๐จ Spray Tan Truth
That deep bronzer you see immediately after a spray tan?
Thatโs not your actual tan. โ๏ธ
Itโs a temporary guide colour made with cosmetic dyes such as:
โข CI 16035 (Red 40)
โข CI 19140 (Yellow 5)
โข CI 42090 (Blue 1)
โข CI 60725 (Violet 2)
These dyes help your technician see exactly where the solution has been applied โ and after your first shower, they rinse away.
After your first showerโฆ
๐ They rinse off.
The Problem
Many companies focus on adding more dyes to make the bronzer look darker.
But darker bronzer doesnโt mean a better tan.
It can actually:
โข Transfer onto clothes and sheets
โข Mislead clients about how dark the tan will be
โข Wash away leaving a completely different color
โ๏ธ WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS?
DHA.
DHA is the active ingredient responsible for developing your actual tan โ not the temporary bronzer you see when you leave your appointment.
โจ WHAT SETS TAN ON THE RUN APART?
At Tan on the Run, we donโt chase that instant, artificially dark appearance.
We focus on a professional, natural-looking result using carefully formulated solutions, quality DHA and expert application tailored to your skin tone and desired depth.
Our goal?
A beautiful tan that developsโnot just a dark colour that washes off. ๐ค
Because at the end of the dayโฆ
Dyes create the guide.
DHA creates the tan.
Expert application creates the difference.๐ซ
