  • About Bottled-Bronze

    My name is Dawn Vande Woude-Carlson. I started Bottled-Bronze Spray Tanning in May 2015.

     

    Let's face it—everyone looks better with a tan. Spray tanning is a form of self-tanning or sunless tanning where you are sprayed with a fine mist. Spray tanning is one of the most effective ways to get a great tan without the harmful effects of UV rays. Skin that is overexposed to the sun or UV is far more prone to sunburn, skin conditions, premature ageing, and, most importantly, skin cancer.

     

    This mist has an ingredient in it called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that interacts with your own skin’s chemistry to turn it tan, or bronze. This temporary effect generally lasts from 3–7 days and is completely safe for your skin (although it doesn’t provide any protection against the sun’s rays).

     

    Spray tanning is convenient as I can travel to your home and spray you in the privacy of your home.

     

    If you have never been sprayed, I encourage you to try it at least once.

     

    Please Note: I typically only travel within 10 miles of my zip code 28079 because I work full time. There may be additional mileage charges if outside my zip code. If you are purchasing a Groupon, you must drive to me or be within the 10 miles. Thank you.

    Preparation for Session

    What is DHA?

     

    Sunless tanners contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone) which reacts with the amino acids in the dead layer of your skin. DHA combines with the amino acids to form brown-colored melaninoids. It is not absorbed into the body and is non-toxic.

     

    24-48 hours before session

    •  exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!!!! We cannot stress enough the importance of pre-session exfoliation to remove excess dead skin cells.

    Protect Your Skins PH Levels

    • Avoid using bar soaps, high PH Shower products or in shower moisturizers. These products can neutralize the DHA bronzing reaction within the skin.
    • Hair Removal-Any depilatory creams, waxing or shaving should be completed 24 hours prior to your session.

    Day of Session

    • Don't create sunless barriers. Avoid applying anything to the skin that may act as a barrier between the sunless solution and the skin. Deep penetration of the solution is key to the beautiful lasting color. Do NOT apply lotions, creams or perfumes prior to session. Use deodorant sparingly.
    • Arrive prepared. Wear loose fitting dark clothing and remove all jewelry  Tight clothing can rub or smear bronzers, especially around the knees, elbows, chest and waist.

    AFTER SESSION CARE

    • You should refrain from showering as long as possible (up to 24 hours). As with all DHA products, sunless color begins developing approx. 4 hours after application and continues to darken up to 24 hours. If you MUST shower between 4-24 hours after application, warm water rinse ONLY. The use of soap can inhibit the full development of the DHA color. NOTE: Pools and spas using Chlorine can cause fading! When showering after 24-hours only use mild PH balancing shower gels and refrain from using scrubs that will strip away your sunless color. To extend your color, use a good moisturizer.
