What is this Healthy Tan?
Healthy Tan—body air brushing using an FDA approved ingredient, DHA,(dihydroxyacetone). It is the same ingredient in all the safe self tanning products.

Healthy Tan simply has:
A delivery system that provides an even application thereby avoiding streaking and blotching. We recommend only one session per week and in some cases we will provide a maximum of two applications in a week for certain skin types.

How Does This Work?
Very simply, the DHA (dihydroxyacetone), reacts with the amino acids (proteins) in the outermost layer of your skin. Note: Those cells are already “dead skin”. It takes about three to four hours for the reaction to complete and look tan.

Is This Safe?
The active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone and has been approved by the FDA for cosmetic applications. The balance of the spray is composed of inert carrying agents. We have not, to date, had any such reaction to our product, but we do know that some self tanning lotions using DHA have had customers experience a rash that lasts for a couple of hours and then disappears.

How long does the Healthy Tan Last?
We have found that the length of tan is determined by the following factors:
The skin type - A persons skin type will react to Healthy Tan very much like it does to the natural sun.
The amount of “wear” - Only the outermost layer of skin is “tanned”. As the skin layer is lost, so is the tan. Wear comes from rubbing, soaking in water or long showers, tight clothing, “scratchy” clothing or bleach. You wouldn’t use an SOS pad on the finish of your new car, so don’t be abrasive to your skin and you will keep your tan longer. Finally, dry skin will shorten the life of your tan! So—Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!!! It depends on you. Four to Ten days.

How long should I allow for the treatment?
The application takes about 7—10 minutes and a couple minutes to dry enough to get dressed. Always, allow 15 minutes whenever you come in for an appointment.

How often should I tan? Is every day all right?
We suggest once a week, but that depends on your personal tan “wear”. We will not schedule tanning applications more than twice a week. Excessive applications may result in some discoloration.

What should I wear to be sprayed and will it damage my clothes?
You can wear a swim suit just as you would at the beach and our spray will wash out just fine with out damage to your suit or you may wish to avoid tan lines completely, it’s your choice.

I like tanning in the sun and using tanning beds. Why should I change?
We know how wonderfully warm the sun feels and how relaxing tanning beds are. We used them too!!! Some of the most recent reports show how really dangerous rays from the sun are to our skin. Most recently, the bulbs from tanning beds have been shown to be even more damaging to skin than the sun.

The reason to use the Healthy Tan system is in our name;
it gives you a safe and beautiful “Healthy Tan”.

Future Sessions:
Subsequent applications can be scheduled once a week, depending on your skin type and how you care for your skin.
