Skin Type and The Perfect Spray Tan...

Why is skin type important when selecting a tanning solution?

The key to a fantastic looking spray tan is to ensure that the tan solution is right for your skin type.

Using a solution that has a DHA level that is too strong for your skin type will result in a tan that simply looks fake.

All of Ageless Tanning clients receive a skin type analysis at their first appointment and options are discussed to determine the best solution that will deliver the best tanning results for you.
