Organic spray tan

Look freshly back from holiday, any month of the year. No UV, no burning, no sunbed.

How it works

It isn’t paint. It’s a reaction in the skin.

The solution is built on DHA — dihydroxyacetone, a simple sugar. On the top layer of skin cells, DHA reacts with the amino acids in keratin to form melanoidins, a brown pigment close in shade to the melanin your skin makes in the sun. That’s why the tan doesn’t wash off like foundation: it only leaves as those surface cells naturally shed.

DHA is paired with erythrulose, a related sugar that develops more slowly and more gently. Together they give an even colour and cut the risk of patches or an orange tint. Aloe vera keeps the skin hydrated, green and white tea extracts add a glow, and the scent is lightly caramel with a note of lemongrass.

Who it’s for

Anyone who wants a natural-looking tan without UV exposure — before a wedding, before a holiday, or simply in winter. No burning, no sun spots, no premature ageing. If you’re fair, you can repeat the session the very next day, without the scrub, for a deeper shade.

When we don’t do it

Not on psoriasis, eczema or open wounds, and not if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients — on request we patch-test a small area first. The solution is considered safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, but we’ll ask for your doctor’s go-ahead too.

How the session goes

Your therapist sprays the solution over your whole body with a dedicated spray gun, then dries it with the same gun. The spraying takes 10–15 minutes. For your face, you close your eyes and hold your breath for a few seconds. You leave completely dry and can dress straight away, with no greasy or sticky feel.

Step 01Exfoliate

The day before, a vigorous scrub at home, all over. Focus on knees, elbows and soles.

Step 02Spray

The solution bonds instantly and is dry before you leave.

Step 03Full tan

The final colour shows after 8 hours and lasts 7–10 days.

Prep and aftercare

A tan lasts as long as you look after it.

Before your session

Exfoliate at home the day before, all over. Cornmeal, coffee grounds or sugar leave no cream residue the way ordinary scrubs do. For your face, a scrub with round particles.
Wax or shave the day before as well, so your pores have time to close.
Shower at home or here, but skip shower gel and rich body lotions on the day — they weaken the result.
Come with skin that’s perfectly clean and dry, with no deodorant or perfume.
Take your make-up off thoroughly. Mascara can stay.
Wear loose, dark clothes.

After your session

Keep your skin dry for at least 8 hours — hands included, and mind the rain. Ideally, shower the next morning.
For the first 8 hours: no deodorant, perfume, exercise, sauna or swimming, and no tight underwear until your first shower.
Some colour rinses off in the first shower. That’s normal: it’s the water-soluble instant bronzer. The real tan stays.
Pat yourself dry with a soft towel. No shower sponge.
Moisturise after every shower, but avoid oils, oil-based shower gels and creams with AHAs — they strip the tan or leave patches.
Avoid long baths, thermal water, pool chlorine, scrubs and body wraps. Electrostimulation and LPG don’t affect the tan.

Common questions

Will it look orange?

No. Formulas have come a long way, and the DHA–erythrulose blend we use is designed precisely to avoid an orange tint. Patchiness almost always comes from a skipped scrub.

Does it protect me from the sun?

No. The solution contains no SPF, and DHA-tanned skin burns just as easily as before. Keep using sun protection — a cream, not tanning oil.

What if I breathe it in or get it in my eyes?

There’s nothing harmful in it, but we recommend closing your eyes and holding your breath while we spray your face. Even with eyes open, irritation is rare.

Will it stain my hair or clothes?

Hair doesn’t absorb the solution and won’t be lightened, so a cap is optional. It can transfer to clothes, especially straight after the session, but it usually washes out.

How do I stay tanned all year?

The top layer of skin renews every 7–10 days, roughly as long as the tan lasts. One session a week, with a good scrub beforehand, keeps it going — and still takes less time than a sunbed.

Are there any risks?

Very few. There’s no UV, so none of the risks of a sunbed. The solution contains no alcohol or parabens and hydrates the skin. The only contraindications are the ones above.
