Natural and beautiful spray tan

A spray tan is the perfect solution to give your skin a beautiful glow before a wedding or other celebration or holiday trip – or whenever you want your skin to glow.

Spray tan is always done individually for each client.

Two different colour shades are available, which can be combined and layered as required. One is warmer and lighter and the other is colder and darker.

We can control the darkness of the tan by the number of layers. Just tell us what you want as precisely as possible.

Remember that just like tanning in the sun, the final result of a spray tan is influenced by the skin’s sensitivity to tanning, the pH of the skin and the skin type. So don’t compare your tan to others. Everyone’s tan is always individual.

Please also note that not everyone’s skin may absorb the amount of colouring required for a dark tan well, and unabsorbed colour may wash off in the shower.

Spray tan is given with a specially designed device to each client individually.

Before you start your spray tan, we will provide you with disposable thongs and a disposable cap to protect your hair.

In a tanning session, our professional sprays a fine-particle tanning extract onto your skin with a specially designed device.

In the case of a full body tan, we always tan the face as well.

Did you know this about skin cancer?

Melanoma is now about five times more common than it was in the early 1950s. There are no known reasons for this increase other than changes in the way people dress and sunbathe.

Well, what about this UV radiation?

UV radiation causes the formation of a pigment called melanin in the skin’s pigment cells. This is the skin’s way of protecting itself from radiation damage, so tanning is a sign of excessive UV exposure – not health. Years of exposure to the sun and tanning beds cause connective tissue damage to the skin, known as photoelastosis. It manifests itself as thickening of the skin, furrows and loss of elasticity – skin ageing.

Exfoliate your skin with an exfoliator the night before. Do not use an oil-based exfoliator. Oils can prevent the tanning lotion from absorbing into the skin.
Moisturise your skin well the night before.
Do not moisturise your skin for at least 4 hours before tanning. Moisturisers can prevent the tanning product from absorbing into the skin.
Do any hair removal the day before, shin hair, bikini line and underarms (at least 6 h) before tanning. Waxing / sugaring should be done at least 12 h before.
Remove make-up, perfume and deodorant before treatment with an oil-free cleanser for the best possible tan.
Dress in dark, loose clothes. The tanning agent will come off in most parts of the clothes, but the cosmetic dye can in some cases cause the final discolouration of the color in the garment. Do not wear wool, nylon or silk clothing after tanning for at least 8 hours, as the tanning agent may react with these materials and stain them.

Avoid showering, swimming, sauna and other sweating for about 10 hours.
Avoid unnecessary touching/rubbing of the skin during the tanning process.
After showering, pat your skin dry with a towel, do not “wipe or rub”. This will keep your tan beautifully even longer.
We recommend that you use a self-tanning cream/spray/foam on your skin after a spray tan. This way you can prolong the duration of your tan.
Moisturising your skin with a moisturiser alone will prolong the life of your tan.
Exfoliate your skin between each tanning session to ensure that your tan is always as even as possible.

Frequently asked questions about spray tanning

The tanning solution is coloured, so the tanning agent appears as a beautiful tan on the surface of the skin immediately. The actual tanning colour starts to develop on the skin in 1-2 hours and “finishes” after about 8 hours.

The spray tan lasts on the skin for about 5-7 days. For people who do a lot of exercise (sweating, showering), the tan can start to fade after 3-4 days. In this case, we recommend buying a home care product to help you maintain your tan at home for longer.

One option is self-tanning creams. In our online shop you’ll find lovely Nordic Tan products designed for Nordic skin tone.

If you don’t want to use self-tanning products, moisturising your skin every day can help to maintain colour. Choose a lightly moisturising cream instead of a thicker cream, as applying too heavy a cream can strip the tanning colour from the skin’s surface.

Yes, the spray tan wears off the skin evenly. However, on damaged or very dry skin, the tan may wear off a little more unevenly.

We can control the darkness of the tan by the number of layers of dye. For a lighter finish, we apply one layer, for a darker finish we apply two. So if you want a particularly dark tan, you can do it. But if you want a slightly more subtle colour, you can do it just as well. Just tell us what you want as precisely as possible.

The active ingredient in spray tanning is DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which is derived from vegetables such as sugar beet and sugar cane.

DHA is a cosmetic ingredient that gives the skin a tan without the sun’s UV rays. It tints the outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum, and is based on a safe chemical reaction.

When the ingredients react with the skin’s amino acids and proteins, the result is beautiful, tanned-looking skin. The spray tan is performed on a specially designed machine for each individual client.

A spray tan involves tanning the entire body and face with one or up to two coats of tanning lotion. If you want an even deeper tan, you will be charged 1.5 times the price for the third layer and twice the price for the fourth layer.

Spray tanning is suitable for everyone, including those with sensitive skin.

Of course! With a spray tan, you can get a beautiful tan even if you don’t normally tan much at all.

There is no reason why you shouldn’t take a shower if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

However, we remind you that taking any treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding is always the client’s decision and therefore the client’s responsibility.

Please also note that you should avoid touching and rubbing your skin for a few hours after the spray tan, which can make breastfeeding more difficult.

If – and of course when – you want to look your best for your “the moment”, we recommend getting a tan the day before the event.

The result is usually best after the first shower. Remember to pat your skin dry, not scrub.

It is possible to wear your own underwear, but they will get dirty from the tanning solution. Even if the substance comes off in the wash, we don’t recommend getting your own underwear dirty unnecessarily. That is why we offer all our clients disposable thongs for the duration of the tanning session.

A spray tan is a perfectly safe way to get a beautiful, even tan. Spray tanning is based on the solution that is sprayed onto the skin, rather than UV radiation like sunlight or tanning beds.

Fenix spray tanners have a 48-hour guarantee from the time of service. If there is any fault in the service, this will be immediately apparent after the first wash.

If you notice any discrepancies in the final result, please contact our customer service directly within 48 hours by email: palaute@fenixkauneus.fi. Please include a photo of the error you have found.

We do not guarantee the service if there is old tan on the base of the spray tan.

The shades we use do not fade to orange, but are a natural brown.

No and no. Spray tanning won’t prevent you from getting a tan. (And to keep your skin healthy, we don’t recommend sunbathing.)

It also does not contain UV protection and therefore does not protect the skin from the sun. We always recommend the use of sunscreen. The use of sunscreen has no effect on the duration of the spray tan.

No. For example, among the highschool formal dances, spray tans are very popular.

Broken skin, wounds and skin infections are a barrier to spray tanning, as are product allergies to tanning products.

No. Wait 12 hours after sugaring to allow the pores to close before applying the spray tan.
