The second annual National Spray Tanning Day will be held Thurs., March 21, 2024. The news was shared by Sunless, Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of spray-tanning equipment and self-tan skin-care products .
Nearly 70 million people were exposed to spray tanning messaging during last year's first-annual National Spray Tanning Day thanks, in part, to the involvement of notable influencers, like Chrishell Stause from the Netflix show “Selling Sunset.” More than 1,000 salons in 44 states and three countries participated in last year's celebration.
"On National Spray Tanning Day, and every day for that matter, everyone can spray tan and show off their inner glow," said Randy Zeno, CEO at Sunless, Inc. "An important part of our responsibility to consumers is to elevate the conversation surrounding safe, sunless tanning and celebrate inclusivity. And that's exactly why we celebrate this special day annually."
A "Healthy Way" to Achieve Glowing Skin
Spray tanning involves the spray/mist application of sunless-tanning solution to the skin. When applied, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), the active ingredient in spray-tanning solution, reacts with the proteins in the skin's superficial layer to form a golden-brown color. The skin begins to darken two to four hours after application and reaches peak color within 24 hours. The color will fade through natural exfoliation, like a tan from the sun, officials said.
Sunless, Inc's systems include the VersaSpa PRO Spray System, which combines advanced skincare science and tanning technology with ingredients such as marine algae to firm, detoxify and hydrate the skin;
and the Mystic Tan Unity Spray System, a customizable product.
