Did you know moist skin tans and dry skin reflects light?

Did you know tanning everyday will retards your tan?

Did you know your skin type helps determine how you tan or burn?

Sometimes you want a natural looking tan to go with that perfect outfit. The good news is it takes less than 10 minutes for a spray tan. You can walk into the salon ghostly white and leave in 10 minutes with a tan.

Preparation before the spray session will guarantee a quality spray tan.

1. Hair removal:  Any unwanted hair removal should be completed 24 hours before your spray tan.
2. Exfoliate: The day before your spray tan use a pH balancing shower scrub to remove all dry or dead skin. If any area is extremely dry use a pH balancing sea salt scrub.
3. Shower before your appointment removing any lotions, moisturizers, perfumes and deodorants. Makeup should be removed immediately before your spray session.
4. Bring or wear dark, loose fitting clothing to wear after the spray tan. No wool, silk, rayon or light colored clothing should be worn until after your first shower.

Specific after spray tan instructions will be provided following your spray and are determined by your custom spray tanning situation.

Did you know lotions and cleansers with high pH can neutralize the bronzing action on your skin?

Did you know Island Tan Sunless formula is a highly concentrate antioxidant blend that reduces daily skin damage, is a skin firming and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?

A sunless spray tan is the fast and easy way to get a natural looking tan in minutes. Island Tan offers the airbrush delivery system for flawless tanning results. Customers come in snow white and leave with the glow of a natural tan. Below are a few reasons to consider choosing a spray tan:
