Extend your summer with airbrush tanning

Michigan summer barely got here and now it is quickly fading...and so is your tan! Cling to your color longer with an airbrush tan. This is a beautiful, safe way to get lasting color as well as extending your summer look or looking fresh and vibrant for a special occassion. Unlike the older methods of spray tanning, the new system of airbrush tanning will not give you the "orangey" hue, take all day to develop or fad unevenly, and, you color will last anywhere from 5-7 days.

Josh Dupey and Liz Siebert, owners and operators of Tropical Mist Tan, located at 2919 Breton Rd in Grand Rapids, MI, understand the need for a good quality, safe tanning alternative. Now touted at the local experts in airbrush tanning, Josh and Liz, guarantee nothing but beautiful results since they are able to customize color and application for each individual client. They are very excited about the quality of tanning that they have to offer. There is no streaking, and no little "droplet" spots unlike the machines of yesterday. True bronze-y development comes from the active ingredient DHA, a natural sugar derivitive. FDA approved, DHA is the same ingredient found in mass marketed self tanners, thus the reason why it doesn't turn orange. To enhance true color, chestnut extract is also a key player.

 

Tips before getting an airbrush tan:

1.Gently exfoliate the night before.
2.Do not wax any sooner than 24 hours before tanning and do not shave any sooner than 8 hours before or directly after. When shaving, use a shave gel, cream or lotion product.
3.Do not where makeup or moisturizer before tanning.
4.Wear dark, loose fitting undergarments and clothing in case of incidental transfer of product. Tanning product will generally wash out of most fabrics.
