• It is important to not shower directly before your spray tan appointment because your pores will be open and the spray tan won’t absorb properly.

• Gently exfoliate your skin prior to your appointment.

• Avoid using oils, lotions, make-up, deodorant, perfumes and moisturizers.

• Any waxing or shaving should be performed 24 hours in advance .

• Do not get wet or sweat during the tan development time (2-8 hours depending on the solution used)

• The principal tanning agent used in all self-tanning formulas is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This ingredient does not produce a “real tan” by increasing the skin’s melanin levels, rather it creates a tanned appearance by developing a brown color on the surface of the skin.

• The action of DHA is limited to the upper layer of the skin and involves a reaction between DHA and skin proteins and oxygen that produces brown compounds. This process is similar to what occurs when you slice open an apple and the surface of the apple browns when it’s exposed to the oxygen in the air.

• The development of color takes anywhere from 2 to 8 hours and the intensity of color is dependent upon the DHA concentration in the product as well as each tanner’s individual skin characteristics.

• DHA is Dihydroxyacetone, the active ingredient found in all sunless tanning products

• DHA is a colorless sugar derived from sugar beets and sugar cane. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with the amino acids in the dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, creating a natural-looking tan. It is considered safe for external use and approved by the FDA for sunless tanning products.

• It is a simple carbohydrate that is derived from sugar beets. DHA does not make your skin cells darker in pigmentation, but rather reacts with the proteins and amino acids found in the top layer of your skin to create a darkening effect or ‘sunless tan’.

• On average, 4-7 days

• At-home application: 3 to 5 days

• Professional application: 5 to 7 days

• The longevity of a sunless tan depends on the type of self-tanning application, the skin’s natural exfoliation process, and on the skincare regimen followed before and after application.

• A professional application will last longer than an at-home application as there is usually a greater percentage of DHA used.

• The faster your skin turns over, the faster the sunless tan will fade. The tan created by the DHA affects only the top layer of the skin and will begin to fade after 4 to 5 days as the skin naturally begins to exfoliate.

• Following a good skin care regimen before and after sunless tanning will help a sunless tan last longer.

• Exfoliating prior to a sunless tanning application and keeping skin moisturized afterwards are essential.

• It is important to keep skin moisturized after sunless tanning as dry, flaky skin will slough off faster and color will fade sooner.

• Your goal is to basically slow down your body’s natural exfoliation process.

• Many factors can contribute to patch or uneven wear-off. So, be sure to prep your skin properly.

• Keep skin moisturized and your body hydrated.

• Do not spray tan more than 3 times in a 2 week period, to avoid build-up of tanning solution that will contribute to uneven wear-off.

• Avoid shaving, waxing, exfoliating, tight clothing, strappy shoes, socks, spray sunscreens, long showers, and going to the beach.

It is recommended to wait 2 days before sweating and doing rigorous workouts. Sweat can cause the spray tan to wear off and become patchy. If you don’t want to miss a workout, a light and non-heated yoga practice is better suited for the first couple of days.

• We recommend avoiding these situations for the first 48 hours following your spray tan.

• Chlorinated pools & hot tubs can increase the rate in which the skin exfoliates causing the tan to wear and fade rapidly.

• If you are using a spray solution with a cosmetic bronzer (water-soluble make-up), some of the bronze color may rub off on clothing or bed sheets.

• This is most likely to happen when you get dressed immediately after tanning.

• To minimize the chance of the bronzers transferring to clothing, we recommend you wear loose-fitting, darker clothes after your spray session.

• Try to refrain from physical exertion that could result in your sweating until you shower and wash off the cosmetic bronzers.

  Therefore, in most cases, the color will come out of clothing in the wash.

• It is however important to note bronzers may stain light hair, wool, spandex, lycra, silks or other fine fabrics.

• If product comes into contact with clothing, rinse immediately.

• It is recommended that individuals not tan more than 3 times in a 2 week period, to avoid build-up of tanning solution that will contribute to uneven wear-off. This allows a complete cycle of natural exfoliation and eliminates patchiness or uneven areas of wear, such as around the waist, inside the arms where the elbow bends, underarms, and backs of knees.

• These are natural areas of the body where friction from clothing and daily activities may cause premature exfoliation.In addition, spraying too frequently may also cause the skin to exfoliate more rapidly (decreasing the longevity of your sunless tan), as over-application can alter the skin’s pH levels, causing it to shed more frequently.

• Yes! But please double check with your physician prior.

• Sjolie sunless is nontoxic, food grade product that is safe for mom and baby.

• The spray tan rests within the outermost layer of skin, so the only stipulation would be inhalation.

• We have ventilation in the rooms and you are welcome to wear a mask.

• If you are nursing, we recommend nipple covers (which we can provide).

• Ideally 2 days before your wedding or event. This will allow 24 hours for the spray tan to process, plus 24 hours for a natural fade.

• Everyone’s skin is different and the spray tan requires before and after care.

• For out of town weddings, please book a couple days before leaving so we can address any concerns or do a touch-up if necessary.

  *PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend doing a trial a few weeks prior.

• No! Spray tan solutions do not contain any SPF!

• It is common to get a false sense of security when you have been spray tanned.

• Your skin will still burn when overexposed. It is still necessary to apply SPF lotions when in the sun.

Nope!

• The spray tan will wipe off your nails (regular polish, gel, dip, or acrylic) easily.

• If your nails are bare and/or not manicured, the spray tan can react with your cuticles and nail beds and turn yellow or orange in color.

  *We will put a barrier cream on them before your tan to protect your cuticles and nails.

• Sjolie products are formulated to give a natural tan.

• The instant cosmetic bronzers will allow you to gently transition into your DHA tan over 24 hours after application.

• High pH levels in the skin can sometimes give individuals an undesirable, ‘fake’ non-natural looking sunless color.

• High pH levels sometimes result in what many people refer to as an ‘orange’ coloring.

• To prevent this from happening, do not use bar soaps before your sunless session. A properly pH balanced skin cleanser will not elevate pH levels on the skin, and result in more ‘golden brown’ sunless tanning results.

• Our spray tan solutions use advanced DHA odor encapsulation. This is the newest technology in odor inhibitors, they ‘trap’ odor causing molecules commonly associated with DHA products and virtually eliminate sunless odor.

• It isn’t ideal to spray tan with a sunburn. If your skin peels, it will peel the spray tan off.

• If you must spray tan with a sunburn, it is recommended you stay hydrated and moisturized.

• The spray tan will definitely help even tan lines out but it is not a 100% guarantee

Don't worry!

• It is most likely just the bronzer that has smudged when getting dressed. It is okay, your tan will not develop this way.

• We can most likely fix it, just give us a call or text us.

• If you use Dove body wash it should remove the streaks.

• Our spray room is usually entirely saturated with at least a light coating of spray tan solution, including the floor. We provide foot protectors and highly advise not walking barefoot around the room.

• Stepping out of shoes onto the floor or off the stick on feet can result in unwanted darkness on bottoms of feet.

To fix this problem:

• We have found that using a foot file or pumice stone works best in exfoliating off this dark tan on the bottoms of feet.

• General friction should also wear the spray tan off after a couple of days.

• Groups must come in together due to the shortened appointment times

• Must pay in one transaction, using one card

• Cannot save any unused tans
