Have you ever wished you could get that sun-kissed, golden glow—without spending hours in the sun or risking a painful sunburn? That’s where spray tanning comes in. If you’ve never heard of spray tanning before, don’t worry—you’re not alone! Let me break it down for you in the simplest way possible.

☀️ So… What Is Spray Tanning?

Spray tanning is a beauty treatment that gives your skin a natural-looking tan without any exposure to UV rays. Instead of sitting in the sun or using a tanning bed, you get misted with a fine spray that contains a tanning solution. This solution reacts with the outer layer of your skin to create a temporary tan that looks just like you’ve been vacationing in the Bahamas—minus the sun damage!

💧 Is It Like Paint?

Nope! It’s not paint or makeup. The active ingredient in spray tans is called DHA (dihydroxyacetone)—a sugar that interacts with the proteins in your skin to create a bronzed look. It’s totally safe, and the tan develops over a few hours after your appointment.

⏱ How Long Does It Last?

Spray tans typically last 5 to 10 days, depending on your skin type, how well you prep before your session, and how you care for your skin afterward. The better your skincare routine, the longer your tan will stick around.

🧼 Does It Smell Weird? Will I Turn Orange?

This is the #1 fear for many people who’ve never tried spray tanning—and I get it! But the good news is: modern spray tans are nothing like the old-school orange tans you might remember from TV. I use a high-quality, professional solution that matches your skin tone, so your glow looks natural. As for the smell—while there is a light scent during the application, it fades quickly.

✨ What’s the Process Like?

1. Prep Your Skin – Before your appointment, you’ll exfoliate your body, shave or wax if needed, and avoid using lotion, deodorant, or oils. This gives the tan a clean surface to stick to.

2. Show Up (Comfy Clothes Recommended) – You’ll step into a private space and get sprayed by hand or with a machine. It only takes about 10 minutes!

3. Dry & Dress – Afterward, you’ll dry off and put on loose, dark clothing. Then let the magic happen! Your tan will develop over the next 4–8 hours.

4. Rinse & Glow – Once the tan sets, you rinse off the bronzer in the shower, revealing a beautiful, even glow underneath.
