Spray Tanning London, Ontario
What is a Spray Tan?
A spray tan is a sunless tanning treatment where a fine mist is applied to the skin to create a natural-looking, bronzed glow.
The active ingredient, DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), reacts with the top layer of your skin to develop a tan without exposure to harmful UV rays.

Spray Tan Aftercare
Proper aftercare helps your tan develop evenly and can help extend the life of your colour.

-
Avoid sweating, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and prolonged water exposure during the development period.
-
Rinse according to the instructions provided after your appointment.
-
Avoid harsh exfoliation while maintaining your tan.
-
Moisturize your skin daily to help maintain an even glow.
-
Avoid excessive exfoliation and hair removal, which can cause your tan to fade more quickly.

Q1:Will I turn orange?
A: When used as recommended, at Dolledupbydalxo we use NUDA sunless tanning products and they are formulated to offer a natural-looking bronzed complexion.
Q2: Are spray tans safe during pregnancy?
A: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your healthcare provider before receiving a spray tan. Your healthcare provider can advise you based on your individual circumstances.
Q3: What is DHA?
A: DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient in all sunless tanning products. It is a sugar molecule which is naturally derived from the beets or the sugar cane and the fermentation of glycerine. This ingredient reacts to the amino acids on the surface of the skin to simulate a tan. The intensity of the final tan will depend on the strength of DHA contained within the product.
Q4: Do Spray Tans protect the skin from UV Rays?
A: No, our products do not contain any UV-protective agents. Our solutions do not protect skin from being sunburned and your skin can still tan. You should always recommend your clients to apply sunscreen prior to exposing their skin to the sun.
Q5: How long will my spray tan results last?
A: A spray tan typically lasts several days and can last up to approximately 5–10 days with proper preparation and aftercare. Longevity varies depending on your skin type, lifestyle, showering habits, exfoliation, hair removal, and how well your skin is moisturized.
Q6: Is spray tanning suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Many clients with sensitive skin enjoy spray tanning, but individual reactions can vary. If you have sensitive skin, allergies, or a history of reactions to tanning products, please let us know before your appointment. A patch test may be recommended before a full application.
Q7:How long does a spray tan take to develop?
A:Development time depends on the solution used. Standard solutions generally develop over approximately 8–12 hours, while rapid solutions can have shorter development times. You will receive specific rinse instructions based on the solution selected for your appointment.
Q8: When can I shower after my spray tan?
A: Your first rinse should be completed according to the development time recommended for your specific solution. Avoid using hot water, harsh soaps, or exfoliating products during your first rinse.
Q9: Are there any risks to spray tanning?
A: While spray tanning is generally a safe way to achieve a natural-looking glow, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to DHA. If you suspect your client could be sensitive, it’s best to perform a patch test on the stomach area before a full application. The skin in this area tends to show reactions quickly, making it an ideal spot to determine if the product is suitable.
Q10:Will my spray tan transfer onto clothing or sheets?
A: The cosmetic bronzer used during application can transfer onto clothing or bedding, particularly before the first rinse. Wear loose, dark clothing after your appointment and follow your aftercare instructions during the development period.
Q11: What's the difference between regular spray tan solutions and express solutions?
A: Regular tanning solutions typically take 8 to 12 hours to fully develop before rinsing. They’re ideal for clients who want to see their tan results right after their first shower.
Rapid tanning solutions are perfect for clients who need a quick turnaround. The depth of the tan depends on how long the solution is left on before showering. The recommended development time is 1 to 5 hours:
-
1–2 hours for a light tan
-
3–4 hours for a medium tan
-
4–5 hours for a dark tan
The color will continue to deepen and fully develop within 24 hours after showering.
Q12: What should I use to maintain their tan results?
A: Your clients should moisturize and wash their skin daily with a lotion and body wash that are made with safe ingredients for their tan.
