Frequently Asked Spray Tan Questions

WILL I TURN ORANGE?

Never. How’s that for an answer? The biggest misconception with airbrush tanning is the nightmare of looking orange. We understand your concern & have perfected our technique to ensure that you glow naturally. Our clients are never orange or streaky – just naturally bronzed, glowing & awesome!


HOW LONG WILL MY TAN LAST?

Your all-natural sunless tan will last anywhere from 7-10 days, depending on the frequency of your workouts & exposure to moisture & hydration. Using an all-natural, high-quality moisturizer twice daily will help your tan last and will avoid dry skin (dry skin may lead to un-even fading of your tan). At Bronze Buddha Glow, we offer an all organic body lotion, available for purchase in-studio and online. We also recommend  Alba Emollient Lotion, which is available for purchase at Target and Sprouts.


HOW WILL MY TAN LOOK AS IT FADES?

The color will gradually & evenly fade to reveal your original skin tone as long as you stay moisturized & hydrated. Your tan should last 7-10 days, but If you’d like to enjoy consistent color, we recommend booking an appointment once every two weeks.


WHAT THE HECK IS DHA?

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a common sugar derived from vegetable sources, often from sugar beets or sugar cane. It reacts with the keratin protein on the surface layer of your skin to produce the color change. DHA is super safe & does not affect the melanin or natural pigment of someone’s skin. This is why the results are temporary and a safe alternative to tanning under UV rays and sun exposure.


SO HOW DOES DHA TAN ME?

Have you ever cut an apple and left it out over time? Notice what happens to it? That’s how the developing process of an airbrush tan works. The solution that tans you is actually clear & goes through an oxidation process, just like fruit. This is why it takes 8-10 hours for your glow to fully develop into its final color. You’ll look tanned right after a single application, though, because of the natural bronzer (like make-up) that we’ve added to deliver that instant glow as you walk out our doors.


DO I HAVE TO BE NAKED TO GET AIRBRUSHED?

No, not at all. Your comfort is our #1 priority. We do offer disposable thongs in-studio for your convenience.  Please be aware, if you do leave clothing items on during your airbrush, you will have those tan lines.


CAN I GO BACK TO WORK RIGHT AFTER MY APPOINTMENT?

Absolutely & without an unpleasant after-scent! We do recommend wearing loose-fit clothing to change into after your airbrush appointment. We have a stylish, “afterglow” dress available for purchase in-studio that is perfect to wear after your tan.

We also offer an assortment of scents that can be added to your tan so that you leave your appointment smelling fresh!


CAN YOU MAKE ME LOOK SKINNIER & TONED?

Our custom airbrush technique incorporates following the body’s curves, to highlight your natural assets!


I HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT COMING UP, WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY TAN?

A golden glow can be the perfect accessory to any outfit! We recommend coming into Bronze Buddha Glow’s Studio 2 to 3 days before your big day. Please reach out via text if you have any questions prior to booking!


I'M PREGNANT, CAN I STILL GET A
SPRAY-TAN?

At Bronze Buddha Glow, our organic spray tanning solutions are pregnancy safe. As an added precaution, we also offer nostril filters to prevent inhaling even the smallest of particles.

For any questions or concerns, please check with your medical provider prior to booking your appointment.
