Airtan Two Stage Process:

  • The bronzer that you see immediately is the temporary bronzing color. It gives the instant gratification tan.
  • The bronzing color coverage shows how even the tan will be.
  • The tan will develop within a few hours into a tan that is unique to each person.
  • Washing: When you shower after 5 hours the temporary color will come off but the tan will remain.
  • The tanner continues to develop slightly over the next 24 hours and lasts 7 or more days depending on hydration, exfoliation and natural sweating, which varies from person to person.

Getting ready to airbrush-Airtan:

  • Cleansing: Make sure areas are clean, free of oil and moisturizer and the skin is dry. Exfoliating is optional.
  • Shaving: Shave the night before.
  • Deodorant: Do not use deodorant or perfume prior to air tanning
  • Waxing: Do not tan within 4 days after waxing. Wax residue will block tanner absorption.
  • Careful time: Wait 5 Hours after applying airtan to swim, shower, wash or take part in vigorous exercise. 5 hours is best for the tanning process to complete.
  • Remember each coverage of Airtan will make the color darker.

Tips for Improved Tanning Results

  • Recommended ph balanced cleansing lotions instead of soap.
  • Try to avoid shampooing, especially with conditioners.
  • Soap, which is (typically) alkaline, can neutralize the skin’s natural acidity.
  • Shampoo, is often alkaline. Where it incidentally touches the face or body can reduce skin ph and effect tanning.
  • Acidity of the skin is natural, and serves as a protective function for the skin.
  • Soap can neutralize the skin’s ph, which can take 3 to 4 hours to be restored.
  • Moisturizers block absorption, but high ph actually effects the reaction.
  • High ph can result in light tans, poor longevity or even oranging.
  • The best results come from normal acid ph skin or 4.5 to 5.5 ph

Airbrush Tanning
Airbrush Tanning is a streak free, natural looking golden tan. It looks and fades like a real tan without exposing yourself to hours of damaging UV rays. The final effect will last up to 7 days as the skin naturally exfoliates. Airbrush tanning is done by hand which allows for a more precise application. Rid yourself of unwanted tan lines, spot tan (legs, face etc..), or enjoy a full body natural looking tan.
