Naked Tan answers to the 10 frequently asked questions about sunless tanning:

1. I have sensitive skin, can I still be sprayed?

If your client has eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis it’s best to patch test the skin. If the skin has no reaction the spray tan may go ahead within the 24 hours.

2. How long will my spray tan last?

The colour lasts up to 10 days and naturally removes the dead skin cells.
Suggest to your client that they keep their skin well moisturised with the Organic crème de la crème. For a longer lasting tan, apply the Goddess Bronze  (self tanner) and daily the gradual tan Naked Tan Goddess Glaze.

3. I have splashed water on my tan within the 2HR timeframe/I have rubbed some of my tan off within the 2HR timeframe.  What should I do?
If a client calls and says they have rubbed off an area of their tan or splashed water on their tan (small area only), ask them to blend the tan with a small amount of Crème de la Crème.  Once the tan has developed and they have washed the bronzer off, their tan should be fine.  This will only work on small areas.  A larger area will need to be re-sprayed.

4. Can pregnant or breastfeeding women be sprayed?
Testing has shown that DHA does not penetrate the skin, nor enter the blood stream.  Therefore, it appears safe to spray pregnant women.
However, as a precaution we suggest clients who are pregnant seek Medical Approval from their doctor. For women who are breastfeeding, inform that they should ensure their nipples are wiped over before breastfeeding or better still, place small makeup pads over the nipple area during spray tan. 

5. During my shower, I have noticed some colour washing away?
This is fine and completely normal. The excess colour that is washing away is the bronzer not your spray tan.

6. How often should I moisturise after being spray tanned?
The more the better! We advise moisturising once a day in summer, twice a day in winter months.  This will help their tan to fade evenly while keeping their skin well nourished.

7. Can I shave my legs/body parts before or after the tan application?
We advise clients that they should wax at least 12 hours prior to their spray tan doing this allows the pores on their skin to close up so there is less chance of black spots in the pores.

8. Will spray tan solution stain my clothes?  What should I wear after my tanning session?
We suggest cotton fabrics as the bronzer will wash out easily from cotton. Anything synthetic such as silk or rayon will need to be taken to the dry cleaners for the spray tan to be removed.  Also, the clothing should be loose.  Females should go braless if possible immediately after their spray to avoid a bra rubbing against the skin and removing the tan.

9. Can I wear make-up when tanning?
Yes! Wearing make-up is fine; however clients should not wash their face for the first 2 hours after their tan as water stops the development process. We suggest clients apply the makeup before the tanning session and have a light spray over the face.  It should be noted that make-up will act as a barrier so if clients wear make-up it is likely that the tan on their face will be slightly lighter than on the rest of their body.
