TAN IN THE RAW — exclusive to Chandra Campos Makeup Artistry!
This premium sunless tanning solution produces the deepest, golden glow your skin will allow. TAN IN THE RAW's ultra-bronzing solution has been fortified with anti-aging supplements, vitamins, and antioxidants to firm the skin while it develops its tan over time. Customized shades of reds, purples, blues and browns have been specially blended in this solution to eliminate that orang-ish look that frequently happens with other tanning formulas. This sunless tanning solution contains a rejuvenating fresh fragrance that is music to your nose and will keep you smelling fresh hours after your application.
For lighter skin tones, your airbrush professional will customize your color as requested.
For the deepest, darkest color possible, please ask your airbrush professional for additional layers. Rates may vary.
Before your tan
Shower, shave and exfoliate before an airbrush tan! Streaking and uneven results are very likely if you have any sort of lotion, deodorant or product on your skin. Try shaving the night before; this allows your follicles time to close. If you're limited on time, don't worry about it. You just don't want to shave for two days following your appointment.
It is always a good idea to wear loose dark clothing to your tanning appointment. While most self tanners on the market today do not stain, we still like to be safe. We do not recommend wearing tight jeans that will cling to freshly tanned legs or waist lines.
Try to take all makeup off before you come to your appointment. Makeup creates a barrier between your skin and the tan, not to mention you don't want to get wet after your tan is processing. Please let us know ahead of time if you are coming in with makeup on so we can provide you with makeup remover.
The best time to tan, in my opinion is evenings. This way your tan keeps from getting wet. In the case you do get wet, just take a dry cloth or towel and gently blot the area. What you are seeing is the bronzer moving and believe it or not your tan will come out even.
Weddings and events
I typically suggest all "event tans" be done at least two days before the event. I think the second day after your appointment the color really starts to settle and looks AMAZING! And NO, this has yet to be shown to rub off on any clothing once you've showered.
What to wear
Dark, loose clothing — anything that can keep you covered, comfortable and DRY! The bronzer can transfer onto anything ONLY while it is processing. But it does wash out. Use a tiny amount of bleach if needed on whites. I've never had a complaint of staining.
After tanning
Stay dry for the next 6 to 8 hours if not more. Don't go to the gym, get any service done that requires water like hair, nails, or spa services! Your tan will come out blotchy and uneven.
Shower 6 to 8 hours after your appointment. The longer you leave it on the darker you get. Sleeping in it is suggested and keep in mind that our newer tanning solution is amazing and doesn't have the smell you may be used to with previous tanning products. Take every precaution to avoid touching yourself after tanning. The bronzer can and will transfer while it is processing. If this does happen shoot us a text and we can tell you the best way to get it off!
When showering you will see brown coming off which is ONLY your bronzer NOT your tan. Take your hand and gently rub in all areas to help the process. Use a very gentle soap and wash cloth but NOT a scrub brush or anything abrasive that could fade your tan. Avoid anything with alcohol (fragrance) this will shorten your tan's life.
Don't sit in any Jacuzzis, pools or baths for as long as you need your tan. This eats away at the color!
For those who workout or wear tight fitting clothing, don't forget to use a lotion regularly, being generous in the areas that might have more friction on the skin. Your tan might get rubbed off if those areas if you ignore this.
HYDRATE! Always drink water and hydrate your skin everyday. This will give your skin a nice even fade once your tan starts to lighten up. Try to avoid lotions with heavy fragrances and purchase, if you don't already have, Jergens Glow. This gradual self tanning lotion will give your new skin a fresh color while your current tan is fading out, making it a natural fade.
This solution last DAYS longer than anything else on the market or in a franchised tanning salon. Keep these steps in mind while planning your next airbrush tanning session.
Your face is typically the first to fade. You need to wash it and probably use skin care products, so do not be alarmed if you have a lighter face than body. Add a bronzer and call it a day!
Sunscreen! I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but having an airbrushed tan is not real so keep in mind you can get burned. Applying a sunscreen to your face can start to change so many imperfections to your skin. You'd be surprised how easy it is to add to your morning routine. If you need any suggestions or to purchase please ask!!!!!!
