How does Spray Tan work?
The BOTAN Spray Tan is the go-to solution for achieving a radiant tan without the risks associated with sun exposure. Fast, effective, and skin-friendly, it offers much more than just a golden glow.
What is Spray Tan?
Also known as spray tanning or UV-free tanning, BOTAN Spray Tan allows you to achieve a natural golden glow without exposing your skin to ultraviolet rays.
The BOTAN solution contains a plant-derived active ingredient: DHA (dihydroxyacetone). This molecule reacts with the amino acids present on the surface of the skin to create a natural-looking tan. Every skin type is unique, which is why BOTAN developed ToneMatch©, a formula designed to adapt to your natural skin tone.
In harmony with your skin, the result is natural, quickly visible, even, and above all safe for the skin.

We reveal all the secrets to achieving a perfect, long-lasting glow ✨
Before the session
✔ Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before the session to remove dead skin cells. This helps extend the life of your tan.
✔ Shave at least 24 hours beforehand if necessary, to avoid irritation after application.
✔ Avoid applying creams, oils, or perfumes on the day of your appointment.
On the day of the session
✔ Arrive with clean, dry skin free of any products (no makeup, deodorant, or lotion).
✔ Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing after the session to avoid marks.
✔ Remove any jewelry and accessories.
After the session
✔ Respectez le temps de pose recommandé avant de vous doucher.
✔ Évitez l’eau, la transpiration et les frottements pendant la période indiquée.
✔ Hydratez votre peau quotidiennement pour prolonger votre bronzage.

Spray Tan Application: Automatic Booth or Manual Application?
The automatic booth: fast and standardized
In an automatic booth, everything is pre-programmed. Nozzles spray the solution over the entire body following a precise pattern. The session generally lasts less than ten minutes. You simply follow posture instructions to ensure an even application.
This method provides a consistent and effective result, especially if you are looking for a quick tan without any specific adjustments. However, the booth does not “see” your skin and cannot adapt to drier areas. That is why proper preparation is essential. Exfoliating 24 hours beforehand is strongly recommended.
The automatic booth is ideal for regular maintenance or for those looking for a simple and fast result.
Manual application: precision and personalization
With manual application, a trained technician adjusts the treatment in real time. The spray gun distance, the amount of product used, and the number of passes are tailored to your skin tone and desired result.
This is especially beneficial if you have lighter areas that need balancing, if you would like subtle contouring (such as more defined legs or a more even facial complexion), or if you are preparing for an important event. The professional can also apply less product to the hands and feet, where visible lines and unevenness are most likely to occur.
Another advantage is the ability to choose the exact depth of tan that best suits your skin.
