Product questions

  • Tinted. is renowned for its bespoke spray tans, where artistry meets skin science. We believe in crafting a tan as unique as you are. Just as with makeup and skincare, we meticulously select ingredients and tailor each application to your specific needs. Every session begins with a detailed consultation, allowing us to understand your vision and skin type, resulting in a perfectly natural, never-orange glow that complements your individual beauty.

  • Experience our skin-nourishing spray tans, enriched with deep hydration and restorative ingredients, for a lasting glow of 7-10+ days. To extend your radiant results even further, invest in our specialized aftercare products – they're essential for maintaining your flawless tan.

  • A Tinted. spray tan is formulated for minimal transfer, though some rub-off may occur before your first shower. It's washable, but we advise against wearing your most precious garments until after your initial rinse. For example, your Chanel tweed suit? Best to leave it at home for now.

  • Orange is simply not in our palette. Tinted. specializes in bespoke spray tans, expertly blended to complement your skin tone and achieve your ideal beachy bronze, every time.

  • Absolutely! Tinted. prioritizes skin health with our exclusive, water-based spray tan solutions. Crafted from carefully selected plant-based ingredients, our tans nourish and protect, even for sensitive skin. We also offer bronzer-free options for those with ultra-sensitive skin. Clients with conditions like eczema or psoriasis can still enjoy a beautiful tan, provided there are no active flare-ups.

    We recommend applying your preferred lotion to any affected areas a few hours before your session and bringing it with you.

  • Need a tan in a hurry? Express tans let you rinse in just 2-5 hours, thanks to a higher DHA concentration. Prefer a longer-lasting glow? Gradual tans require 8-12 hours before rinsing but offer extended wear. Your Tinted. artist can help you choose the perfect tan for your lifestyle.

  • Gently rinse your spray tan at your scheduled time using lukewarm water for up to 60 seconds. Use your hands to lightly remove the bronzer, and skip the soap for your first rinse. Ensure the water runs clear before exiting the shower. Please wait 24 hours before applying any lotions or oils to your skin.

  • Prepare your skin for the perfect tan! Exfoliate thoroughly the day before your appointment (8+ hours prior). For an even more radiant and long-lasting glow, indulge in extra exfoliation, hydration, and water intake in the days leading up to your session.

    Complete any hair removal at least 24 hours in advance. Arrive with clean, product-free skin – no deodorant or makeup necessary!

  • Please wear loose, dark clothing to your spray tan appointment. A comfortable, baggy black sweatsuit is ideal.

  • Maximize your vacation tan by getting sprayed the day before your departure. For events and weddings, the sweet spot is 1-3 days prior, with two days providing the best results. Don't forget to factor in the 2-12 hour development time before your first shower.

  • We understand the importance of safety during pregnancy. Our spray tan solutions are formulated to be pregnancy-friendly. However, we advise consulting your doctor before your appointment, as every pregnancy is different.

  • To prolong your Tinted. glow, minimize water exposure and heavy perspiration. Opt for quick, lukewarm showers and use only spray tan-friendly products. Our pro tip: invest in ultra-gentle, fragrance-free, and alcohol-free soaps and lotions designed for spray tans.

  • Proper aftercare products are crucial for maintaining your Tinted. spray tan. Choose alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and gentle formulations (nothing too oil based) to preserve your results. While brands like Dove and Olay may compromise your tan, drugstore options such as Cetaphil and CeraVe are excellent choices.

  • For optimal results, avoid swimming and intense workouts for 24 hours after your spray tan. Heavy sweating and water exposure can accelerate fading. If you're eager to exercise, consider light strength training like Pilates instead of high-intensity cardio.

  • Waxing is not recommended after a Tinteed. spray tan, as it can remove the tanned skin cells. If waxing is part of your routine, please do so at least 24 hours before your appointment. Shaving post-tan can also accelerate fading, so we advise waiting at least 24 hours after your spray tan before shaving. Proper timing is crucial for maintaining your tan's longevity.

  • For your bridal glow, schedule your spray tan 1-3 days before the wedding, with two days prior being ideal. To ensure a flawless match, and because our tans are 100% custom, a trial is absolutely essential.

  • Yes, we love pampering bridal parties! For groups of four or more, we offer special packages designed for your convenience. Simply email tintedtans.det@gmail.com to inquire.

  • We prioritize both skin health and ethical practices. MIX custom spray tan solutions are water-based, designed to be ultra-gentle, and are always vegan.
