Is Sunless Tanning at SHINE Right for You?

If you answer “Yes” to the following questions, SHINE may be just what you’re looking for in a sunless tan:

  • Do you want a radiant tan within a few hours?
  • Would you like a UV-free tan?
  • Do you like the idea of an airbrushed tan but want to make sure it is even and natural looking?
  • Do you want to use equipment that is compatible with any skin type, even fair skin?

So, are you ready to SHINE? We thought so.

Tips and Tricks for enhancing your SHINE experience:

SHINE Sunless Tanning Spas are the best way to achieve the beautiful tan you’ve always dreamed of. In preparation for your first sunless experience, we’d like to share a few of the tips and tricks we’ve learned to help you get the most out of your sunless tan.

Before Coming to SHINE:

Exfoliate Your Skin

Sunless tanning works best on skin that has recently been exfoliated, so be sure to gently exfoliate before coming in for your session.

Shave or Wax

Doing this shortly after your sunless tan has been applied may shorten its lifespan. Try to be cleanly shaven or waxed prior to getting a sunless treatment.

Wear Dark, Loose-Fitting Clothes

Although the drying mechanism in the sunless booths makes it safe to wear clothes immediately after application, it may be possible for some of the solution to rub off if clothes are too tight. If this happens, the formula is more visible on white or light-colored clothes (although it is water-soluble and will easily come off in the washer). So, our advice is to wear dark-colored, loose-fitting clothes. Shorts or sweats and a dark T-shirt are perfect.

After You Leave the Spa:

Wait Before Showering!

You must wait a minimum of four hours before showering, but we’d recommend waiting six hours, if possible.

Moisturize Your Skin

Talk to a Spa Consultant for advice on the best moisturizing lotions to extend a sunless tan. Use this lotion right after your first shower for maximum, long-lasting results.

Keep in Mind the Post-Sunless “Don’ts”

Don’t exercise or extensively sweat until after your first shower. Don’t put on make-up or any other skin products until after your first shower. And, don’t use a highly chlorinated swimming pool or hot tub at any point during your tan.

With these tips and tricks in mind, your sunless session is certain to be a golden success. Come to your favorite SHINE Sunless Tanning Spa today to start your journey toward sunless bliss.
