also recommend using our self tan mousse or mist to prolong the glow on your legs as shaving is a must for most.

    Don’t exfoliate until the tan has mostly faded away.

    Using spray tan safe products is key.

    If you have or have recently had a sunburn you should not get a spray tan until your skin has healed.

    Peeling skin will leave you with patchy, uneven results. These results are not caused by the application or color formula used but the layers of skin peeling away.
