sunless tan FAQ

WHAT PRODUCTS SHOULD I AVOID BEFORE MY SESSION?

We recommend that you not use depilatory creams, oil-based scrubs or moisturizers on the day of the session. These products could leave residue on your skin and prevent you from achieving an optimal result. You should not wear any makeup, deodorant, cream or perfume during your session. Your skin should be clean and dry.

 

IS SPRAY TANNING SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMAN?

DHA acts only on the top layer of the skin. NUDA blends are non-toxic and there is no evidence that demonstrates the harmfulness of DHA. However, each pregnancy is different and we strongly recommend consulting your doctor before making an appointment.

 

ARE THERE ANY RISKS?

Although spray tanning is considered a safe way to get a natural-looking complexion, some people have reported allergic reactions to the DHA components. If you suspect that you may be allergic to DHA, you can request to test the skin on your stomach before performing a full application. Stomach skin is known to react quickly in the case of an allergy and is the ideal area to validate whether your skin will react to the product or not.

 

DO TANNING SOLUTIONS PROTECT MY SKIN FROM UV RAYS?

​​No, NUDA’s tinted mists do not contain any UV-protective agents. Our solutions do not protect skin from being sunburned and your skin can still tan. You should always apply sunscreen prior to exposing your skin to the sun.

 

WILL SPRAY TANNING AFFECT MY TATTOOS?

No, the spray tanning solutions do not permanently affect your tattoos, but may make your tattoo colours appear darker than usual while the product is active. You can ask your NUDA specialist to cover your tattoo(s) with barrier cream before applying the solution to prevent the tattoo colours from being prematurely altered.

 

WHAT CLOTHES SHOULD I WEAR TOO MY SESSION?

While the product is being applied to your skin, you may wear a swimsuit or underwear and bra. We strongly advise that you bring dark-coloured, loose-fitting clothes that you can change into at the end of your session. We also recommend that you avoid wearing a bra, stockings or any other tight garments immediately after your session.

 

CAN THE SOLUTION STAIN MY CLOTHING?

Most spray tanning solutions, including NUDA solutions, contain accelerators (bronzers), which provide customers with immediate results. These accelerators are temporary and disappear after the first shower. They can sometimes leave marks on clothing or sheets. The solution is water-soluble and can easily be removed from most fabrics. However, keep in mind that accelerators can stain silk and leather permanently. The solution will not stain your clothes after your first shower, unless you use abundant oil-based products that could pull the solution from your skin (for example, during a massage).

 

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY NAILS DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS?

Wearing nail polish actually protects your nails from the solution. However, your NUDA specialist will always apply barrier cream to your nails, to protect them from the solution and prevent them from getting stained by it as well.

 

WHAT SHOULD I AVOID OR DO POST APPOINTMENT?

Most of our spray tan clients get a tan for a specific event (weddings, bday, fitness shoots etc) so keeping your beautiful result at least until your event is key! Here are some tips: ALL other services should be done before your tanning appointment, (waxing, lashes, pedicures and manicures etc) You make this your last appointment to avoid any of your tan from wearing off prematurely (or even from being waxed off!). If you exercise try to do this pre appointment and avoid any exercise or excess sweating (especially in the pre rinse phase of the service). 

 

CAN I WORKOUT WITH A SPRAY TAN?

Of course you can! We recommend you avoid any exercise while your tan is processing (the pre rinse hours). However please keep in mind that any excessive sweating and clothes rubbing will cause your tan to pre maturely fade especially in certain areas (under arms, under and between your breasts etc).

 

HOW DO I REMOVE MY TAN?

Its super easy! Take your *Spray Tan Exfoliating Mitt* and a body wash of our choice and gently exfoliate your body! (our Nuda coffee Exfoliating Scrub works magical for this process)

 

HOW OFTEN CAN I GET A SPRAY TAN?

Since the tan is non-toxic you could get sprayed as often as you’d like! However before you come back for your next tan make sure that your previous tan has been completely removed so ensure an even tan!

 

CAN YOU TAN OVER A SUNBURN or TAN LINES?

Unfortunately tanning over a sunburn is not recommended. A sunburn is damaged skin and should heal fully before it is exposed to any products. Tan lines however can be tanned over! But it will not get rid of the lines completely but it will make them somewhat less noticeable.
