About the Treatment

Each year, the rate of skin cancer grows, due to harmful UV exposure. According to WebMD, about 50,000 new cases of melanoma skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States yearly as well. It is a wonder that people continue to bake themselves in the sun.

Luckily, there are alternatives to laying out in the sun, for those who want a nice tan. Here at Coastal Skin Center, we offer spray on tan solutions. We use a quick and precise technique for sunless tanning. Best of all, it is completely safe for you and your skin.

Self tanners have been an option for sunless tanning for a while now but they can be difficult to apply. Results can be orange and streaky and some products leave a lingering scent. The best way to get a natural looking, safe tan, is by visiting our specialists for a professional spray on tan treatment.

The treatment is delivered through an airbrush by a trained technician. One application takes about 15 minutes and it dries almost immediately. The bronzing benefits will develop over six to eight hours and the tan will last for a minimum of seven days. Clients are thrilled with how natural the tan looks and they don't have to worry about damaging their skin.

Frequently Asked Question

What is a MOON Tan™?

This is how it works: a solution custom blended for each client is sprayed on the body with an airbrush. The solution’s active ingredient is dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for over 30 years.

DHA is an all-natural derivative of sugar, which reacts to the amino acids in skin just like the sun.

Why is a spray tan better than a tanning bed?

Airbrush tanning offers a natural-looking tan, the women said. There is no chance of orange-colored skin, discolored knees, elbows, hands or nails or the uneven skin tones that can result from self-tanners.

  • Even streakless, dripless and odorless coverage applied by a professional
  • NO Orange! Customized intensity designed by trained technician.
  • Quick and healthful tanning, as opposed to dozens of daily tanning bed visits
  • Comparably priced to bed and booth tanning, and does not require costly accelerator or skin treatment lotions
  • Protects against harmful UV rays, skin aging and premature wrinkles
  • Monitored by trained professional

How long does it take?

The process takes 10 to 15 minutes, but your tan will develop within five to eight hours. However, clients still walk out glowing as the solution has a bronze color to give temporary color while the tan is developing.

Two sessions a few days apart are recommended to build a base tan, after which weekly visits are recommended.

Is there anything I need to know before coming in for my tan?

There is no going commando during treatments. Clients must at least wear a thong.

Exfoliate before the visit and shave and have any waxing done beforehand. Don’t wear lotion or foundation to the session as they will act as a barrier and keep the formula from developing.
