Spray on the perfect tan without sun exposure using our airbrush tanning system.

Let’s face it, everyone looks and feels better when sporting a nice bronzed or golden glow. We look healthier, slimmer in our clothes and our friends tell us we look “better”. Some people think they need to go to the beach, the pool or even tanning beds to achieve that look but those are the worst things you could do – see Tanning Facts below. On the other hand, not only does our airbrush tanning system give you a natural-looking golden or bronzed tan, it is also has a lot of benefits for your skin. Tanning lotions in general have a lot of benefits for the skin. One of the most recognized benefits is their capacity to provide a silky and natural look on the skin. The exfoliation process is able to remove dead skin and, thus, give it a pretty and very natural glow.

About Airbrush Tanning

Airbrush tanning is a process that uses an air compressor and airbrush delivery system to gently and evenly apply tanning solution to the skin. The tanning solution is streak-free, applies easily and evenly, absorbs quickly, gives a natural-looking golden, and fades like a real tan. You will not have to expose yourself to hours of damaging UV rays which can cause not only premature aging but also skin cancer – see Skin Cancer facts below. The final effect will last up to ten days as the skin slowly exfoliates off the dead skin tissues. The airbrush tanning system is FDA approved to give you a safe and healthy tan, using DHA (derived from sugar cane) and causes a natural reaction on the top layer of your skin to naturally produce a beautiful tan without damage to the skin.

We also carry “Tan in a Can” which contains the same superior streak-free tanning solution as in the Airbrush Tanning System. The only difference is that this is a convenient, hand-held spray bottle that you can take with you anywhere if you want to touch up your tan. It holds enough for two full body tans.

Full Body Spray: $30.00

Tan In A Can (2 full body sprays): $30.00
