Can a spray tan actually change your life?  We'd certainly say so!  Because when you're confident in your beauty, there's true beauty in your confidence.  A Golden Mermaid tan will give you that confidence.  Whether you come to our in-home studio in Barnegat, or we come to you, your experience with Golden Mermaid Tanning will leave you looking fabulous and feeling ready to take on the world! 

What exactly is a spray tan & how does it work? 

A spray tan is a healthy way to achieve beautiful color without exposure to harmful UV rays. Your glorious Golden Mermaid tan is the result of two things: bronzer & DHA.

​

A bronzer provides the immediate color you see as soon as you are sprayed. It is usually made from food coloring and is designed to match you​r final tan. Bronzer gets very dark as DHA develops and will wash off completely during your first shower. 

DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is a white powder created from sugar, that turns clear when mixed with water. Discovered in the 1920s, DHA reacts with the amino acids in your skin, resulting in a beautiful golden tan (approximately 10-12 hours after application).

Preparing for your Golden Mermaid spray tan

  • Exfoliate! Dry rough patches of skin tend to attract and hold more color than skin that is smooth and soft. Failing to exfoliate before spray tanning will result in blotchy patches of dye on your elbows, knees, and other rough areas. A loofah and an oil- free exfoliating body scrub will be your best bet.

  • Shave unwanted hair. While excessive body hair will not impair the ability of the spray tan to stick to your skin, shaving soon after receiving a spray tan will result in the color flaking off.  If shaving  before being sprayed, make sure you do well ahead of time- not immediately before your appointment.

  • Avoid all lotions, creams, deodorant, and makeup, as they provide a barrier that will interfere with the spray tan adhering to your skin. 

  • Wear loose fitting clothes. Whether you're coming to us or we're coming to you, you'll want the least amount of friction possible. While bronzer will wash out of clothing, the objective is to keep as much on your skin as possible! 

Aftercare

  • Avoid touching or rubbing your skin with your hands. This will cause your palms to turn an orangey brown.

  • Avoid ANY water on your skin for 10-12 hours. NO showering, NO laundry, NO doing dishes (yay!). Contact with water will cause streaking and uneven coloration. 

  • Avoid excessive movement/ sweat inducing activities. The result of friction combined with liquid, or by itself, can remove some of the tan before it sets. 

  • Don't put any products on your skin. This can remove the tan before it sets. 

  • Shower and rinse your skin anytime after 10-12 hours. The bronzer will wash off. DO NOT exfoliate or scrub your skin. Avoid using soaps or body products for initial rinse off, and be sure to pat dry. 

  • Stay moisturized! Your tan will last longer and your skin will look healthier!
