Putting Your Best Face Forward

Did you know that your everyday tanning lotion isn’t meant for your face? Especially Tingle lotion. Lotion for your body can clog your pores and even cause you to break out. Darque Immersion carries lotions that are specially formulated for your face. These lotions can do many things that range from accelerate the tanning process to even treating blemishes. Our St. Petersburg tanning location offers four great choices.

“Amazing Face” is a facial bronzer with UVB inhibitors that will accelerate the tanning process as well as add a touch of sunless color to your face to give you a radiant glow.



“Saving Face” is a hypoallergenic facial accelerator that will give your face that nice dark natural looking tan to go with your already radiantly tanned body! This is a great lotion to use when you’re using a Tingle everywhere else.

“Vanishing Act”
is a dark tanning facial bronzer with blemish treatment for clear skin. Why not give yourself the best looking skin possible while giving yourself a radiant glow at the same time?!

“Privilege” is a dark tanning facial bronzer that contains a magical silicone emulsion that will further enhance your deep dark tan as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

So make sure to ask your favorite Darque Girl, or Guy about facial lotion today! - Joey

Preparing for Sunless

Preparing your skin for a sunless tan will not only enhance your results but also make it last longer!

Sunless tanning products contain the active ingredient, dihydroxyacetone, or DHA. DHA reacts with the skins outer layer to temporarily darken your skin and give the appearance of a tan. DHA does not wash off; however, in the days following a sunless tan, dead skin cells are sloughed off, fading your tan gradually. Your body gains a thin layer of dead skin every day. However light and unseen this layer may be, it will prevent the spray tan from reaching your fresh skin, so you’ll want to be sure that your skin is perfectly prepaired!

Start preparing your body several days or even a week in advance. Skin that is used to a regular routine of exfoliation and moisturizer is more likely to have a beautiful sunless tan!

Get out your new exfoliation scrub and hop in the shower or bath. Use your exfoliant with a wash cloth or bath puff and scrub, scrub, scrub! This will remove the top layers of dead skin cells by exposing a fresh, new layer of skin that can readily absorb the sunless tanning product. Give drier body parts like elbows, knees, ankles, hands and feet extra attention. If you need to shave or wax your legs definitely do so before your sunless tan. If you will be sprayed with the solution containing a bronzer it is best to shave or wax one or two days before, as the bronzer gets into the newly created pores and can give you a "spotty" look. If the solution is clear that is unlikely to happen.



Keep your skin supple and moist by moisturizing every day after you exfoliate. This will help the sunless spray to evenly adhere. On the day you receive your sunless spray your skin must be free of lotions, makeup, perfumes, deodorant or anything else that could leave a residue on the skin.

Now, you are ready for your sunless spray tan! Here’s to a beautiful, golden glow!

Sunless Prep Tip

Shave with a new blade either the night before if you have an AM session or the morning of if you have an afternoon or evening session. That way it shaves close and you will not have to shave as soon, also stay away from those womens shave creams..caustic to a sunless tan while you have it on your skin!
