Sunless spray tanning is the spray (fine-mist) application of sunless tanning solution to your body. When applied, DHA (the active ingredient in Sunless tanning solution) reacts with the proteins in the skin’s superficial layer to form a golden brown color. Your skin starts to darken two to three hours after application and reaches its peak color within 24 hours. The color will gradually fade through natural exfoliation, just like a tan from the sun.

No Way!

Our VersaSpa uses an even and very light spray mist to cover the skin in the perfect amount of bronzer, creating a natural looking tan. The advanced technology used in our VersaSpa organic tanning solutions is designed to ensure a natural, bronze tan. The solution is made of Eco-Certified ingredients and skin softeners which makes your skin look and feel younger. We can help you select the proper level of tanning solution to best match your skin tone.

We have never had any issues with the tan causing staining to clothing or bed linen. If excessive sweating did cause some bronzer to rub off on fabric it will wash out. For best results we recommend wearing loose clothing.

Our fully automated VersaSpa will mist your body with a very light mist of bronzer. The machine will then blow dry your skin with warm air. By the time the booth completes the tanning cycle, you will emerge dry and ready to get dressed.

Versa Spa spray tanning solution uses odor control technology designed to virtually eliminate the odor that may be present when the solution interacts with the skin

If possible, exfoliate and shave the day before or the day of your session.

(The day before is preferred).

On the day of spray tanning, try not to use moisturizers, perfumes, lotions, oils or deodorants that may create a barrier between the skin and the Sunless tanning solution. We do have wipes…..just in case!

To give the DHA enough time to fully set, we recommend that you wait 8 hours for optimal results. Showering sooner may diminish the intensity of the tan.

Do your work-out before you tan! Make sure your skin is clean, fresh and sweat-free before you have the treatment. Best to avoid exercise for at least the next 12 hours, 24 for even better results and a longer lasting tan! (Great excuse to put your golden coloured feet up!)

A Sunless Spray Tan will last at least 7 days depending on the formula you choose and the condition of your skin. We’re finding that for some clients their tan is lasting up to 10 days. It is important to moisturize daily. Talk to us about products and best practice on how to extend your tan!

Versa Spa products are designed to be used on the face. Both self-tan and in-salon spray tan products are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores. If you do have a history of sensitive skin, we recommend checking with your doctor before you use any products on your skin.

Avoid long showers, exfoliating and soap. Use a moisturising soap-free body wash. Don’t dry your body roughly, just gently dab to dry. Apply the recommended body butter to make your tan last even longer.

Add the 'prep' to your tan booking if you want a longer lasting, more hydrating tan.

Apply the barrier cream provided on the nails, front and back of the hands to avoid this happening.

The fine mist (distributed precisely in our automated booth) will create an even glow and the technology stops any drips or excess tan sitting around the ankles.

We suggest applying barrier cream to any dark patches or bumps you don’t want to accentuate with the tan.

Yes absolutely. The solution is organic with no nasty chemicals. The tan only sits on your epidermis (outer skin layer), that’s why it’s safe.

Yes. Please apply sunblock when out in the sun, as the tan has no SPF.

Ask for an 'extra leg spray' if you would like your legs to be more tanned.

Yes. This can be achieved by stepping back slightly from the spray unit as it passes your face, then stepping closer again once it has passed and moved down to your chest.

No. Your body art is safe when using The Tan Lab VersaSpa products.
