Spray Tanning
Before Your Tan
- Any hair removal treatments such as shaving or waxing should be performed the day before your appointment.
- It is recommended that you exfoliate your skin with Tuscan Tan™ Exfoliating Sugar Scrub. Do not use any other brand of exfoliant as they may contain oils or other ingredients which may adversely effect the end tanning result.
- After exfoliating, it is recommended that you wash using Tuscan Tan™ pH Balanced Skin Wash to restore the pH balance of your skin to normal levels. This will ensure the colour of your tan develops and maintains as it should.
- After showering, do not apply any products to your skin such as moisturiser, deodorant, perfume or make-up.
- Bring with you to your appointment; a brief dark coloured bathing suit or underwear to wear during your appointment. Alternatively, most salons offer disposable underwear.
- Bring with you to your appointment loose clothing together with thongs to wear afterwards.

Tuscan tan Spray Tanning - How Does It Work?
Tuscan Tan Original™
Tuscan Tan spray on tan solution mimics naturally tanned skin tones with 100% accuracy as it contains Violet-Tone Complex ™ - Exclusive to Tuscan Tan.
Violet-Tone Complex™ consists of six colourants formulated to counteract the yellow / orange undertones commonly seen in alternative DHA based spray tan brands. This unique combination of violet based colourants produce an instant natural tan shade when sprayed on the skin, and further creates a natural protective layer which is non-sticky, smudge proof and water resistant.
The solution adapts to any skin type as it picks up and adopts the skin's individual darker tones, whilst deepening the colour of it's lighter variations to produce the most authentic looking tan in any shade desired, from lightly sun-kissed through to the darkest of tans. Better still, the spray on tan dries instantly on application, is completely odourless once developed, and lasts up to ten days before gradually and evenly fading.
Tuscan Tan Rapid Amino 90™
Tuscan Tan spray on tan solution is also available with a rapid development time of just 90 minutes as it contains
Rapid-Amino Complex™- Exclusive to Tuscan Tan.
Rapid-Amino Complex™ is composed of five penetration enhancers selected at levels to allow optimal and rapid colour development of the active tanning ingredients after just 90 minutes. Derived from fruits, sugars and flowers, this optimised blend of active tanning ingredients react naturally with the amino acids on the outer layer of the skin enabling the colour accelerators to deliver the highest degree of active colour development in the shortest amount of time.
