Dolce Valley Policies and Release Form
Last updated 5/1/2024
* DHA is listed in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) as a color additive for use in imparting color to the human body. However, its use in cosmetics – including sunless “tanning” products – is restricted to external application. According to CFR, “externally applied” cosmetics are those “applied only to external parts of the body and not to the lips or any body surface covered by mucous membrane” (21 CFR 70.3v).
DHA reacts with the skin’s amino acids resulting in a “tan” similar in appearance to that of the sun. The darker you can tan naturally, the darker you can tan with a spray tan. Like most cosmetics, avoid exposure to the eyes, lips, and other parts of the body covered with a mucous membrane. This should be accomplished by following the staff’s breathing instructions as to avoid inhaling or ingesting the sunless product and by applying a barrier cream.
Wearing deodorants, lotions or makeup will act as a barrier to the tanning solution, causing an
uneven tan and or white spots so we ask that you not wear these before spray tanning. Completely exfoliating before applying and reapplying will enhance the results. Do not use any
oil-based products, alpha hydroxy acids, or mineral oils as they accelerate skin exfoliation.
Please refrain from any activities that will cause perspiration until after your first shower.
Your spray tan should last about 5-10 days depending on your skin type and how well you take
care of your sunless tan. It’s very important to keep your skin moisturized after your spray tan,
avoiding long baths, showers, and hot tubs. Salt water exposure or a chlorinated pool can also shorten the life of your spray tan.
Be advised there may be a small percentage of individuals whose skin does not react favorably to spray tanning. Some medications such as birth control pills, hormone replacement medications, or antibiotics may alter your tan. Please consult with your technician if you have any questions.
Following the spray tan session, please avoid: tight clothes, excessive perspiring, and leather seats. Follow the recommended rinse time your technician has specified for you. Some fabrics may be stained by the spray tanning solution, please use caution and care.
All ingredients in the products used in this procedure are intended for cosmetic use and are generally regarded as safe. There are, however, occasions where individuals may be allergic to one or more ingredients in the spray tan solution. If this occurs, shower and discontinue use. If severe reaction occurs, contact a physician. You may ask to see the ingredients prior to application.
Be advised we do NOT advise being sprayed for photographic sessions, modeling assignments,
weddings, etc. unless you have had a trial spray tan.
It is the client’s responsibility to inform the tanning technician of any allergies, relevant medical history, or prior adverse reactions to self-tanning products or moisturizers.
Exfoliating, Shaving, & Showering (24 hours before spray tan is recommended) waxing (3) days
before, Laser Hair Removal (2 weeks before) or 5 days after spray tan.
