A Healthy Alternative to Sun Tanning: A Comprehensive Guide to Spray Tanning Services
Most people desire a good sun-kissed glow, but unfortunately, sun tanning can cause harmful effects such as premature aging, skin damage, and skin cancer. Luckily, spray tanning provides a healthy alternative to sun tanning.
At Sunswirl Laser & Esthetics, we offer top-notch spray tanning services that provide a natural-looking tan without the harmful effects of the sun. Here’s a comprehensive guide to our spray tanning services.
How does Spray Tanning work?
Spray tanning involves the application of a fine mist of self-tanning solution to the skin. The solution contains Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colorless sugar that reacts with the skin's amino acids to produce a golden-brown color. The spray tan solution is applied using a handheld machine or a spray booth.
The spray tan solution contains ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, and other moisturizing ingredients that keep the skin hydrated, giving you a healthy-looking glow.
Benefits of Spray Tanning

Spray tanning offers a great alternative to sun tanning. It provides a natural-looking tan without the harmful effects of UV rays.
2. Quick and Convenient
Spray tanning is a quick and convenient way to achieve a sun-kissed look without spending hours in the sun. The entire process takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
3. Customizable

Spray tans typically last for about 5 to 7 days, depending on the specific brand used, how you care for your skin, and your skin type. With regular touch-ups, you can maintain a consistent sun-kissed look all year round.
Preparation for Spray Tanning
To ensure a flawless spray tan, it is important to prepare your skin beforehand. Here are some tips to help you prepare for a spray tan:
1. Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your session to remove dead skin cells and ensure an even application.
2. Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your session to prevent any irritation or skin damage.
3. Avoid using any products on your skin before your session, such as lotion, deodorant, or perfume.
4. Wear loose-fitting clothing to your session to avoid any rubbing or smudging of the tan.
Aftercare for Spray Tanning
To ensure your spray tan lasts as long as possible, it is important to take care of your skin afterwards. Here are some aftercare tips:
1. Avoid showering or getting wet for at least 8 hours after your session to allow the tan to fully develop.
2. Once the tan has developed, moisturize your skin daily to keep it hydrated and prevent it from fading too quickly.
3. Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, such as exercise, saunas, and hot tubs, as they can cause your tan to fade faster.
4. Avoid exfoliating your skin as it can remove the tan more quickly.
