Spray Tans in Parnell: Get a Natural Glow at Verdo

Want a sun-kissed glow without the UV damage? Our professional spray tans at Verdo Parnell give you a natural, even tan that lasts up to 10 days.

The Science: DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the active ingredient in spray tans, reacts with amino acids in the skin surface to produce a temporary bronze colour. The colour sits in the outermost layer of skin and fades as those cells shed. It is not a sunscreen: the small amount of UV protection dihydroxyacetone gives is short-lived, so keep wearing SPF. (Faurschou and Wulf, 2004)

Our Spray Tan ($50)

We use premium tanning solutions that develop naturally over 6 to 8 hours. Choose from light, medium or dark shades to match your skin tone and preference.

Before Your Spray Tan

  • Exfoliate the night before (especially knees, elbows and ankles)

After Your Spray Tan

  • Wait 6 to 8 hours before showering
  • Pat dry instead of rubbing
  • Moisturise daily to extend your tan
  • Avoid swimming and heavy exercise for the first 24 hours

Is the DHA in spray tans absorbed into the skin?
The article explains that DHA, the active ingredient in spray tans, reacts with amino acids in the skin surface to produce a temporary bronze colour.
