Spray tanning at Skinchanted Spa leaves your skin highly moisturized, appearing naturally bronzed with a “straight off the beach” glow! Our Rapid Caribbean SunFX formulas are a unique combination of organic, natural and hypoallergenic ingredients, and develop in just 2 two hours. The star ingredient in our formula is a natural sugar-derived DHA, which results in a truly remarkable streak-free tan. Our products contain no alcohol, oils, perfumes, parabens or artificial preservatives; only the best and purest ingredients for our favorites at Skinchanted Spa! Blended with organic green tea, aloe and coconut, your skin will be freshly hydrated and vibrant post-spray.

Before getting started, your Skinchanted esthetician will chat with you about your desired shade in order to select the best formula. Their knowledge and expertise in blending the formulas will ensure a result that will leave you confident and happy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I best prepare for my tan?
  • For the best results, we suggest you cleanse and exfoliate your body. Our Sweet & Salty Scrub service a few days prior to your tanning session or the Hylunia Grapeseed Scrub are favorite exfoliation preps, but using a loofah and shaving are also effective at removing dead skin cells.
  • Please refrain from using moisturizers and deodorants the day of your tanning session, where possible.
  • We recommend you wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and remove all jewelry.
  • If you have long hair, please put it up in a ponytail.
Q. What should I wear for my spray tan?
  • We request you dress to your comfort level. We are professionals first and foremost and always want you to feel and look beautiful. For some, that means going completely nude. For others, that may mean a thong, small brief, or an old bathing suit; the choice is yours. A modesty towel is provided for parts of the spray tan session.
Q. What should I expect for my aftercare?
  • Once the spray tan solution is applied, please allow the formula to develop over the next two hours. Wearing dark, loose-fitting clothing will aid this process. After those first two hours, take a shower. You will notice a lot of the ‘color guide’ running off in the shower; this is completely normal and expected. Your tan will develop deeper and darker over the next 24 hours. Everyone’s tanning color is unique, depending on their body chemistry and how well they had exfoliated pre-tan. Important: Please do not leave the formula on for more than three hours. Exceeding three hours will not yield the flawless, streak-free tan we strive for.
Q. Will my tan stain my clothing?
  • In most cases, our spray tan formula will not stain clothing. However, we don’t like to take chances so we recommend dark, loose-fitting clothing. Any slight rub-off should be easily removed in the wash. Once you’ve showered and the formula is off your skin, your sheets and clothing will be completely safe and stain-free. Light colored leather, some acrylics, and sensitive fabrics may be susceptible to staining, so please use your best judgment and preparation for these materials to avoid accidents. We suggest you schedule your session for 24-48 hours before attending any desired event for best results.
Q. What should I avoid doing for the two hours after my Skinchanted spray tan?
  • Please avoid physical exercise, excessive rubbing, sweating, water exposure, saunas, spa treatments including facials, exfoliation (get your manis and pedis PRIOR to spray tanning), swimming, and tight-fitting clothing.
Q. How long will my tan last?
  • Most people can expect their Skinchanted tan to last anywhere from 7-10 days. Though our formula can hold up through being submerged in water (did someone say vacation!?) the efficacy of your tan always depends on your skin type and preparation pre-spray. Want to make your tan last longer? Ask us about our moisturizing SunFX tan Extender (only $15!)

Q. Can pregnant women be spray tanned?

  • Although our formula is pregnancy-safe, we suggest using the gradual tan extender during pregnancy.
Q. Should I wear SPF after being spray tanned?
  • Absolutely! Our formula will not protect you from UV rays, so please apply an approved SPF 30 at least 15 minutes prior to sun exposure.
Q. Is your formula gluten-free?
  • Yes! For our sensitive clients, please rest assured that our formula is not only gluten-free, but also vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free and all-natural. It is not, however, coconut-free.
Q. How long will my spray tan session take?
  • Depending on if you’re doing a partial body (have a wedding in the winter and don’t care about your legs/feet being tanned?) or full body spray tan, your service can take anywhere from 20-40 minutes. Your two-hour window prior to showering starts once you’re dry and dressed.
Q. How often can I get spray tanned?
  • You can be spray tanned weekly at Skinchanted! We suggest exfoliating right before to ensure that when you build your glowing tan, you’ve removed dead skin that may affect the evenness of your tan.
