All Spray Tans Are NOT Created Equal!

With summer slowly coming to a close, soon the best option for a sun-kissed glow will be the un-conventional (and safest!) route- the spray tan. 

The question I have gotten asked time and time again about the spray tans I offer: Will it make me ORANGE??  My short answer is, of course- No way!- but I feel compelled to explain the difference in our formula vs. other 'booth tans' or anything you can find in a drug store:
  1. The main and only active ingredient in most self-tanners is DHA- Dihydroxyacetone.  Used alone, this is responsible for the carrot-like appearance of many D-list celebs from a tiny city on the east coast.. you know the ones ;)
  2. Erythrulose is the magic-maker- this is the other key ingredient in my tanner!  Erythrulose produces a slower developing tan, taking 24 to 48 hours to fully develop. The final tone of erythrulose is slightly redder than the DHA based tan. When combined with DHA, the resulting sunless tan lasts longer, fades more smoothly, and produces a more cosmetically pleasing color tone that lasts for about 10 days.
  3. I airbrush all my clients by hand (and on-site if needed!), taking the time and care to ensure that you have a streak-free & flawless experience!
In a nutshell, I have been a sunless tanner for years now and never have I seen such an impressive, even tan until now.  If only I could figure out how to spray-tan the back side of my body... :)
