Spray Tanning
If you’re looking for a healthy way to stay tanned all year round then Spray Tanning is for you. Don’t take the risk of solariums and tanning booths when there’s a much easier and safer way. Simply feel great with glowing darker skin when you receive your perfect tan at Lasertech Clinic.
Sustaining a healthy tanned look has become part of our regular skin and body routine over recent years. To achieve the best tan possible there are two key factors – the quality of product and the application of the tan itself.

How to Prepare for your Spray Tan
There are two key things to do before your spray tan is applied:
- Exfoliate your body. This can be achieved by rubbing a damp soapy washer firmly over your skin, paying attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, ankles and tops of feet.
- Clean and dry your skin. No deodorants/moisturisers/perfumes etc should be worn(as this forms a barrier and affects coverage). Shaving or waxing is best done up to 2 hours prior.
Aftercare
For 4-6 hours after application your tan will deepen in colour(longer for a darker result). After this time you may shower. Try not to rub soap all over the body as this can cause the tan to lift – a body wash is preferable. Do not be alarmed when your tan appears to be washing off. This is only your bronzer agent (what is used as a guide when spraying). Your beautiful natural tan has now developed underneath. Once out of shower, pat yourself dry. Do not rub as this will cause the tan to come off uneven. To prolong the life of your tan we suggest you moisturise twice a day.
Here’s a small tip: When spraying yourself before going to bed, rub a small amount of moisturiser over the palms of your hands and apply a small amount of talc powder there too. This will form a barrier when sleeping in case your hands come into contact with your body during night.
FAQs
Q. What makes you go brown?
A. The sunless tanner dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is what makes you go brown. Currently it’s the most popular way of gaining a tan-like appearance without sun exposure as it carries less health risks than any of the other available methods. To date, it is the only active ingredient approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for sunless tanning.
Q. How does DHA work?
All effective sunless tanners contain DHA. It is a colourless 3 carbon sugar that when applied causes a chemical reaction with amino acids in the surface cells of the skin producing a darkening effect. DHA does not damage skin itself, it only affects the outermost cells of the epidermis (stratum corneum).
Q. How is Natural Tan different to other self tanners?
A. Natural Tan has developed the most advanced formula on the market. Not only do they use the highest levels of DHA available, (to give you a deeper more natural tan) the added benefit of collagen not only moisturisers and hydrates the skin, it assists in restoring the skin´s elasticity – a known agent in slowing the signs of ageing. It gives you a longer lasting tan and reduces the dryness and patchiness often experienced with most self tanners.
Q. How long does a tan last?
A. It usually lasts at least 7 days (sometimes longer) if correct aftercare is followed.
