WHAT IS A SUNLESS TAN AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Spray tanning is a sunless tanning treatment that provides a natural-looking, bronzed glow without exposure to harmful UV rays. At Juvé Medical Spa, we use professional-grade Norvell® DHA spray tan solutions to deliver flawless, streak-free results customized to your skin tone and desired level of color.

Spray tanning is a safe alternative to traditional sun tanning and tanning beds, helping you achieve radiant color while protecting your skin from premature aging and sun damage.

Norvell spray tan solutions contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a plant-derived sugar that reacts with the amino acids in the outermost layer of your skin. This reaction creates a temporary bronzing effect that gradually develops over 8–24 hours.

Because the color develops on the surface of the skin, spray tans:

• Do not penetrate beyond the top skin layer

• Fade naturally over 5–10 days

• Can be reapplied regularly without skin damage

DOES IT WORK FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

Yes! Spray tanning is suitable for all skin types and tones, including very fair, sensitive, or sun-sensitive skin.

Our Norvell solutions are:

• Designed to complement a wide range of undertones

• Customizable for subtle glow or deep bronze

• Free from parabens and harsh additives

• Known for natural color development without orange tones

Our trained professionals will help select the best shade for your skin type and desired result.

HOW TO PREP FOR SPRAY TAN?

Decide if you’d like to wear a swim suit, be nude, wear underwear, or whatever you’re comfortable in. We offer pasties for nipples and paper thong underwear.

Proper skin preparation ensures even color, longer-lasting results, and a flawless finish.

24 hours before your appointment:

• Exfoliate thoroughly using a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt

• Shower and remove all dead skin cells

The day of your appointment:

• Shower without applying lotions, oils, deodorant, or perfume

• Avoid makeup if possible

• Wear loose, dark clothing and sandals

• Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior (not the same day)

🚫 Avoid lotions, sunscreen, deodorant, or self-tanner before your session, as these can create barriers to even absorption. 

AFTER CARE AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST

Following proper aftercare helps your tan look beautiful for days. It usually will last 6-10 days

Immediately after your session:

• Avoid water, sweating, or tight clothing for 8–24 hours (based on your selected solution)

• Do not apply lotions or oils until your first rinse

After your first rinse:

• Use lukewarm water only (no soap at first rinse unless instructed)

• Pat skin dry—do not rub

• Begin moisturizing daily with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion

For best results:

• Avoid long hot showers, saunas, and exfoliating products

• Gently cleanse the skin

• Reapply moisturizer daily to prolong your tan

Your spray tan will fade evenly over time as your skin naturally exfoliates.

IS IT SAFE?

Yes. Sunless spray tanning is considered safe when applied correctly. Norvell DHA solutions are FDA-approved for external cosmetic use and widely used by professionals in medical spas and salons worldwide.

Spray tanning:

• Does not protect against sunburn (SPF is still needed)

• Is ideal for events, vacations, and year-round color

• Can be safely maintained with regular sessions
