Professional Sunless Airbrush Tanning:
Beautiful Tanned Skin without the Damage
- Safe and Practical Alternative to Tanning
- Even Application by a Trained Professional
- Customized Color Depending on Skin Color
You may leave the beach with a beautiful tan but that is not all you are leaving with. You don’t have to expose yourself to the sun’s harmful UV rays to have a beautiful sun-kissed glow. UV exposure is responsible for sun damage that is associated with lines, wrinkles, brown spots, and aging. Much of the damage is merely superficial while some effects are more serious, take skin cancer for example. Many people have the impression that tanning beds are a safe alternative but they also give off damaging UV rays. UVA rays cause a higher risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Having a professional airbrush tan is the safest alternative. Your airbrushed color is custom-applied to the whole body, giving an even, natural and healthy glow.
Women who used tanning beds once a month in their twenties, had an increased rate of 158% of melanoma skin cancer, compared to those who had not.

How does Professional Airbrush Tanning work?
Exfoliate before each session to remove dry, flaky skin. This will help the tanning solution adhere to the skin for better results. Come in wearing dark, loose-fitting clothing (tight clothing could rub off or smear the bronzers), to your appointment. The tanning procedure takes about 15 -20 minutes per application. Disposable panties are available upon request or a bathing suit could be worn during the procedure if desired. Since you are being sprayed by a professional versus a machine you are assured a coverage that is complete and uniform. The Spa at Willow Bend’s special tanning blend is customized lighter or darker depending on your skin color. After the treatment wait at least 6 hours before showering or working out. Avoid using bar soaps or high pH products-they will strip and fade your tan rapidly. After showering, gently “pat-dry” the skin. Proper cleansing and drying ensures even fading and the longest lasting, most natural looking sunless results.
Is Professional Airbrush Tanning Safe?
Yes, sunless tanning products are generally regarded as a safe solution to sunbathing. The FDA considers DHA as a safe ingredient to use when applied to the skin.
Tips for the Best Tan:
- Polish your skin before the procedure with FarmHouse Fresh Fine Body Scrub or for even better results add a Professional Body Scrub Treatment to remove excess dead skin cells.
- Keep skin moisturized with a good body lotion like Skin Medica TNS Body Lotion to keep skin hydrated and looking supple.
- Use our Fake Bake Self-Tanning Airbrush Spray at home to keep your tan fresh in-between treatments.
- Even with a sun-kissed glow from the Sunless Airbrush Tan application a broad-spectrum sun screen should always be applied anytime you are going out doors. To protect your skin use Obagi Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35. Be sure to reapply every 2 hours.
Sunless Airbrush Tanning is a great way to have radiant beach-bronzed skin without the sun damage. For more information please contact the Spa at Willow Bend and speak to one of our trained specialists about the procedure.
