What Does Healthy Glow Do?

Healthy Glow is the ultimate way of achieving a natural looking, instant tan. Our ingredients moisturize and soften the skin while giving you a beautiful glow. An additional tanning ingredient called Erythrulose allows Healthy Glow to adjust itself to each person's skin tone, achieving the perfect tan for every body!

How Does Healthy Glow Work?

Healthy Glow's instant tan is achieved by a special blend of F.D.A. approved cosmetic colors. Healthy Glow is fortified with vitamins and moisturizers which take the "tan" down through the top skin layers, just like a real tan! The full effect is achieved in about 24 hours, but the beautiful tan color is instant. You can shower after 6-8 hours. Healthy Glow has nearly zero drying time, any tackiness afterward is due to the moisturizers it contains.

How Long Does It Last?

Safe Tan fades just like a real tan. As the skin is sloughed off it fades and each paint should last between five and eight days. It is safe, easy, long-lasting and economical to use.

What Are The Benefits Of A Healthy Glow Tan?

Healthy is loaded with skin goodies such as White Tea, Green Tea, and Aloe which rehydrates the skin's layers and fills out fine lines and creases. You can even get away with not wearing foundation in the summer!

Does Healthy Glow contain sunscreens?

NO! But you may wear sunscreens after 24 hours of applying your Healthy Glow Sunless Tanning Product. Having a sunless tan does not interfere with regular sunbathing. However, YOU MUST WEAR A SUNCREEN! A sunless tan of any type offers zero sun protection to your skin. Don't let the great color fool you! Your skin is only protected if you apply an additional sunscreen while in the sun.

How long will my Healthy Glow Sunless Tan last?

Most clients get 1-2 weeks of tan on their body and 2-3 days of tan on their face. This is because we wach our face once or twice a day and women use products that contain AHA's and other ingredients that "refresh" the skin by removing the very top layer. Any product that "revitalizes", "refreshes", or "reduces fine lines" will also reduce your sunless tan.

How is Healthy Glow different from other sunless tanners?

Healthy Glow Airbrush Tan Solution is fortified with Aloe, Green and White tea extract, anti-oxidants and natural skin softeners. We believe a beautiful tan looks best on healthy, nourished skin. You'll look tan and feel refreshed! Healthy Glow Sunless Airbrush Tan Solution dries instantly and is never sticky. Say goodbye to fans and blow dryers! Your skin's appearance will be improved. Healthy Glow has a natural color that is never orange. Healthy Glow Sunless Tanner is already a deep brown color in the bottle. The same instant color is applied to your skin. You'll get the instant gratification of a gorgeous, tanned body! Unlike other sunless tanners, Healthy Glow tans and moisturizes deep into all the top layers of your skin, not just on the top layer. Healthy Glow Sunless Tan does not spot or streak. You'll have a beautiful, dark tan that will fade naturally!

Can I make my Healthy Glow Sunless Tan darker?

Yes! You can do this in three ways. The first way is to purchase Healthy Glow Ultra 10, which contains 10% DHA rather than 8% DHA in the original Healthy Glow formula. The second way is to purchase a bottle of Xtreme Bronze Drops. By adding these concentrated tanning drops to a bottle of Healthy Glow, you can dramatically increase the darkness of your tan. We recommend one dropper of Xtreme Bronze Drops to every 2-4 ounces of Healthy Glow Sunless Tanner. A third way is to tan a second time after your first tan has developed for 24 hours and you have already showered off the Healthy Glow cosmetic color guide (your instant tan color that washes off in the shower). Your true sunless tan will be revelaed underneath that color guide cosmetic color. Then, if you want to go darker, put on another coat and repeat the process. But we recommend waiting a full 24 hours from the inital application to allow the DHA to fully develop on your skin. You may be surprised at how dark you actually become with only one application!

How often can I spray, airbrsuh, or paint on a sunless tan?

You can apply Healthy Glow Sunless Tan once every 24 hours. We do not recommend doing this more than 2 days in a row. You will not harm your skin if you choose to do it more often, but you will risk becoming "too dark" or fake looking.

Can I sunless tan more than once a day?

We do not recommend sunless tanning more than once every 24 hours for up to 2 days.

Will Healthy Glow Sunless Tan stain my clothes?

No - it will come out of most fabrics and fabric blends. If you see a color tint remaining, try a stain remover like Spray 'n Wash or Oxy Clean. However, it is well advised not to wear silk, wool, (or any fabric type that cannot be laundered at home) immediately after sunless tanning. 6-8 hours later, after you have showered off the color guide tan, feel free to wear any fabric you wish. It also will not stain your natural nails. If you have acrylic nails in a french tip, you may put lotion on your cuticles and across the nail while spraying to prevent yellowing of the acrylic.

After my sunless tan, when can I get dressed?

As soon as you feel dry, which should be within 5 minutes.

Can I use lotions, perfumes, or anti-aging creams with my Healthy Glow Sunless Tan?

We have a list of usable and non-usable lotions and soaps on our "how to" page. Click here to visit that page now.

Is Healthy Glow Sunless Tan safe for pregnant women?

Absolutely! After the first trimester, your doctor should give you the green light to sunless tan. Be sure and advise your doctor if you intend to be spray tanned. We recommend that all spray tanners put a little but of cotton in each nostril to prevent inhaling the mist. Also it is very important to always spray tan in a well ventilated room. It's also a great cover up for skin discolorations such as stretch marks and pregnancy spots! You can be a hot mama!

How do your spray or paint knees, elbows, hands, feet, etc?

These problem areas have thicker skin than, say, your thighs. So you have to tread lightly with your tanner to prevent the "dirty" look. If you are spraying, try to allow the mist in the air to settle on the tops of your feet rather than spraying them directly. Usually, that will provide plenty of color for the thick skin on the tops of feet. You may think, "but my feet are pedicured and soft," but the skin is still thicker there than other body parts. If you are "painting" on your tan, use the dryer side of the brush with very little Healthy Glow Sunless Tanner on it. Go over thicker skinned areas with a light touch (elbows, knees, heels, tops of feet, hands, insides of wrists, back of the neck, between the breasts, belly button, tops of fingers and toes). Remember, in these areas, LESS IS MORE. Going lighter is easier to fix than applying it too dark the first time.

What is the shelf life of sunless tanners?

The shelf life of activated DHA sunless tanner in a liquid form is 6-9 months. This is true for ALL sunless tanning products. We are not a "middle man" and always have fresh product on hand. Be wary of "middle man" sunless tan product dealers who may have had solution in stock for a while. After 6-9 months the product will turn green in the bottle and will also turn YOU green! So be careful. Although, sometimes you will see a little green around the top of the ring of your bottle under the lid. This is just oxidation from the liquid being exposed to air. It does not necessarily mean your solution is old. If you pour some solution in your airbrush bottle or onto a paintbrush and it has a green color, toss it! Time to reorder! Other conditions can cause you to ruin your sunless tan solution. Always store it in a cool, dry, preferrably dark place. If you are travelling in the summer, put it in a cooler. Don't even carry it to your girlfriends house and run in the store for a few minutes and leave it in the car during the summer. It only has to get hot once to ruin. It might not turn you green, but it won't tan you either! You'll get your instant tan and then when you wash off - nothing. Protect your investment!

Is it safe to use sunless tanner on my face?

Yes, spraying a tan on your face is perfectly fine. Try to hold your breath and do it as quickly as possible. Don't forget to put some cotton inyour nostrils to prevent breathing it in. It will not hurt you, but you will have brown in your nose! You can also paint your face but it is a little trickier. But if you can master make up foundation, you will have no problem. Apply very little sunless tanner, just a drop or so, to the brush and apply first to the cheeks, chin, nose and forehead. Flip the brush to the dry side and blend it all in. The sunless tan will not show on any areas with hair (hair line, eyebrows, pubic area, or beard). Be very careful on eyelids. Go over them LIGHTLY with the dry side of the brush.

What about shaving?

You should shave 6 hours prior to any sunless tanning. This prevents any reaction or tingling due to newly exfoliated (shaved) skin. Obviuosly, yoyu can shave while you are tanned. The best way to keep your color is to follow up with our Xtend Tan moisturizer. Not only does it smell delicious but it is chock full of goodies for your skin and anti-oxidants, plus a little Healthy Glow Sunless Tanner to keep your tan going strong and smooth!

What if I have sensitive skin, stretch marks, Rosacea, etc.?

Healthy Glow Sunless Tanner is safe for all skin types. It's also a great cover up for skin discolorations such as stretch marks, pregnancy spots, etc.

Ok, I've tanned, I've rinsed, and I have dirty knees and ankles! HELP!

First, try to buff these areas with a terry cloth dry towel or wach cloth to blend the tan. You can also try doing this after applying some lotion. If that doesn't do the trick entirely, try a wet terry cloth towel or wash cloth.

What is Airbrush Tanning?

Airbrush tanning is the newest phase in application of self-tanning products. Today's tanners are very natural looking and are completely harmless. Just like a natural suntan, the results are temporary, because the outer layer of skin is continuously "sloughing" off. The tanner is applied with a low-pressure airbrush gun, which gives a more even coverage than creams.

You can get a sunless tan even if you can't get a real tan. In the 1970s, the FDA added DHA to its list of safe cosmetic ingredients.

You can airbrush tan on specific areas - face, legs, etc.
