Spray Tans Q&A

What are spray tans?

Spray tans are a popular method for achieving a sun-kissed, bronzed appearance without the need for prolonged sun exposure or tanning beds. They offer a safe and convenient way to get a tan, especially for those who want a quick and even tan for special occasions or just to maintain a healthy glow year-round.

How do spray tans work?

When you undergo a spray tan session at Civita Skincare, your provider applies a specially formulated tanning solution to your skin using a fine mist or spray. This solution typically contains an active ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with the top layer of your skin to produce a temporary tan effect. It reacts with the amino acids on your skin's surface, causing a chemical reaction that darkens your skin over a few hours.

How can I help my spray tan last?

To make your spray tan last as long as it can, it's essential to do the following:

Exfoliate

Exfoliating your skin before your appointment removes dead skin cells, so when your tan starts to fade, it does so evenly.

Moisturize

After your spray tan, moisturizing your skin regularly keeps it hydrated, as dry skin can lead to faster fading.

Avoid high-cardio activities

If you participate in an activity or sport that causes excessive sweating in the first few hours after your spray tan, it can reduce the longevity of its appearance.

You can also extend the life of your spray tan by using tan-extending products, which are specially designed to maintain and enhance the color. These products often contain a small amount of DHA to help prolong the look of your tan.

How long do spray tans last?

The longevity of a spray tan can vary depending on several factors, including:

Your skin type
The quality of the tanning solution used
How well you prepare and maintain your skin before and after treatment

On average, a spray tan can last 5-10 days. However, it gradually fades as your skin naturally sheds its dead cells.
