OUR YUMMY SOLUTION
LEAVING YOU HONEY POT HOT
The active ingredient in our solution dihydroxyacetone, commonly referred to as DHA- which is the only FDA approved sunless tanning ingredient. DHA is a colorless sugar derived from beets. DHA interacts with proteins and amino acids in the outer layers of your skin to produce a golden brown color- this is called the "Maillard Reaction." We use only the finest ingredients and our solution contains the maximum concentration of DHA recommended by top cosmetic formulators. Our solution is a globally approved formulation which means that it contains no ingredient deemed harmful by any country, including the US.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
ALOE VERA is an amazing plant with a wide ability to aid in the healing of skin, to protect, moisturize, and even extend life. It was used in ancient times for medicinal purposes, and its relevancy has not diminished today. Aloe Vera is a cellular regenerator and has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects.
GLYCERIN has over 1500 known uses including many applications as an ingredient or processing aid in cosmetics. Glycerin is an humectant, meaning it attracts moisture to your skin.
WHITE TEA EXTRACT has been proven to have effectiveness in boosting the immune function of skin cells and protecting them against the damaging effects of the sun. The discovery that white tea extract protects the skin from oxidative stress and immune cell damage adds another important element in the battle against skin cancer. They also found that the DNA damage that can occur in cells after exposure to sunlight was limited in skin cells protected by the white tea extract. Researchers believe that white tea extract's anti-oxidant properties are the reason the extract was so effective, if so, it also suggest that the agent may provide anti-aging benefits. The same process of oxidative stress in skin cells that leads to immune system damage can also promote skin cancer and photo damage, such as wrinkling or mottled pigmentation.
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT is an extremely effective anti-oxidant, which is up to 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 30 times more powerful that Vitamin C when it comes to fighting health threatening "free radicals." Grape Seed Extract also supports tissues containing collagen and elastin, and revitalizes aging skin. Some researchers also believe that grape seed extract helps Vitamin C enter cells, thus strengthening the cell membranes and protecting the cells from oxidative damage.
CITRIC ACID is a common ingredient in cosmetics. Vitamin C in general is thought an antioxidant that can help refresh skin and reduce the look of aging by promoting new skin growth and destroying free radicials. One of the best benefits of citric acid in all applications is that it is natural and poses little to no risk to the environment. Very few people are allergic to citric acid damage.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Shower, shave and exfoliate using oil-free products.
-
Do not apply body or face moisturizer right before your session.
-
Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing.
-
Try to make us last on your list! Schedule hair/spa treatments and workouts prior to appointment.
POST-CARE
Do your best to remain dry for the first 6-8 hours following your session.
-
When showering, lightly wash, pat skin dry and moisturize afterwards. Our favorite is coconut oil!
WHAT TO EXPECT
Although you may feel slightly sticky during the hour following your tan, feel free to go about your normal daily routine. Remember to stay dry and avoid touching your skin to ensure that your tan dries flawlessly. Your tan will begin to darken over the next 2-3 hours. You may shower lightly after 8 hours, allowing some of the “cosmetic” tan to wash off, and letting your beautiful dark, golden glow appear. Limit exposure to pools and hot tubs, as this may fade your tan and note that the solution is water soluble and will wash out of clothes and sheets.
