Tanning Questions & Answers

Q: Is the spray tanning solution safe?

A: Yes, All of the components in our spray tanning solution are approved by the FDA and have been used in food and cosmetics for many years. If you have an allergy to any of those products, your skin will also react to the solution. (Ask for list of ingredients at the spray tanning salon if you have any serious allergies).

Q: How brown will I get?

A: Everybody’s skin develops its own individual color. Some people go very brown, others get just a glow. For those people, with repeated sessions, the skin tends to get used to solution, and starts to develop more color. (You only need a few sessions to achieve this).

Q: How long will the tan last?

A: Depending on how well you prepare, and take care of your spray tan afterwards, about 5-10 days. If you tan regularly, your skin will get used to the spray, and will hold the color longer. Then you might need a top up every 2 weeks or so.

Q: How soon after the spray tan can I shower?

A: Leave it on for at least 5 hours. If you spray tanned with a clear solution then you might choose to go to bed without showering, and wake up brown! If you spray tanned with a solution that contained a bronzer, better take that shower, or you will stain the sheets.

Q: My last spray tan was different than the previous one, even though it was done in the same spray tan salon.

A: Again, it comes down to your skin. Your skin is a living thing, and is affected by many things like: time of the month, season, food you eat, stress, medication you take etc. If your tan is different, even though solution used was the same, the most probable cause is the condition of your skin.

Q: What if I have a very fair skin that has never been able to tan?

A: Hey, this is exactly why the spray tanning process was designed in the first place, for people that could not tan by any other method! Most probably you will get a fantastic color with spray tan! Of course, people that tan easily will tan too.

Q: Will I spray tan evenly if I have hair on my legs/arms?

A: Hair is not a problem. At the end of the tanning cycle you will notice droplets of solution on your hair, just towel this excess solution off with a towel provided.

Q: What if I have a bald spot?

A: Just skip the shower cap. It is provided only for the purpose of keeping your hair dry. The solution will not do anything to your hair, but it is a good idea to tan your bald spot as well.

Q: What if spray tanning solution will get into my eyes?

A: It’s best to keep your eyes closed during the misting process; however the solution is not harmful to the eyes.

Q: Can I spray tan if I am pregnant?

A: Based on what we know, there is nothing specific in the product that would cause a problem. However, we elect not to take any chances. Therefore, we do not airbrush pregnant ladies or nursing mothers.

Q: Can I go swimming after spray tanning?

A: Wait at least 6 hours. Chlorinated water will bleach your tan really quickly, so I would not advise it. If you want to swim in the sea, make your swims short. The longer you soak yourself, the faster your tan will come off.

Q:How long does it take to get tan?

A: You will see results with your very first session. It takes 4 or 5 sessions using the Wolff System and Puretan Beds to build a base tan. We recommend the use of a quality lotion to increase your tanning potential and keep your skin feeling healthy and soft. The sessions should be used within a 10-day time period for optimum results.

Q: Why do I need to wear eye protection?

A: Eye protection is required by law. The eyelid does not effectively block ultraviolet light while tanning, therefore the use of approved eye protection is required to insure that our customers do not suffer ill effects such as cataracts or night blindness.

Q: Why use lotion?

A: The lotions sold at Nina's are the finest products available. They have been created especially for indoor tanning. These lotions are designed to deliver vitamins and minerals with maximum hydration. Your skin will react by becoming healthier. Healthy skin will tan more efficiently and hold its tan longer.
