 A customized blushtan™ provides a healthy glow, and a an instant confidence boost for any occasion. After just one 20 minute appointment at one of our professional tanning studios, you’ll have a complete makeover and the best part? It’s guilt free. There are no UV lights or harmful rays used in our sunless solution application. Our proprietary blushtan® solution comes in a variety of custom undertones with a variety of color depths within each shade. With each color consultation, your natural coloring is taken into consideration before a tailored tone is created just for you.

blushtan® solution was created in partnership with an industry specific lab and was developed (and is enjoyed!) to double as a skincare treatment. Taking a gentle, yet calculated, approach our short ingredient list begins with water and follows with a few skin nourishing and chemical-free elements. We want our clients to enjoy more than just the immediate gratification of a flawless spray tan, but for those results to last, and given water’s hydrating properties, our spray tans provide a subtle, and even fade.

 Two key ingredients blended into each blushtan™ that set us apart and we are proud to provide are: hyaluronic acid and caffeine. This anti-aging power duo actively firms the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Not only does this provide each client with dewey skin and a glowing complexion, but helps to fight the signs of aging. An added skin care benefit to your guilt free glow!

 Unlike UV tanning, a sunless tan is created using DHA (Dihydroxyacetone acetone) or as we call it, “the active tan ingredient.” no harmful rays are necessary to create a gorgeous fake tan as dha reacts with the top layer of the skin to create a golden brown. the tan is temporary because it is only on the top layer of skin cells and will fade as your skin cells turn over, a very natural process. our tan extending products also contain dha and are the best way to extend the life of your spray tan.
