Sunless tanning is a temporary bronzing of the skin. The active ingredient that creates this appearance is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA is derived from natural sugar cane which interacts with the proteins and amino acids on the outer layer of the skin to produce a brown color.

In addition to the instant tan you receive with an airbrush tan, there are no harmful side effects (i.e. skin cancer, early skin aging). Our solution is enriched with potent age fighting, skin firming, and cell rejuvenating properties.

NO! Sunless tanning solutions do not have sunscreen protection, and will not protect you from damaging effects from UV exposure. Whenever you go into the sun you should always apply a sunscreen!

Important: All of our solutions are organic and natural!

DHA is FDA approved and only penetrates the outermost layer of the skin. There is no evidence that DHA is harmful. However, we do recommend that you consult with your physician first. A doctor’s note is needed for our technician to perform the tan.

Many people think that the darker the tan the better. Our goal at Sunboat Tan is to provide a natural looking tan. Your airbrush technician will assess your skin and suggest the shade that will best suit your needs. Only one application is needed to achieve results.

It is recommended that you do not use any lotions, oil-based exfoliating scrubs or moisturizing creams before your session. Also do not wear deodorant or makeup.

While being sprayed you can wear whatever makes you comfortable. We do require bottoms of some sort. We provide disposable bandeaus and panties. For men we provide disposable boxers.

Afterwards you will want wear dark loose fitting clothing and avoid wearing a bra, socks or other restrictive clothing immediately after your session, as this will make unwanted lines in your tan.

Most sunless tanning solutions contain an instant bronzer for immediate color. This is temporary and washes off during your first shower. The bronzer can leave color on clothing and/or sheets. The solution is water soluble and will wash out of cotton. Silk, leather and other materials may stain.

An airbrushed tan will typically last 7-10 days. It all depends on your skin type and how you care for it following the tanning session. Airbrush tanning produces color on the outermost layer of the skin, and that layer is being discarded, cell-by-cell. If you wear your skin hard, take long hot baths or showers, wear clothes that chafe, or do anything to encourage the skin to “shed,” so does your tan. You can extend the life of your tan by using St. Tropez Body moisturizer and Gradual Tan lotion at least once daily.

Use St. Tropez’s Everyday Body Moisturizer (Gradual Tan) as needed to keep your color looking fresh. St. Tropez’s Everyday is both a moisturizer and tan extender containing DHA.

We don’t recommend it. If you must get wet avoid the hot tub and try the pool. We recommend that you liberally apply a waterproof sunscreen before you enter the water. Pat dry with a towel (do not wipe) and apply a moisturizer immediately after you are done swimming or getting wet.

Your first session takes approximately 30-45 minutes. During your first session you will need to fill out your client profile and also instructions will need to be given for the tan. After your first session, sessions will then only take about 25-30 minutes. It takes approximately 15-20minutes to airbrush the tan. Drying usually takes 10 minutes.

Yes it is. However, we require the signature and presence of the parent or guardian for those less than 16 years of age.

No, absolutely not! Orangeness is the result of older tanning agents or a level of DHA too dark for your skin tone. A professional Airbrush tan with modern tanning agents avoids this, and your technician picking the right level of tan for your needs. Streakiness is caused by improper application.
