Custom Spray Tan
THE NEW VERSAPRO
How to use
- Manicure + Pedicure + Waxing + Hair Dying to be completed at least one day prior to your spray tan.
- Do NOT shave 24 hours prior to your spray tan
- SHOWER & EXFOLIATE at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, with a pH balancing scrub such as Norvell® Renewing Sunless Exfoliator. Clear away any dry, dead skin cells to ensure the spray tan applies evenly. Focus on exfoliating areas such as knees, elbows and ankles
- Protect Your Skins’ pH Levels – Avoid using bar soaps, high ph shower products, or in shower moisturizers. These products can neutralize the DHA bronzing reaction within the skin.
Avoid applying anything to the skin that may act as a barrier between the sunless solution and the skin. Deep penetration of the solution is key to beautiful lasting color
NO:
- Lotion/Creams/Oils
- Perfumes
- Deodorant -Use sparingly if needed
- Remove any makeup prior to the sunless application
- Remove jewelry.
- Wear undergarments to protect sensitive areas
- Apply Barrier Cream (provided)
HOW TO APPLY BARRIER CREAM:
- Hands/Palms – in between fingers and knuckles
- Nails/Cuticles
- Feet/Back of Ankles – in between toes
- Knees
- Elbows
- Wear dark, loose clothing and avoid underwire bras to go home in.
- Wear open shoes, such as flip flops or sandals
- Do NOT sweat – don’t exercise until after your first rinse
- Avoid getting skin wet; rain, washing dishes, giving kids a bath.
- Wait to rinse the required amount of time-based on the solution you were sprayed with *1-3 hours if Rapid Solution *12-24 hour if Venetian Bronzer Solution.
- Rinse with cool/lukewarm water – not steaming hot shower, rinse until the water runs clear.
- NO SOAPS during initial rinse, the use of soap can inhibit the full development of DHA color. Important: Cosmetic instant bronzers will wash away during the first shower.
- PAT dry gently with a towel
- After your first rinse, moisturize with a tan extender 2-3 times a day!
- Hydrated skin will maintain your GLOWING tan!
- When showering after 24-hours, use only a mild pH balancing shower gel such as ph Balancing Shower Cleanser’. Refrain from using scrubs or high ph soaps as these will strip away your sunless color. No loofahs or scrubbing.
- Use sulfate-free products
- Avoid shaving if possible – if you must shave use a fresh razor with no strip/moisturizing bar on it and don’t use shaving cream
- Avoid Pools/Spas that utilize chlorine – can cause fading.
- Extend and build color between sessions with a daily application of Color Extending Pro-Long™ moisturizer.
- Use Norvell Post Tan Face Lotion, 4-Faces™ or any other Norvell® self-tanning product between full sessions, available in store.

FAQS
LEARN MORE
How do sunless/ self-tanners work?
The principle tanning agent used in all self-tanning formulas is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This ingredient does not produce a “real tan” by increasing the skin’s melanin levels, rather it creates a tanned appearance by developing a brown color on the surface of the skin.
How long should I wait after using a self-tanner before I shower?
DHA solutions take about 16-hours to fully develop. Clients will receive the best results if they can avid bathing until the day after their sunless session. If they must bathe, they should wait a minimum of 6-hours after the application.
Why is keeping skin moisturized essential to maintain great sunless results?
It is important to keep skin moisturized after sunless tanning as dry, flaky skin will slough off faster and color will fade sooner. Your goal is to basically slow down your body’s natural exfoliation process.
Will I turn 'Orange'?
When used as recommended, Norvell’s professional and retail sunless tanning products are formulated to give a natural, just off the beach™ color, starting with our perfectly blended instant cosmetic bronzers that allow you to gently transition into your DHA tan over 24 hours after application.
Will sunless solution stain my hair?
Most people will not see any affect to the color of their hair; however, those with light blonde, gray or platinum hair may see some temporary discoloration from the cosmetic bronzers. This discoloration will easily wash out during the first after session shower.
How can I prevent patchy or uneven wear-off?
Many individual factors can contribute to patch or uneven wear-off, as each person’s skin is different. It is best to follow our Norvell Preparation and Maintenance Guide for maximum sunless results.
How long after tanning should I wait to enjoy a pool/spa/ocean?
We recommend avoiding these situations for the first 24-48 hours following your spray tan. Chlorinated pools & spas can increase the rate in which the skin exfoliates causing the tan to wear and fade rapidly.
Will a sunless tan protect me from exposure to UV sun rays?
No. It is common to get a false sense of security when you have been spray tanned. Your skin will still burn when overexposed.
Is a DHA spray tan safe for a diabetic person?
We have received no feedback from any medical authority that would indicate a risk to a diabetic person, however, as you would before using any product on a diabetic person, we recommend each customer consult their physician before receiving a DHA spray tan application.
I have very sensitive skin, should I be concerned with a possible reaction to Versapro® solutions?
If you are concerned with a possible allergic or skin reaction to the solution we recommend you first patch test a small area of the skin prior to a full body session.
How long will my sunless tan last?
The longevity of a sunless tan depends on the type of self-tanning application, the skin’s natural exfoliation process, and on the skincare regimen followed before and after application.
Will the bronzers from a spray tanning application rub-off on my clothes?
If you are using a spray solution with a cosmetic bronzer (water-soluble make-up), some of the bronze color may rub off on clothing or bed sheets. This is most likely to happen when you get dressed immediately after tanning.
What is DHA?
Dihydroxyacetone
What about the after-odor often associated with sunless tanning?
Versapro® professional sunless solutions and Versapro® retail self-tanning products use advanced DHA odor encapsulation, the newest technology in odor inhibitors, to ‘trap’ odor causing molecules commonly associated with DHA products and virtually eliminate sunless
How should I prepare for a sunless spray tan?
Preparation and maintenance of your sunless tan is the KEY to sunless success.
Make sure to read our online sunless preparation and maintenance guide prior to your sunless application.
Should I allow the skin to rest between spray sessions?
It is recommended that individuals not tan more than 3 times in a 2 week period, to avoid build-up of tanning solution that will contribute to uneven wear off.
How dark will my tan appear after one application?
Results will vary based on the individual’s skin type and pH balance. Norvell® solutions have been formulated to provide a color that will be appealing to the majority of sunless tanners, and a variety of shades will allow you to find the perfect solution for your individual needs.
Can pregnant women be safely sprayed?
Versapro® Sunless Spray Solutions are non-toxic, and utilize only Eco-Cert® DHA which has been vigorously tested and certified organic by the Group Eco-Cert®.
I have Vitiligo, will the solution cause a change in the affected areas?
Yes. Versapro® sunless solution does work on the affected areas, however, it is important to remember the skin that is lighter “tans” and the unaffected skin areas also tan, therefore they will remain different colors. While both areas do achieve a sunless tan, they will appear “two toned” when finished. Versapro® color is a blend of the natural skin color and the sunless color.
Will sunless solution cause additional freckling to already freckled skin?
No. However, the spray does not cover freckles up either. What is darker will stay darker and what is lighter, stays lighter in contrast.
