NOW for the first time Mystic Tan is available in the UK at The Tanning Shop, as The Tanning Shop Spray Tan; a perfect extension to The Tanning Shop's extremely successful formula.

Spray Tanning


St. Tropez and California Tan

St. Tropez Spray Tan treatment gives you a fast, flawless tan in complete safety. The tan is applied and tailored by an expert beauty therapist. The spray tan application takes no more than 10 minutes, but allow yourself time to prepare and dress.

To ensure your tan is flawless and even, follow this simple guide:

Pre-Treatment: Its is preferable not to apply any type of perfume, deodorant, or aromatherapy oils on the day of your treatment as these reduce the results.Waxing or shaving should be completed at least 24 hours prior to the treatment to reduce sensitivity.The evening before your treatment, exfoliate your entire body using St. Tropez Body Polisher. Pay special attention to dry areas such as hands, elbows, knees, and feet.Wear dark, loose fitting clothing together with a dark colored bra, or preferably no bra at all. Please be aware that the color guide can stain light hair, man-made fibers, and wool.If you have sensitive skin or have not had a St. Tropez treatment before, we recommend that you have a patch test prior to your treatment.

The Treatment: The treatment takes up to 10 minutes to cover the whole body. The solution will dry on your skin in just a few minutes so you can step back into your clothes straight after the treatment without rubbing the tan or toweling.For the short period that your face is sprayed, close your eyes and do not inhale. If you suffer from respiratory problems, please contact your doctor before booking your treatment.

Post-Treatment Advice: Your tan will begin to develop immediately after your treatment.Do not shower or bath for a minimum of 8 hours after the treatment.Do not participate in any activity which may cause perspiration for at least 12 hours after the treatment.It is fine to leave the guide color on overnight and wash in the morning. If a little color does appear on bed linen, it is a naturally-derived dye and will wash out of cotton but not so easily from man-made fibers and wool.

Tan Maintenance Tips: With the correct aftercare your tan will last longer. Apply St. Tropez Body Moisturizer daily. This hydrating body lotion contains l-Tyrosine which activates the melanin in the skin ensuring your tan lasts the longest time possible. Exfoliate your skin with St. Tropez body polisher every 3 days to ensure your tan fades away evenly. Do not rub, but pat your skin dry after showering or bathing. Avoid swimming pools as chlorine will bleach your tan.
