Spray Tan

I hear so much about BKKSUN Pro Mist Spray Tanning, what’s so special?

It’s your “instant” tan! If you prefer getting that perfect color without hitting the beach or visiting a sunbed, then this is the thing for you. It’s also called sunless tanning.

Our certified and skilled Stylists use an all natural moisturizing spray tan solution that interacts with your skin to give you that beautiful dark, sexy glow in just 20 minutes.

How does BKKSUN Spray Tanning work?

All of our Pro Mist spray tan solutions have a the naturally occurring sugar cane base as the main ingredient.

It is commonly known as DHA, and it is a colorless sugar derived from plants like sugar beets and sugar cane, and has been used for decades in skin care products.

It causes a soothing reaction with the skin, causing it to turn a beautiful dark tan. Also, our natural spray tan solutions have a bronzer, which helps the Stylist see that you receive the perfect tan.

This bronzer washes off some under the shower, but the main ingredient DHA will continue to interact with your skin, developing your beautiful tan.

How many days will my spray tan last?

Your tan will usually last for up to 7-10 days, however with our skin nourishing tan extenders, you can keep that beautiful sun-kissed glow for up to 10 days.

How do I get ready for my spray tan?

Before your spray tan visit, we recommend to keep the following tips in mind for the best spray tanning experience:
• Do not shave 24 hours prior to visit.
• Shower and exfoliate. Use a body scrub, not a bar of soap.
• Spend a little extra time exfoliating areas with thick skin, such as knees, elbows and ankles.
• Remove makeup.
• Avoid wearing perfume or deodorant as these can lead to blotching and flaking.

What should I wear for my spray tan visit?

As much or as little as you’re comfortable with. Be comfortable. It just depends on whether you want tan lines or not. Full body sprays can be done in shorts and a top, in a bathing suit, and disposable undergarments that we can provide on request.

Can I hop in the shower or do a workout after my spray tan?

Not yet. Depending on how dark you want your tan, wait 1-4 hours before showering or squeezing in that workout.

For your first shower use cool water, do not use soap or shampoo. You will see the bronzer washing off but no worries, the bronzer is a cosmetic enhancement and your tan has already begun its natural development. Pat your skin delicately after showering, and always use one of our spray tan extender moisturizers after every shower to extend the life of your tan.

Why is keeping skin moisturized essential to maintain great sunless results?

Dry, flaky skin will fade sooner than well-nourished and moisturized skin. We have a wide range of tan extenders and moisturizers that do exactly this – provide great nourishing care for your skin while maintaining your beautiful, natural looking tan.

Will the solution come off on my clothes?

Tight clothes may cause your sunless tan to transfer to your clothes. The bronzer solution is water-soluble and washes out, but best to wear dark, loose-fitting clothes and flip flops.

Can I spray tan in addition to tanning in a sunbed?

Absolutely! If you really want to get a beautiful tan quickly, you can combine spray tanning with tanning in a sunbed for a Sunny “cocktail”. Please ask our Stylist for a personalized advice based on your skin type.

Why do I need to wear sunscreen even if I have a sunless tan?

Our all-natural spray tan solutions do not contain SPF. We advise to always use an SPF lotion before going out in the sun.

Sunbed and Sun Booth Tanning

Why does tanning make me feel so good?

Tanning releases endorphins, lowers your blood pressure and helps the body make vitamin D. Scientific studies have shown that tanning may cut the risk of both heart attacks and strokes, can help you feel more balanced, less nervous and more strengthened. And of course, looking good also makes you feel good!

How does tanning work?

Tanning is your body’s natural defense against sunburns. It’s what your body is designed to do! But you need to keep a number of things in mind in order to develop a beautiful natural tan – and follow the rules of what is know as “Smart Tanning”

The golden rule of smart tanning is: Don’t Ever Burn!

Talk to our expert Stylists about how to tan using our indoor tanning equipment. During your first visit, our certified Stylists assess your skin type, and provide you with a personalized recommendation. In addition, we recommend the tanning tips below, in order to prepare your skin before, during and after each tanning session.

You won’t get a beautiful tan from just one visit; the pigmentation of your skin needs time to develop. So take into account regular short visits to gradually develop a beautiful healthy glow.

How many days will my spray tan last?

Your tan will usually last for about a week, however with our skin nourishing tan extenders, you can keep that beautiful sun-kissed glow for up to 10 days.

Can you give me some tanning tips?

Before your tanning session:
• Moisturize regularly, as hydrated skin will hold a better tan.
• Shower and exfoliate.
• Remove makeup.
• Avoid wearing deodorant or perfume.
• Remove watches and jewelry to avoid unsightly tan lines!
• If you take medication, please speak with your doctor before you tan.

During your tanning session:
• Use an SPF lip balm – lips can burn easily!
• Apply tanning lotion immediately before your session. Never use outdoor tanning lotion or oils.
• You must use protective eyewear. Bring your own, or get them at our salon.
• If you choose to tan in the nude, be careful about areas not accustomed to sunlight. Cover sensitive areas with a towel.
• Stop tanning if your skin starts to sting, which can indicate overexposure.

After your tanning session, for the most beautiful results:
• Apply a tan extender to keep your tan looking rich and golden longer.

How often can I tan?

Don’t let too much time go by between visits, or your tan will begin to fade. We suggest that you wait 24 hours in between each session to allow your tan to fully develop.

How long should I tan when I first start?

This depends on your skin type, and our Stylist will give your personalized advice. If it’s your first time, you will probably have a short session. An average tanning session time ranges between 5 to 15 minutes.

What should I wear when I tan?

Our rooms are completely private and our Stylists will not interrupt your session. Many of our customers choose to tan either in swimwear, or less, if no tan lines make you happy.

Why should I use lotion?

Our skin care products are designed to topically provide vitamins and nourishing ingredients that may be depleted during tanning, and many of our products also contain cosmetic bronzers to help develop your tan faster. Not only will you get a darker tan, you will tan more quickly and it will last longer. Please ask our Stylists for advice on the full range of skin care products we have on offer.

Why is Indoor Tanning “Smart Tanning?”

Indoor tanning is an intelligent way to minimize the risk of sunburn while maximizing the enjoyment and benefit of having a tan. We call this SMART TANNING because tanners are taught by trained tanning facility personnel how their skin type reacts to sunlight and how to avoid sunburn outdoors, as well as in a salon.

How do I protect a tattoo?

Tattoos will continue to lose their brilliancy with exposure to light, whether it comes from indoors or from outdoors. Using a good SPF product will protect and preserve the brilliancy of your tattoo. We have many tattoo protection lotions in stock.

Why do I need to wear sunscreen even if I have a sunless tan?

Our all-natural spray tan solutions do not contain SPF. We advise to always use an SPF lotion before going out in the sun.

Skin Care Products

Which tanning lotion is best for indoor tanning?

All of our imported tanning lotions are designed to keep your skin moisturized during your tanning session, accelerate color and super important, they extend the life of your tan. Apply lotions just before you to tanning. A good lotion is your skins best friend!

Can I use an outdoor tanning lotion while tanning indoors?

No. By design, the make up of indoor tanning lotions are specifically designed to work with indoor tanning equipment. A BKKSUN Stylist will be happy to assist you in selecting the right products.

What are natural / immediate bronzers?

Please ask our Stylists for advice on our wide range of natural bronzers, that contain natural extracts like walnut oil, walnut shell extract, caramel, henna, carrot oil, banana or black tea extract. These are considered immediate bronzers because they add additional color to the skin, much like a cosmetic make-up.

What is an intensifier / accelerator?

These are types of indoor tanning lotion that helps you achieve a deeper tan, and is used with our sunbeds and booths. These tanning lotions do not contain any bronzer, but help you achieve a beautiful tan during your tanning sessions.

What is a tan extender?

Use a tan extender to maintain your beautiful tan after your tanning visits. These lotions provide daily moisture maintenance and prolong your tanning results.

Can you give me some skin care tips?

The tips here below form a good daily skin care regimen, and can keep your skin healthy and glowing longer.

Exfoliate
• Try to exfoliate weekly, but don’t overdo it, as this can scrub away layers of your tan and shorten its lifespan.
• If skin is still rough around your elbows, knees and heels, exfoliate only these areas more often.

Moisturize
Tanning can dry your skin, and color absorbs and develops better in hydrated skin.
It is extremely important to moisturize regularly, and replenish moisture particularly before and after sessions.

Pay special attention to your face
The skin on the face is the most sensitive and most delicate. Keep your face looking beautiful by doing the following:

Wash your face daily – morning and night.
Be sure to wash off makeup before each tanning visit.
Use a facial lotion every day.
