Getting a sun-kissed glow with spray tanning is a safe and convenient way to avoid harmful UV rays. This service involves applying a fine mist of tanning solution to the skin, which contains an active ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA). A natural-looking tan is produced when DHA reacts with amino acids in the outermost layer of the skin. Spray tans can be applied to various areas, including the face, arms, legs, and entire body, allowing for a uniform and customized tan. The process is quick and straightforward, providing an even color that enhances natural beauty.
Spray tans are suitable for anyone looking to achieve a bronzed look without the risks of sun exposure or tanning beds. Results are typically visible immediately after the application, with full-color development within 4 to 8 hours. The tan lasts about 5 to 10 days, depending on skin type, preparation, and aftercare. To experience the benefits of Spray Tans in Forest Hills, NY, book your appointment with Face First Aesthetics today and enjoy a radiant complexion that complements your style.

Ensure the best results from your blushtan™ appointment by prepping your skin beforehand. Start by showering and thoroughly exfoliating between 6 to 12 hours before your session. This step helps eliminate lingering self-tanner residues and sloughs off dead skin cells. For optimal exfoliation, we suggest using the blushtan® Exfoliating Mitt or opting for a dry brush. Those with particularly dry skin should apply a moisturizer that’s safe for sunless tanning afterward; the blushtan® Hydrating Moisturizer is highly recommended. Additionally, complete any shaving or other forms of hair removal at least 12 hours before your appointment to allow your skin to settle.
Shower and exfoliate 6-12 hours prior to your appointment to remove any old self-tanners, as well as all dry, dead skin. For best results, use the blushtan® Exfoliating Mitt or a dry brush. If you have more dry skin type, moisturize with a ‘sunless safe’ product- we recommend blushtan® Hydrating Moisturizer. You should shave and take care of any other hair removal at least 12 hours before your appointment. The day of your appointment- For best results, shower and remove all sweat, make-up, perfume, deodorant, and oils using a ‘sunless safe’ product, like our blushtan® Body Polish. If you are unable to obtain blushtan® ‘sunless-safe’ skincare products prior to your appointment, opt for simple drugstore brands like CeraVe and Cetaphil. However, please always avoid products with acne-fighting ingredients, as well as all products from brands like Dove, Aveeno, Vaseline and Olay.
No, of course not! With our solutions, you can expect natural, conservative results. Our consultants can mix over 100 colors with our vegan, organic-based solutions, none of which are orange!
The results will last 5-7 days (potentially longer due to the hydrating ingredients!) when you moisturize your skin and avoid products with harsh chemicals, exfoliants, and bleaching agents. To get the most out of your tan, ask about our line of organic and natural products that are specifically designed for sunless tanning. Using these recommended products will not only provide longer lasting results, but also more natural and even fading.
Unfortunately, no, sunburns and spray tans absolutely do not get along! If you have a recent sunburn, we do not recommend getting a spray tan until your skin has completely healed and all peeling has completely subsided. For best results, wait five days after your skin has healed before coming in for your next spray tan. When your skin gets burned by UV light, it can damage several layers of your epidermis, and your body then sheds those damaged skin cells. This causes peeling skin and uneven texture, and getting a spray tan with your skin in this condition will only provide patchy, uneven results. We know this probably isn’t what you want to hear, especially if you were hoping a spray tan could even out your skin tone post-peel, but please trust us when we say that a spray tan will only make things look worse in this scenario!
Feel free to undress to your comfort level during your session; you decide what stays on and what comes off. Any clothing you wear, such as undergarments or a bathing suit, can be laundered once in a normal cycle to remove the tanning solution. We ask all male clients to bring something to cover their private areas—thongs are fine, but socks are not recommended. After the application, we suggest wearing loose, dark clothing and flip-flop type footwear for the best results.
