Simply put, it is a new and futuristic way of tanning your skin without exposure to harmful UV radiation. A trained tanning technician can apply the “Summer Solutions Spray Tan” with an airbrush in just a few minutes.

How does it work?

The active ingredient, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) reacts with the amino acids (proteins) in the outermost “dead” layers of your skin, giving it a nice golden brown color after several hours—much like exposure to the sun or sun tanning lamps. But, unlike the sun, there is no damage to the underlying living layers of your skin. There is also an external bronzing agent available in our tanning spray, which begins to show almost immediately.

How safe is it?

The active ingredient, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), has been FDA approved for cosmetic use for more than 40 years. It has been used safely for those years in numerous products, such as tanning lotions and creams. Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons are using it in their practices all over the world to help their patients with various skin problems.

How long will it last?

It will vary with your skin type and how you care for your skin, but you can expect your tan to last between 7 and 10 days. If you use “Summer Solutions Body Polish” to exfoliate before you tan and “Summer Solutions Moisturizer with DHA” after your session, you can expect even better results. Your tan will fade just like a natural tan, only with a Summer Solutions Tan there is never any peeling!

Is it better than Tanning Creams or Lotions?

Imagine the difference between wearing oven mitts on your hands to smear paint over your car and using an airbrush to paint it!! Even with the greatest of care and help from a friend to get all the places you can't reach, you won't be able to duplicate the evenness and natural look of an airbrushed tan. The secret to DHA-based tanning products is in the formulation and application process. By formulating the solution into a product capable of being sprayed on, it is much easier to get a completely natural and perfectly even looking tan. Just as you would always use a professional to paint your car, you should always let a professional apply your tan.

How long does it take?

It only takes about 10 minutes for a trained technician to spray your entire body in complete privacy. Add in another 10 minutes for drying and you're done. In less than 30 minutes a week, you can have a beautiful golden brown tan year-round and without dangerous UV rays.

What do I need to do before my tanning session?

1. The morning before your tanning session, be sure to shower and thoroughly exfoliate your skin. We recommend Using “Summer Solutions Body Polish” to accomplish this.
2. If you have areas of skin that you shave or wax, do this before your tanning appointment as well.
3. If you are wearing makeup, you should remove it before you are sprayed to achieve the best results.
4. Don't use moisturizers, body oils, lotions, or perfume at least four hours before your appointment.
5. Wear dark colored undergarments or a bathing suit under your clothing to your appointment, preferably cotton.
6. Bring or wear loose-fitting clothing to change into after you have been sprayed.

1. When you are completely dry, get dressed in loose-fitting clothing, preferably dark in color and made of cotton.
2. Your skin will feel somewhat tacky even after you are dry. This is normal and it will become less noticeable in a short time.
3. Avoid socks and athletic shoes if possible, sandals are your best bet for the first few hours.
4. Don't shower or do any strenuous exercise for eight hours after you have been sprayed.
5. After your shower, you should use a quality moisturizer everywhere you have been sprayed. We recommend “Summer Solutions Moisturizer with DHA.”
6. Until your next tanning session, you should continue to use “Summer Solutions Moisturizer with DHA” after each shower. This will ensure that your tan will last as long as possible. Also, it will make your tan wear and fade more evenly.
