Spray Tanning Solution
Black Magic Spray Tanning Solutions are made from the highest quality ingredients available and are all made here in Australia.
The active ingredient in this product is Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and has been successfully used in spray tanning for over forty years. DHA causes a temporary colour change on your skin and is regarded as the safest method to obtain a tan. It is important to note that formulations and quality can vary significantly between tanning solutions. Black Magic ensures the highest quality ingredients are used therefore producing a product with no offensive odour. Tanning products also are infused with Aloe Vera and Green Tea Extract which assists in delivering an amazing natural looking tan.
The tanning process take approximately fifteen minutes to create a perfect tan. Your tan wil last up to 10 days. This will vary depending on skin type and post tan care.
Pre-Tanning Care
It is very important to exfoliate your skin prior to getting your spray tanning done. Pay particular attention to the dry areas such as the knees, elbows and heels. Your skin must be free from any moisturisers, oils, deodorants, make-up, perfumes before your spray tan appointment. Ensure you wait 24 hours after waxing or shaving before you spray tan.
Wear light loose clothing, preferably dark in colour and slippers or thongs to your tanning appointment and after tanning is completed. It is advisable to wear a g-string to get the best possible tan, but this is a personal choice so wear whatever you feel most comfortable. We also supply disposable g-string in our salon free of charge if requested.
Post-Tanning Care
Water can affect the spray tan during its developing stage so keep dry. Wait 8 hours minimum before showering. Limit heavy activities that cause perspiration prior to your first shower as it will affect your tan. You may choose some suitable after tan care products to help prolong your tan and help keep your skin well cared for.
