FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will my complexion look orange?
NO! Giving our clients natural-looking skin complexions is our primary concern! Our solutions have been carefully designed to give you that perfect-looking glow. NUDA specialists are trained to choose the ideal intensity for your skin. Rest assured, you will never look orange!
How long do results last?
On average, spray tan results last about 10 days. However, the longevity depends on several factors, which include lifestyle habits, daily activities, and skin routines. Sweating excessively while sleeping or spending time in jacuzzis or saunas, taking long baths or showers on a daily basis, participating in activities that may cause excessive sweating (ex: spinning), exfoliation, hair removal, or even a lack of skin hydration may cause the product to fade away faster. Follow the maintenance tips and instructions given to you by your NUDA specialist to maximize your results.
What products should I avoid before the session?
We recommend that you not use depilatory creams, oil-based scrubs or moisturizers on the day of the session. These products could leave residue on your skin and prevent you from achieving an optimal result. You should not wear any makeup, deodorant, cream or perfume during your session. Your skin should be clean and dry.
Is spray tanning safe for pregnant women?
DHA acts only on the top layer of the skin. NUDA blends are non-toxic and there is no evidence that demonstrates the harmfulness of DHA. However, each pregnancy is different and we strongly recommend consulting your doctor before making an appointment.
Do tanning solutions protect my skin from UV rays?
No, NUDA’s tinted mists do not contain any UV-protective agents. Our solutions do not protect skin from being sunburned and your skin can still tan. You should always apply sunscreen prior to exposing your skin to the sun.
What clothes should I wear for the session?
While the product is being applied to your skin, you may wear a swimsuit or underwear and bra. We strongly advise that you bring dark-colored, loose-fitting clothes that you can change into at the end of your session. We also recommend that you avoid wearing a bra, stockings or any other tight garments immediately after your session.
Can the solution stain my clothing?
Most spray tanning solutions, including NUDA solutions, contain accelerators (bronzers), which provide customers with immediate results. These accelerators are temporary and disappear after the first shower. They can sometimes leave marks on clothing or sheets. The solution is water-soluble and can easily be removed from most fabrics. However, keep in mind that accelerators can stain silk and leather permanently. The solution will not stain your clothes after your first shower, unless you use abundant oil-based products that could pull the solution from your skin (for example, during a massage).
How can I protect my nails during the application?
Wearing nail polish actually protects your nails from the solution. However, your NUDA specialist will always apply barrier cream to your nails, to protect them from the solution and prevent them from getting stained by it as well. Therefore, it is safe to get a manicure or pedicure right before a spray tan appointment!
How long should I wait before taking my first shower?
It is recommended to avoid contact with any liquids for at least 8 to 12 hours following the application. Premature exposure to fluids may prevent the NUDA solution from working its magic. We also carry an “Express” solution which allows you to shower 2-4 hours following the application. The “Express” is $5 additional.
As I took my first shower, it looked as though the solution was dripping off my skin. Why?
NUDA solutions contain accelerators (bronzers) that give you an instant glow, while the remainder of the solution seeps into your skin gradually. These accelerators are temporary and will disappear as you take your first shower following the spray tan session.
Can I use a moisturizer or hydrating lotion after my spray tan session?
Hydrating your skin is the key to maintaining your spray tan. Our solution contains moisturizing agents that will keep your skin hydrated until your first shower. After your first shower, you should apply a hydrating lotion every day to maximize the solution’s longevity. Be sure to use a lotion that does not contain mineral oils and / or petroleum, as these ingredients can cause the solution to fade away prematurely.
When I’m travelling, is there anything that I can or should do to maximize spray tan results?
We recommend that you avoid jacuzzis and opt for the pool instead. We also recommend applying a water-resistant sunscreen spray. When drying off, use your towel to gently sponge the water off your skin and be sure to apply a suitable moisturizer before going to bed.
When is it recommended to shower, shave or wax?
Shower, shave, and exfoliate your skin at least 3 hours before your appointment. It’s important to give the amino acids the time required to rebuild themselves before applying the tanning solution. We recommend waxing at LEAST a FULL 24 hours before your appointment. We do not recommend shaving too close to your appointment as sometimes our pores may stay a little open and accumulate solution. If you forget to shave before your tan, it’s best to opt to shave after your first shower- to guarantee that your pores are nicely closed.
How can I best prepare my skin for an optimal spray tan experience?
The secret to achieving a perfect SPRAY TAN has everything to do with preparing the skin before a session and maintaining the tan after the session.
We recommend exfoliating your skin at least 3 different times on different occasions before your appointment. The use of a simple exfoliating soap is insufficient. We strongly advise the use of an exfoliating glove and a good scrub. ( We sell some at the studio!) A good exfoliation will allow you to remove all the dead cells from your skin. NUDA products have been designed to disappear gradually and evenly, when your skin is free of dead cells.
Do not wear a bra, socks, or tight-fitting clothes immediately after the session to ensure that the solution dries evenly.
