SUNLESS "cancer safe" TANNING
Introducing the first "lay down" airbrush tanning application! Your tan will last about a week and fade naturally.
What to Expect From Your Treatment
Disposable garments will be provided. If you're more comfortable in a bathing suit, bring a dark-colored suit (or your garment of preference). The ESS Solei Sunless Tanning Mist solution washes out of most clothing very easily but tends to stain light-colored nylon or other lighted-colored synthetic materials.
Preparing for the Treatment
• Ideally, you should shower and exfoliate to prime skin just prior to your ESS Solei Sunless Tanning Mist application.
• Remove all lotions, creams, deodorants and makeup from the skin before a treatment or discoloration can occur.
• Waxing or shaving should be avoided a few hours prior to treatment. This includes facial waxing.
• All jewelry should be avoided a few hours prior to treatment.
• Wear dark, loose clothing and shoes to your appointment. Tight-fitting clothing can affect tanning results.
• Plan not to get wet or excessively perspire for at least 5 hours. You will see some color wash off the first time you shower, this is just the surface color. Your skin will continue to tan for 24 hours as the mist formula develops.
After Care
Wait at least 5 hours before showering after your tanning session, up to a maximum of 12 hours.
• Showering after 5 hours will produce a light-to-medium golden tan. A natural look recommended for very fair-to-fair skin types.
• Showering after 7 hours will produce a rich, medium bronzed tan. A great full-color look for light-to-medium skin types.
• Showering after 9+ hours will reveal a dark, golden-bronzed tan. A very rich tan ideal for medium to-dark skin types.
What to Avoid
• Waxing
• Depilatory hair removers
• Retin-A, Renova, Tretinoin, Tri-Luma and skin bleaching products
• Products containing alcohol or witch hazel
• Microdermabrasion
• Facial scrubs and masks
• Body loofahs
• Body moisturizer that contain petroleum or mineral oil bases
• Soaking in salt water, chlorine or hot baths
• Rubbing with a towel after bathing - pat dry only
DHA: How Tanning Mist Works
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most effective sunless/self-tanning products available are lotions containing active ingredient dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer) of the epidermis. As the sugar interacts with the dead cells, a color change occurs. This change usually lasts about 5-7 days (up to 10 for some people) from the initial application.
Every day, millions of dead skin cells are sloughed off or worn away from the surface of your skin. In fact, every 35 to 45 days, you have an entirely new epidermis. This is why tans from sunless/self-tanning lotions fade gradually: as the dead cells are worn away, so does your tan. For this reason, ESS Solei Sunless Tanning Mist is typically reapplied every 7-10 days to maintain beautiful color.
It's important to remember that ESS Solei Sunless Tanning Mist does not provide SPF protection against the sun's UVA or UVB rays.
