We recommend 2-3 days before the event.

When used as recommended, Norvell’s professional and retail sunless tanning products are formulated to give a natural, just off the beach™ color, starting with our perfectly blended instant cosmetic bronzers that allow you to gently transition into your DHA tan over 24 hours after application.

It is important to keep skin moisturized after sunless tanning as dry, flaky skin will slough off faster and color will fade sooner. Your goal is to basically slow down your body’s natural exfoliation process.

The longevity of a sunless tan depends on the type of self-tanning application, the skin’s natural exfoliation process, and on the skin care regimen followed before and after application. The tan will fade 5 to 7 days.

The principle tanning agent used in all self-tanning formulas is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This ingredient does not produce a “real tan” by increasing the skin’s melanin levels, rather it creates a tanned appearance by developing a brown color on the surface of the skin. The action of DHA is limited to the upper layer of the skin and involves a reaction between DHA and skin proteins and oxygen that produces brown compounds. This process is similar to what occurs when you slice open an apple and the surface of the apple browns when it’s exposed to the oxygen in the air. * All solutions are, quick drying, non sticky, paraben free, gluten free, 100% vegan and nut allergen free.

Norvell professional sunless solutions and Norvell retail self-tanning products use advanced DHA odor encapsulation, the newest technology in odor inhibitors, to ‘trap’ odor causing molecules commonly associated with DHA products and virtually eliminate sunless odor, however that smell is actually how your pH reacts with the solution so it is not 100% guaranteed.

The actual spray tan itself takes about 10 minutes. We do allow 20-30 minute appointments for each client to answer any questions you may have and to assure you have a flawless tan.

The main difference is that with the rapid tan you are able to shower faster. Both of the spray tan formulas take 24 hours to fully develop the color. ... Because the rapid tan is time sensitive, you can leave it on longer if you would like a darker tan, or shorter if you would like a lighter tan.
