Never. Coat of Bronze created a brown-sugar based solution derived from green apples. The brown sugar base ensures golden brown color eliminating all possibilities of an orange tone. Other solutions on the market may contain beat or carrot fermented extracts and harsh chemicals. This is where the orange tones and unpleasant smells come from. We guarantee the highest quality, golden-bronzed results.
Thoroughly exfoliate, shave or wax 18-24 hours prior to your treatment. Have a manicure and/or pedicure done 24 hours before your treatment. Avoid wearing make up, moisturizers and deodorant to your appointment as this acts as a barrier to the spray and can prevent the color from developing correctly. Do not use any soaps with oils in before you tan. (Glycerin soap is ideal because it leaves the least amount of residue on your skin.)
Our Spray Tan Solution is derived from natural ingredients and will wash out of clothing.
We suggest washing any spray tan off of your clothes within a few hours to stay on the safe side. We always recommend wearing dark colored, baggy and loose fitting clothing to your spray tan appointment to avoid rubbing of the freshly applied tan. Even if a little tan does rub onto your clothing don't worry! Soap and water will get the tan right out.
All spray tanning solutions contain the ingredient, (DHA) or dihydroxyacetone, which is actually derived from vegetables. This ingredient is key in any tanning solution as it absorbs into the top layer of the skin, the same way any moisturizer would. DHA is a 100% natural tanning agent that reacts with the amino acids in the skin to produce a rich, completely natural looking tan. DHA is currently used in todays makeup, skin care products and food ingredients. This has been used for almost 30 years and was listed with the FDA in 1973.
A Coat of Bronze Spray Tan will generally last anywhere from 8-10 days.
Preparation, after care, and the amount of physical activity you preform are all factors of how many days you can expect your tan to last. We offer Coat of Bronze Tan Extender in our studio and online, available for purchase. A great addition to moisturize your skin and help extend your tan.
To maintain your spray tans vitality and color tone its important to preform good after care. Here are a few tips!
We recommend that you do not shower or exercise/sweat for the recommended amount of time instructed by your technician following your appointment. We will let you know post-appointment as to when the best time to rinse off your freshly applied tan.
To care for your sunless tan make sure to moisturize with a light lotion every day. Keeping moisturized will ensure an even, flawless fade. Coat of Bronze Tan Extender Lotion is recommended for best results. It will moisturize your skin and add a little bit of DHA to your tan every time you apply, this is a game changer!
To prolong the life of your tan avoid chlorinated Jacuzzis, saunas, and steam rooms when possible. Massages aren't recommended as the rubbing can cause uneven wearing of the tan as it naturally fades.
Hot showers can be harsh on the tan. For the best results shorten your showers and keep the temp to a nice warm temperature.
After your showers always pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. We want to minimize the exfoliation and abrasion while you have your spray tan.
Avoid harsh chemicals and oily soaps and exfoliators.
Try to avoid sweating and intense exercise to make your spray tan last as long as possible! We know how important exercise is, and we don't want to stop you from doing what you love. Just know that the more you sweat the more you are compromising the life of your spray tan. The rubbing of the underarms and inner thighs are common especially during exercise. Remember, rubbing is bad for your spray tan.
Please don’t consider hair removal after a spray tan. Whether it is shaving or waxing after a spray tan, hair removal is deep exfoliation for your skin and it will lead to uneven removal of the color.
That is why it is recommended to have the hair removal session prior to the spray tan session.
Ladies, that's up to you! Its really your choice, whatever you're comfortable with. We just want you to have a very comfortable experience and leave with a fantastic tan.
For gentlemen we require you to wear your boxers or equivalent.
Wearing dark, loose fitting clothes and preferably flip flops is the best way to go. We recommend not wearing tight fitting leggings or jeans.
You want to minimize the freshly applied spray tan from contacting clothing.
Our Spray Tan Technicians will have you in and out of the tanning salon in only 20 minutes!
Absolutely. Our solution helps hydrate dry skin. We recommend you use a moisturizer the week leading up to your tan. However please arrive 'moisturizer free' with exfoliated dry skin when possible. We do have in-store hydrating tan extender for your purchase.
Our spray tan formula is fast developing, so there is no need to sleep in it overnight. By hour three (post appointment) your tan has finished developing. Sleeping in the spray tan can cause unevenness from wrinkles in the sheets and rubbing. We always recommend you rinse after your tanning session before bed time.
Your Spray Tan Technician will work with you to get you the results you are looking for. Whether that's a light glow or a dark tan we can do it all.
Always rinse your face with warm water and no soap.
Rinse your body off with warm water and no soap.
