Spray Tanning is where the body is sprayed with a solution containing DHA or Dihydroxyacetone – a colourless sugar which reacts with the epidermis and goes brown. Spray tanning is a temporary cosmetic procedure using natural products and modern technology.

Using specially devised natural tanning solutions, a deep authentic looking tan can be quickly and simply applied leaving the skin smooth and silky. It is suitable for many different skins types – it can last between 4 and 14 days depending on the skin type, skin care regime and tanning products used.
