What Is Custom Airbrush Tanning?
After a color consultation with your certified technician, a custom solution is created just for you based on your skin type and color preferences. The solution is then hand applied by a certified technician with equipment designed especially for airbrush tanning.

Will I Look Orange or Streaky?
Never! Orange or streaky sunless tans are often the result of a spray tan booth. A custom tan offers a variety of shades and undertones to achieve the most flattering, natural looking result. The hand applied technique of an expertly trained professional offers flawless, streak-free results. NO ORANGE, NO STREAKING-NOT EVER!! Every possible precaution is taken to guarantee this promise.

How Long Does It Last?
For most people, an average of 7-10 days. This estimate is based on the condition of your skin and how well you follow the before & after care instructions.

How Will It Fade?
A sunless tan will fade similar to a UV tan. How evenly your tan fades depends once again on how well you follow the before & aftercare instructions as well as individual skin condition. Once your tan has begun to truly fade, it is easy to remove with simple exfoliation.

Is It Safe?
100%! De La Luna uses only organic solutions. The actual tanning agent, DHA is a sugar cane derivative that has been FDA approved for over 30years. Airbrush Tanning is highly recommended by dermatologists as the safe way to get a healthy glow.

Will It Stain My Clothes?
The solution contains a cosmetic bronzer which is only topical and will wash off after your first shower. This product is water soluble and will wash out of most fabric if any rub-off occurs. White or light colored clothes should be avoided for 24-48hours after your tan.

What About My Wedding Dress?
Bridal tans are applied 48-72 hours before your wedding to make sure all the cosmetic bronzer has left your pores. Most wedding gowns are tight fitting and sweating throughout the day is to be expected. A light application of baby powder should be applied to your skin before dressing as an extra precaution.

Should I Try It Before My Wedding?
YES! All Brides should have a trial tan 2 weeks to 1 month prior to the wedding. Doing a trial tan will allow you to see how you look in photos with your new glow and make any color adjustments to your final tan.

What About The Groom & My Wedding Party?
It is a wonderful idea to have everyone in your wedding party get an airbrush tan so that your photos will look more consistent and most flattering. Many Grooms and Groomsmen prefer to only do a half body or face tan.

Before and After Care Tips for the
Best Tan of your Life!....

Pre treatment Tips:

Exfoliating & moisturizing is essential to achieving the best color and overall appearance from a Spray Tan. It will also allow your tan to last longer and look like a more natural "sun" tan. You can begin preparing your skin weeks before or as little as the day before your application. Each one of us knows our skin best, so if you tend to have dry , mature or sun damaged skin, begin prepping sooner than two days. Your session includes a PH balancing Prep Spray, but advanced preparation assures a more flawless result.

For dry, mature or sun damaged skin I recommend the following:
1. Three days before the application take a long soak in a bathtub (10-20 minutes). While you are in the tub, use mesh exfoliation mitts* with a hydrating bath/shower gel and begin exfoliating your skin. I recommend Vani-T Liquid Loofah. Oil free, Vani-T uses fruit acids to break down the barrier of dead skin, leaving a clean canvas for tanning.
2. Begin exfoliating the entire body focusing on these areas: Tops of feet and ankles, knees, elbows, chest, front and back of neck, belly button, (women: between breasts and under breasts) and underarms.
3. Rinse off thoroughly.
4. Before drying off, apply a thick and hydrating moisturizer like Vani-T Body Frosting or Body Kisses to your entire body.
* Continue with the next two steps to complete the preparation of your skin before tanning.
*Stay away from lotions with lots of fragrance and baby oils. Fragrance dries the skin; oil leaves a residue which can keep the spray tan from adhering properly. Continue with and follow the instructions below to finalize your prep before your tanning session. Remember, you need at least three full days to prep the skin because you have dry, mature or sun damaged skin.
For Normal to Oily Skin Conditions:
1. Two days before the application you may repeat the bath soak treatment or shower and exfoliate using the mittens. Focus on drier areas (feet,knees,elbows,belly)
2. Take your time!!
3. After you exfoliate, moisturize your entire body before drying. This creates a moisture barrier within the skin.
4. The day before the application shower and exfoliate using the mittens again. Don't forget to moisturize before you dry off.
5. The day of the application-Your skin should look glossy and feel great! In the shower today you may exfoliate with the mittens and shave no less than 4 hours before your appointment. Apply a light coat of lotion only if needed, but no less than an hour before tanning. Putting lotion or oil on the skin could keep the Spray Tan from adhering and absorbing into the skin properly. Be sure to wear dark, loose clothing. A large button front shirt and loose sweat pants or a sundress are perfect choices. Snug fitting elastics can streak a developing tan (women try to go without a bra for the evening to avoid creating strap lines). Wear flip flops and wait 6 hours before sweating or showering. ....

6. SHOWERING-After waiting at least six hours, you may shower. I recommend warm over hot water for maintaining your tan. Use ONLY your hands and mild shower gel like Vani-T Body Shampoo to gently cleanse your body and face. NO SCRUBBING! If you notice any slight areas that appear uneven, use an exfoliating wash with your fingers moving in a gentle, circular pattern to blend. Pat yourself dry with a towel-NO RUBBING! ....

After Care Tips:

1. During your first shower, you will see the cosmetic bronzer wash off and that is normal. Don't worry this is not your tan! Avoid using any harsh bar soaps and use only a mild shower gel (like oil free Vani-T Body Shampoo). Also avoid shaving too often or with a dull razor, this can fade your tan quickly and unevenly. After gently patting yourself dry, immediately apply your Hydrating Moisturizer. A great tip is to add a second application at night before going to bed. ....
2. Starting on Day 2 of your tan use a lotion with a mild self tanner added after showering. I adore Vani-T Bronzing Crème! Even better, use your Hydrating Moisturizer before bed as well.
3. Day 3 use just your hydrating moisturizer after showering and before bed
4. Days 4-7 alternate between steps 2 & 3 using your Bronzing Crème one day and just your Hydrating Moisturizer the next.
5. Following these steps will ensure an even tan for 7-10 days depending on your skin type!
6. If your skin begins to look patchy -- dark patches between breasts, in belly button, on feet or anywhere else, that means you need to exfoliate! Your skin is shedding dead skin that is visible because it is tanned with DHA. To even this out, take a shower (Not a bath this will create more patches if not remove your tan altogether) and exfoliate these areas gently with the fingertips of your shower gloves until it evens out. Moisturize afterward using your Bronzing Crème.
7. Remember to wash your hands after applying Bronzing Crème!

It is very important to completely remove any remaining tan before your next session to insure a smooth application.
