Spray Tanning

Spray Tan Preparation and Maintenance

  • Before your spray tan, exfoliate with South Seas ® Bora Bora Body Polish.
  • Remove Make Up before your session.
  • Bring a dark swimsuit or undergarment(s) to your session. Thongs acceptable.
  • Bring Flip Flops/Sandals to your session.
  • Wear dark, loose fitting clothing to your session. The cosmetic bronzer may rub off on your clothing.
  • After your tan, avoid swimming, showering or perspiring for at least 8 hours.
  • Any waxing should be done prior to your spray tan.
  • After showering, apply South Seas ® Moorea Moisterizer to hydrate your skin. Hydrated skin will prolong your spray tan.
  • Time spent in hot tubs or swimming pools may shorten the duration of the tan.
  • Two days after your tanning session, apply South Seas ® Tahitian Tan Extender to help prolong your tan.
  • Use South Seas ® Tahitian Tan Mist to touch up your face, hands and feet.

Tanning Facts:

  • The spray tan is evenly applied by a trained professional in less than 5 minutes.
  • The spray tan will last a week to ten days.
  • Your skin will not feel sticky and dries quickly.
  • The tan will fade similar to that of a natural suntan.
  • The primary active ingredient in all self tanners is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), produced from pure sugar cane, and is FDA approved for self tanning applications.
  • When applied, DHA works with the amino acids in your skin to produce a natural looking tan without orange discoloration.
  • There have not been any reported side effects from the use of DHA.
  • If you have ever had an allergic reaction to self tanners, we recommend that you abstain from spray tanning.
