Get the Elite Glow: Professional Sunless Tanning (Spray Tan)

At Elite, we don’t believe in “one size fits all.” Your session begins with a brief skin analysis. Our experts will choose a solution with specific base pigments (violet, chocolate, or olive) to complement your natural undertones and achieve your desired level of darkness without looking artificial.

Absolutely. We use professional-grade, paraben-free, and vegan-certified solutions. Our formulas are enriched with skin-soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, making them safe for most sensitive skin types. If you have specific concerns, we can perform a small patch test 24 hours prior.

With proper preparation and aftercare, your tan will typically last 7 to 10 days. Because we use high-quality DHA, the tan will fade evenly as your skin naturally exfoliates, rather than becoming “patchy.”

It depends on the treatment. We recommend getting your spray tan after facials, waxes, or chemical peels. Specifically, wait at least 24 hours after a wax and 7 days after a chemical peel before tanning. If you are receiving injectables (Botox/Fillers), you should wait at least 24 hours before a spray tan.

While the solution is drying, some of the “bronzer” (the temporary color guide) may rub off on fabric. We recommend wearing dark, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment. Once you take your first rinse, the tan is set and should not transfer to your sheets.

The difference is the rinse time. The Signature tan requires 8–12 hours to develop before you shower. The Express tan uses a faster-acting formula that allows you to rinse off the cosmetic bronzer in 2–4 hours, though the tan will still continue to darken over the next 24 hours.

Your first shower should be a lukewarm water rinse only—no soap or loofahs. You will see the “bronzer” wash down the drain; this is normal! Wait 24 hours after your session before using body wash or moisturizing.

ou must avoid sweating or any moisture (including rain and washing your hands) until your initial rinse. After your first shower, you can return to your normal gym routine, but keep in mind that heavy sweating and friction may cause the tan to fade slightly faster.

No. A spray tan is purely cosmetic and does not contain SPF. It does not protect your skin from sunburn or UV damage. We always recommend applying a tan-safe sunscreen before heading outdoors.

Booth tans are automated and often miss certain areas or “pool” in spots like the wrists and ankles. At Elite, a trained technician applies the tan by hand, ensuring a flawless, contoured finish and perfectly blended hands and feet for a truly natural look.
