HEALTHY TAN

Tanning Tips

1. Shower or bathe and exfoliate before the tanning session.

2. Wear loose fitting clothes and shoes following the session. Tight fitting clothes and shoes may squeeze the product out of the cells which could result in non-tanned areas.

3. Limit your physical activity for several hours following your session. Perspiration may adversely affect the results of the tanning session and should be avoided for at least four hours while the product is developing.

4. Avoid immersion in water for as long as possible. It is important to allow the tan to develop before shedding skin cells.

5. If you wear a garment during the session, it will leave tan lines just like a tan from the sun. The garment should be washed following the session. If the garment requires hand washing, wear rubber gloves.

6. DHA reacts with wool, nylon and silk. We do not recommend wearing these fabrics during your tanning session

7. Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! This is the best way to maintain your Healthy Tan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does Healthy Tan "tan" the skin without the sun?

A. The active ingredient in Healthy Tan causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids in the top layer of the skin (the epidermis) to produce a nice tan, just like the sun does, but without damage to the skin.

Q. Is this spray on my skin safe?

A. The active ingredient, DHA, has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic applications and has been used for over 30 years without harmful effects. Some people are allergic to DHA and may break out in a rash but that occurrence is rare and usually short in duration.

Q. How long does the Healthy Tan last?

A. From 3-10 days; it depends on you. We have found the length of the tan is determined by

1. The skin type - a person's skin type will react to Healthy Tan very much like it does to natural sun.
2. The amount of "wear" - only the outermost layer of skin is tanned. As the skin layer is lost, so is the tan. Wear comes from rubbing, soaking in water, long showers or tight clothing. Remember, the more abrasive you are to your skin, the sooner you will loose your tan.

Q. How long does the application process take?

A. About seven to ten minutes to apply and up to ten minutes to dry.

Q. How often should I tan?

A.We suggest once or twice a week, depending on your personal tan "wear". We will not schedule tanning sessions more than twice per week.

Q. What should I wear to be sprayed and will it damage my clothes?

A. You can wear anything you like, depending on where you want tan lines. Any garment worn should be washed that same day.
