Spray Tanning

• Exfoliate! 24 hours prior to your appointment, using a non-abrasive exfoliator, loofah, or mitt to clear away any dry, dead skin cells.
• Avoid using bar soaps, high-pH shower products, or in-shower moisturizers. These products can neutralize the DHA bronzing reaction within the skin.
• Any waxing or shaving should be completed 24 hours prior to the session.
• On the day of the session, do not apply anything to the skin that may act as a barrier between the sunless solution and the skin. No lotions, deodorant, creams, or perfumes prior to the session.
• Wear loose-fitting dark clothing and remove jewelry. Tight clothing can rub or smear bronzers – especially around the knees, elbows, and waist.

• Do not wear a bra or tight clothing for up to 4 hours afterward.
• Do not wear tight shoes after the appointment – slip-ons or flip-flops would be ideal.
• Wait at least 12 hours to shower or sweat.
• Do not use an exfoliant or loofah until you are ready for the tan to come off.
• Avoid moisturizers and shower gels that contain petroleum or mineral oils.
• Use only mild soap and water to wash the bronzer off.
• For best results, use Infinity Sun’s Hydrating Extender.

The number of people choosing to avoid the dangers of UV rays and, instead, attain their sun-kissed look using sunless tanning products continues to rise. At the Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, experienced airbrush technicians use the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning System to provide clients with a beautiful, golden-brown tan that looks completely natural and is evenly applied. Even application of any tanning solution is extremely important, and the only way to learn this skill is through experience. For this reason, choosing a spa that has experienced airbrush technicians is essential.

The Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning System is considered the ‘Rolls Royce’ of the sunless tanning industry. It is easy to see why this system has received such praise: Infinity launched the first plug-and-spray technology, which means that this system is specifically designed to take the guesswork out of the airbrush tanning process. With this system, an airbrush technician can easily apply an even coat of the sunless tanning solution, thus providing the client with a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. The Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning System eliminates concerns related to streaks or bare spots. Furthermore, the solutions used with the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning System have a pleasant scent and deliver antioxidants, botanicals, and a variety of other natural extracts to the client’s skin.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the main active ingredient in these spray tan products. DHA is a colorless sugar that causes the skin to darken when a chemical reaction occurs between the dihydroxyacetone and the amino acids in keratin. Keratin is a major component of the skin’s surface. DHA always produces the same results: The results achieved during an Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning session are based on the concentration of the solution used and the application levels.

The chemical reactions that occur between dihydroxyacetone and the various amino acids produce different suntan tones: These tones range in color from yellow to brown. The pigments that result from these chemical processes are referred to as ‘melanoidin’s’ and they are very similar to melanin. Melanin is a complex polymer, dark biological pigment that is found in the deeper layers of the skin; it slowly darkens the skin when an individual is exposed to UV rays. This darkening occurs because the body is creating a natural barrier between the skin and the UV rays in an attempt to prevent sunburn.

That depends on which solution options the client chooses. With the Coco Mocha solution, darkening begins within one hour and continues for 3. With the Coco Magic solution, the tan is fully developed after just one hour. Once the tanning solution has fully developed, it is okay to shower or bathe.

Using the Infinity Sun airbrush gun, the airbrush technician applies a customized mist of the sunless tanning solution to the client’s body.

The airbrush technician will need to spray the mist on the body from about 3 to 5 inches away. Using this technique, clients receive very natural-looking results. These beautiful results can only be attained using this innovative airbrushing method. Many times, the self-tanning spray machines miss certain areas, leaving the client with an uneven, unnatural-looking result.

Yes, sunless tanning can be combined with tanning beds and sunbathing; however, exposing oneself to UV light can lead to skin cancer and premature aging. In addition, sunless tanning products and the sunless tanning that was achieved offer no protection against UV light; therefore, be sure to wear some type of sun protection. In addition, drying out the skin by spending time in the sun without some type of protection hastens the exfoliation process (i.e., how quickly the body sheds skin cells), thus shortening the longevity of the results achieved through sunless tanning.

No. While many of the self-tanners that are available on the market are carrot-based, Infinity Sun’s formulas use DHA instead. Once the interaction between the DHA and amino acids takes place, the skin darkens, providing a natural-looking result that resembles how the client would normally tan if he or she were exposed to UV rays.

No. Following treatment with Coco Mocha or Magic tanning solution, clients usually notice a very faint, sweet-smelling scent. There have never been any undesirable odors linked to the Airbrush Spray Tanning System or its tanning solutions. If any odors are present, once the solution has fully developed, the client can shower or bathe, consequently eliminating any odors that are linked to the tanning solution.

No. While many of the self-tanners that are available on the market are carrot-based, Infinity Sun’s formulas use DHA instead. Once the interaction between the DHA and amino acids takes place, the skin darkens, providing a natural-looking result that resembles how the client would normally tan if he or she were exposed to UV rays.

As long as proper preparation was performed prior to the Airbrush Spray Tanning session and daily moisturizing with a pH-balanced moisturizer is followed after treatment, the tan should last approximately seven days, sometimes longer. Sunless tans fade just like traditional tans do. As dead skin cells are shed, the tan gradually fades. The key to longevity is maintaining proper skin hydration.

People who have a hard time getting a tan or who have sensitive skin may find airbrush tanning a great alternative to exposing their skin to the dangers of UV rays. A single airbrush tanning session at the Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is equivalent to approximately six sessions in a UV tanning bed, thus making Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning cost-effective and much less time-consuming. Furthermore, airbrush tanning prevents sunburns, which keeps the skin from developing signs of premature aging caused by the UV rays emitted from tanning beds and the sun.

The airbrush used with the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning System allows an experienced technician to provide clients with the smooth, flawless application necessary to achieve a natural-looking result. As an airbrush technician applies the tanning solution, care is taken to ensure that the client receives even coverage everywhere. In addition, since the technician is actually viewing the client’s body, he or she will be able to see if any areas are missing a tanning solution. Furthermore, with an experienced Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tan technician, over-application in problem areas and areas that tend to absorb more color is avoided. These areas include the elbows, knees, and around the hairline, as well as in areas that are discolored and areas affected by a skin condition (e.g., eczema).

The misting booths have a timer and are pre-set; therefore, the amount of tanning spray is not adjusted for each individual. In addition, the client has very little control over the solution, including where it lands on the body. Many times, it seems as if the machine itself does not have any control. Custom airbrush applications allow technicians to review the application and then perfect any areas before the session is complete.

Since water usually has a different pH level than the skin, any contact with water shortens the life of a sunless tan. Saltwater or chlorinated water can cause streaking and fade the results, causing the tan achieved with the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning system to diminish quicker than expected.

Anyone who would like a natural-looking sunless tan should consider scheduling an appointment for an airbrush tan at the Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa.

There are many pregnant women who choose to have airbrush tanning services. As long as the client has approval from her obstetrician, she should be able to have sunless tanning sessions.

While there are no known side effects related to people with diabetes and sunless tanning using the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning System and its solutions, for safety’s sake, individuals should speak with their physician before having an airbrush-tanning session.

Yes, airbrush tanning with the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning System is safe for people of all ages; however, at Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, individuals who are under the age of 18 must be accompanied by their parent or guardian when they arrive for their tanning session. At each session, the parent or guardian will need to sign a document giving permission for their child to receive the airbrush-tanning service. In addition, clients under the age of 18 are required to wear clothing during their tanning session (e.g., males – swim trunks and females – bikinis, etc.).

There have been no adverse reactions documented in relation to tanning solution getting in the eyes; however, clients are always welcome to wear eye protection during their session.

Preparing For An Airbrush Spray Tan Session At Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa In Baton Rouge, Louisiana The best results from an Infinity Sun airbrush tanning session require that clients do a few things before their appointment.

These recommendations help prepare the skin to readily accept the tanning solution and help the client be prepared after the tanning session.

• 24 hours before the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning appointment, the client should exfoliate his or her skin. Use a non-abrasive exfoliator, mitt, or loofah. By exfoliating the skin, any dead, dry skin cells are cleared away.
• Do not use in-shower moisturizers, bar soaps, or high-pH shower products.
• On the day of the airbrush tanning session, nothing should be applied to the skin. This includes deodorant, lotions, perfumes, and creams. These products can act as a barrier between the sunless tanning solution and the skin, which will affect the final outcome.
• Shaving and/or waxing must be completed at least 24 hours before the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray Tanning session.
• All jewelry needs to be removed and should not be put back on for at least three hours after the session; therefore, airbrush technicians recommend that clients remove their jewelry the morning of their appointment and leave it at home.
• On the day of the Infinity Sun Airbrush Spray tanning session, wear flip-flops or slip-on shoes.
• When arriving at Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a tanning session, clients need to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing. Tight clothing can negatively affect the results as it rubs against the body, smearing the bronzers. Areas that are particularly at risk include the elbows, knees, and waist. In addition, since tanning solutions can react with silk, nylon, leather, and wool, clients should choose other fabrics to wear during or directly after their tanning session.

• Do not shower or bathe until the tanning solution has fully developed. Doing so sooner may lessen the intensity of the tan.
• When washing off the bronzer, use mild soap and water.
• Avoid wearing a bra or tight clothing for about four hours.
• For at least 12 hours, avoid performing activities that could cause sweating.
• When showering or bathing, do not use a loofah or an exfoliant.
• Avoid using shower gels and moisturizers containing mineral oils or petroleum.
• Use Infinity Sun’s Hydrating Extender to lengthen the life of the tan.

• Toners that contain witch hazel or alcohol.
• Dove products (including Dove soap).
• Anti-aging products.
• Face scrubs and masks.
• Facial strips to clean the pores.
• Anti-acne products
• Hair thinning or hair removing lotion.
• Depilatory products.
• Wax depilatories.
• Bleach products are used on body hair.

The color that an airbrush tan helps create will not wash off. It just fades as the epidermis (i.e., the outermost layer of skin) wears away through the natural exfoliation process. Speeding up the process is possible and can be accomplished by gently scrubbing the skin using a loofah or a washcloth; however, over-scrubbing can lead to a streaky-looking, uneven tan.

At the Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa, the spa’s airbrush spray tan artist customizes each tanning session. While creating these custom-designed services, to determine the best way to reach the desired shade, the artist always takes the client’s natural skin tone into consideration.
