I don't want to look like an Oompa Loompa, or Trump 🍊

Ever wonder why some tans end up looking... orange?

Here's why

1. Overuse of DHA (Dihydroxyacetone): DHA is the active ingredient in most self-tanners and spray tans. When too much is used, it can result in a harsh, unnatural orange hue instead of a warm, golden glow.

   
   

2. Incorrect ph levels: The ph of your skin plays a big role in how a tan develops. If your skin is too acidic or too alkaline, it can affect how DHA reacts, often leading to an orange undertone instead of a more balanced, bronzed shade. Your pro spray tan artist will ask the right questions, and may suggest a primer is applied before your spray tan application.

   
   

3. Lack of customisation: Not all skin tones are the same, and using a one-size-fits-all formula can lead to mismatched results. For example, your spray tan colour should be selected by a professional ONLY after a thorough consultation about your skin, your complexion and your desired result.

1. Poor Application: Streaky or uneven application can make your tan appear patchy or orange in some areas. This is why it's important to go to professionals or use high-quality products that ensure an even, flawless finish.

1. Excessive Build-Up: If you don’t exfoliate properly before a spray tan or self-tan session, the buildup of dead skin cells can make your tan appear uneven, leading to darker patches that may take on an orange hue.
