FAQ
How good are the results of a SunFX spray tan?
SunFX spray tans create a beautifully natural looking tan on virtually all skin types. Because it is applied in a controlled environment, by a trained professional, SunFX spray tans typically produce results far superior to sun and/or solarium exposure. It is almost impossible to tell a SunFX tan from a natural tan.
How long does a SunFX spray tan take?
A full body spray tan will take no longer than 5 minutes, including drying time. Compare this to the old air-brush systems that can take as long as 20 minutes and it is easy to see why more people are choosing SunFX spray tans.
How should I prepare for my SunFX spray on tan?
It is important to thoroughly exfoliate your entire body prior to receiving your SunFX spray tan. For the best results we recommend that you cleanse and exfoliate with our gorgeous SunFX Body Polish. This will remove any dead skin cells that would otherwise result in the premature fading of your SunFX tan. Ideally you should try to exfoliate the night before your tanning appointment. Try to avoid wearing too much makeup to your appointment. Moisturizers and deodorants can reduce the effectiveness of the tanning solution so you should avoided these where possible.
What should I wear to the salon?
Although you will leave feeling dry after your application, it is best to wear loose fitting, dark colored clothing. Typically SunFX tanning solutions will not stain clothing, and any rub off will wash out easily. However staining has been known to occur on some lighter leathers, acrylic or other sensitive fabrics, so avoid wearing these on the day of your appointment.
What if anything should I avoid after receiving my SunFX tan?
Your SunFX spray tan will continue to develop for 2 – 3 hours after application. However for best results, it is advisable that you avoid the following activities for at least 5 hours after receiving your spray on tan:
- Water
- Saunas/Spas
- Physical Exercise/Sweating
- Swimming
- Tight Fitting Clothing
How long will my SunFX spray tan last?
Whilst results can vary depending on the individual and the activities they undertake, most people can expect their SunFX tan to last for somewhere between 5 to 7 days. Depending on your skin type and pre-tan preparation you could still be enjoying a healthy, natural looking tan up to 10 days after application. The life of your tan can of course be greatly extended by the use of our unique SunFX tan extenders as explained below.
How can I extend the life of my tan?
Avoiding excessive exposure to water and obviously any form of exfoliation will help to extend the life of your SunFX spray tan. But your tan can be further extended by the use of SunFX Body Lotion Tan Extender, SunFX Summer’s Secret or SunFX Body Butter. You can even extend and highlight your tan through the use of our gorgeous SunFX Body Shimmer.
Are SunFX Solutions safe to use?
Our exclusive SunFX solutions are regarded as some of the finest in the world. The unique combination of natural bronzers, highly purified water (aqua) and the approved cosmetic tanning agent DHA produce a truly remarkable tanning result. You can be assured that our tanning solutions contain no alcohol, oils, perfumes, parabens or artificial preservatives. Most salons will have on hand nose and ear plugs as well as eye protection should you decide to use these items.
Are SunFX spray tans suitable for pregnant women?
Although our tanning solutions are 100% all natural we do not recommend that you receive a SunFX spray tan whilst pregnant. A more suitable alternative during pregnancy would be to use our Summers Secret tan builder in conjunction with our tan extenders.
Are SunFX tanning solutions really all natural?
Yes, and they have been since 1999. In that year, after extensive research and numerous trials, we released our new all natural spray tanning solutions, which proved to be an instant worldwide hit. Today we at SunFX continue to produce 100% all natural tanning solutions, making our solutions quite unique in the worldwide spray tanning market. Our range has now grown to 10, making ours the largest range of tanning solutions in the world. Our tanning solutions contain no alcohols, perfumes, oils, parabens or artificial preservatives. We source only the best all natural ingredients in addition to purifying our own water to ensure that our solutions remain the purest in the world. In addition to this, the DHA used in our SunFX range of solutions has the highest purity rating in the world. So as you can see, SunFX tanning solutions are the only choice for health concious consumers.
Do I still need to apply sunscreen after my SunFX spray on tan?
Yes you do. SunFX tanning solutions do not provide any useful protection against harmful UV rays. We recommend that you apply an approved SPF 30+ sunscreen at least 15 minutes prior to sun exposure, with additional applications every 30 minutes or so, depending on your level of activity, and exposure to water.
