Sunless Tanning / Airbrush Spray Tanning

For sunless tanning, we proudly offer the AutoBronzer 4000, which is the most refined and technologically advanced UV-free sunless spray tan system made to date with many advantages over traditional airbrush tanning systems and is more customizable than a sunless tanning booth. The AutoBronzer Spray Tanning System is the fastest way to a flawless, natural-looking sunless tan. Superior to traditional hand or airbrush tanning, this advanced delivery system offers customized body-detailing in under four minutes that dries nearly instantly all without any UV rays. Sunless tanning is also a great compliment to your organic normal sun tanning sessions for an even richer and longer-lasting tan.

All of our sunless spray tanning solutions are made from all organic material and are FDA approved meaning you don't have to worry about any side effects or allergic reactions. We offer a variety of sunless tanning shades and tones ranging from golden to dark, rich brown. You also get to choose how much of that color you want meaning if you want your sunless tan to be lighter in some areas and darker in others (such as to help cover a tan line) then we can easily accommodate you. Our trained staff will help you choose a color to match your skin tone and make you look as natural and perfect as possible removing the guesswork.

Satisfaction Guarantee We 100% guarantee your satisfaction. If you're not happy with your spray for ANY reason, come back in the very next day after your spray and we will spray you again for COMPLETELY FREE. Maybe you want to be darker; maybe you had to shower before it fully developed, or maybe you just want to see your favorite employee again. Doesn't matter. Just come on back and we'll take care of it.

Sunless Tanning Prep

Before Your Spray Tan

Shower as close to your spray-time as possible. This helps the skin to be nice and clean making it easier for the spray to absorb into your skin
Exfoliate your skin within 12 hours prior to your sunless tanning application to smooth skin for even tanning results. Spend a little extra time on the knees, elbows, feet, and hands. Exfoliate at least twice a week to maintain smooth, healthy-looking skin. If you are looking for the ideal primer to help exfoliate, visit Sun Splash Tans and pick up Suddenly Sun Primer.
Shave at least 6 hours before your sunless tanning session. No special or extra shaving is required. In other words, shave only where you do normally. It is best to wait four days after waxing prior to sunless tanning.
Do NOT moisturize skin at least 2 hours prior to your sunless tanning session. Lotions can create barriers, preventing the absorption of sunless tanning solutions and products.
Remove makeup prior to sunless tanning for best results.
Wear dark, loose-fitting clothes. Sunless solution washes out of most clothes, but the immediate cosmetic bronzer could wipe off on lighter clothes, giving a temporary discoloration.
With the use of most sunless spray equipment, you will need to apply barrier cream just prior to your sunless tan to the palms of hands, on nails and cuticles of both hands and feet and on any other areas where you do not wish to have a sunless tan develop. Sun Splash Tans provides this cream and will guide you on proper application.
Do not wear wool, nylon, or silk during or after your sunless application for at least 8 hours as the sunless ingredients could cause staining so bringing cotton with you to change into afterwards is best.

During and After your Spray Tan

When sprayed, you may wear as little or as much as is comfortable. We understand that many do not want tan lines and so clothing is typically not required. However, for those under 18 years old or for male clients who are sprayed by a female technician, clothing must be worn.
After your sunless tanning application, wait at least 6 hours before you shower or wear anything tight (including slippers, sandals, or flip-flops that may scrape). This will allow time for the self-tanning reaction to occur on the skin.
Do not moisturize until after your first shower. This could effect the immediate reaction of the sunless solution on the skin and cause streaking.
Do not swim for 6 hours after your sunless tanning session. Immediate contact with water, chlorine and salt water could effect the immediate reaction of the sunless solution. Also, keep in mind that chlorine and salt water may dry your skin and cause your sunless tan to fade faster.
Wait at least 6 hours before you exercise. Excessive perspiration could effect the immediate reaction of the sunless solution on the skin.
Do NOT exfoliate for at least 48 hours after your sunless tanning application. When you do exfoliate, remember to do so gently and evenly to preserve an even sunless tan.

Other Considerations

Don't worry if you see color washing off from your first shower -- this is normal. What you see washing off is the cosmetic bronzer. What is left is a beautiful sunless tan.
Moisturize your skin with SUDDENLY SUN EXTENDER every time you bathe to maintain color. It has a light DHA bronzer to help extend and even out color while moisturizing the skin to keep it smooth, soft, and glowing. Apply to the face and body using a circular motion and wash or wipe hands after application.
The skin does not always fade evenly everywhere, which sometimes leads to some spots having more color than others after about a week. You can even out results with SUDDENLY SUN SELF TANNER LOTION or SPRAY. If your tan starts to fade unevenly, or you just need a tanning "pick me up," you can apply the home version of our sunless tanning lotion or spray (available for purchase at Sun Splash) to the face and body. Wash hands with soap immediately after application. A great looking tan will develop in 2 to 4 hours. Reapply as needed for deeper color.
Remember to wear sunscreen. Suddenly Sun Bronzing Spray and Self Tanners do not contain a sunscreen. Although you look like you have a tan, you actually can still sunburn.
