FAQS AND OUR PRODUCTS
What solution do we use?

Norvell has introduced a flurry of leading edge, award winning products like Venetian which is the darkest solution we offer and Norvell dark which is medium solution.
What is DHA?
DHA is the main tanning ingredient used in all of Norvell's airbrush tanning solutions. DHA is dihydroxyacetone, a carbohydrate (monosaccharide sugar) compound approved by the FDA for use in externally applied sunless tanning solutions. DHA is usually derived from a vegetable source like beets or sugar cane. Its properties as a skin darkener were discovered in the 1920′s but weren’t marketed as such until the 1960′s when Coppertone® introduced Quick Tan®. It was added to the FDA’s list of approved cosmetic ingredients in the 1970′s.
Note: DHA has only been approved for external use by the FDA. The FDA recommends wearing protective eyewear, nose plugs, lip balm and undergarments during your spray tanning session to eliminate inhalation or ingestion. Wearing these during your spray tan session is not mandatory, and is up to your discretion. However our we have these on hand at all times, and they are complimentary during every spray tanning session. Please ask for complete details!
What should I wear during my tanning session?
You can wear undergarments, a bathing suit, or nothing. Your chosen attire should be whatever you are completely comfortable with. It is our goal to make you feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process.
NOTE: Use of bathing suit or undergarments during the professional application process may cause permanent staining of the material. If these options are used, we recommend using old, or dark colored materials.
NOTE: Minimal amounts of cosmetic bronzer (which is water soluble) may transfer to your clothes after you redress and should not permanently stain your clothing. We do suggest wearing darker, loose, materials the day of your professional custom airbrush session.
How long will my spray tan last?
You can expect your airbrush spray tan to last anywhere between 5-7 days, and possibly up to 10. The life of your Tan depends on how well the recommended skin care regime is followed; before, during, and after the professional application. Factors may also include each individuals skin type, and skin chemistry. Individual results may vary.
