At Aglow® Airbrush Tanning, our unique skin tinting process offers professional results at a low price, so you can maintain the perfect sun-kissed glow throughout the year. Join us to learn what sets our airbrush tanning process apart from the competition!
What is the Aglow® airbrush tanning process?
Aglow®’s airbrush tanning process is fully customizable to offer the ideal shade for your unique skin. Let’s illuminate the process:

What kind of equipment does airbrush tanning use?
We use professional equipment to apply an even, streak-free tan by hand. Our highly trained elite sunless techniques ensure meticulous coverage and precision for natural looking results.
What ingredients are used?
Our tanning solutions include a blend of clean, naturally-derived ingredients like espresso, DHA, and other antioxidant-rich products. They’re vegan and free of gluten, nuts, alcohol, parabens, and artificial fragrances.
How long does it take?
The spray tan process is quick and easy, only taking a few minutes to apply. However, your tan will develop over time.
Here are the various rinse times based on the sunless tanning solution and your desired results:
- Espresso Slow Brew: Wait 8 hours to shower or exercise.
- Espresso Quick Brew: Wait 2 hours for a natural glow, and up to 6 hours for a deep, rich tan.
- Original Glow: Wait 8 hours to shower or exercise.
- Original On the Glow: Wait 2 hours for a natural glow, and up to 6 hours for a deep, rich tan.

What to expect from our airbrush tanning process
In order to achieve the best results from our airbrush tanning process, you’ll want to understand proper skin prep. Here’s what you can expect from your session:
Preparing for your airbrush tanning session
If you plan to have a manicure, pedicure, or wax, it’s best to schedule these before your tanning session. We will wipe down your nails immediately after treatment to remove any pigment.
The day before your airbrush tanning appointment:
Gently exfoliate your skin using the Aglow® Exfoliation Mitt or Prep & Glow Kit to eliminate dead skin cells and ensure a long-lasting tan. Also, refrain from products that may adhere to your skin and interfere with the airbrush tanning process. Stay away from oils, makeup, cosmetics, deodorant, moisturizer, and even Dove soap.
On the day of your session:
Wear dark colored, loose-fitting clothing and open-toed shoes to minimize any smudging. Women can choose to tan in the nude or wear a dark-toned swimsuit during the tanning process. Men should wear shorts, boxers, or boxer briefs.
How many sessions to achieve desired intensity?
Unlike tanning beds and direct sun exposure, which can cause burns and adverse short- and long-term effects to achieve a deeper skin tone, our airbrush tans can deliver the perfect shade in a single session.
How long do results last?
Our airbrush tans can give your skin the perfect sun-kissed glow for 7 to 10 days after each session. Keep your skin properly hydrated and avoid exfoliation and excessive sweating to maintain your results.

What shades do the airbrush tans deliver?
At Aglow®, we have an airbrush tanning shade for just about everyone. Here’s how our different options stack up against one another:
Espresso Slow Brew
Freshly brewed espresso beans offer a deep, rich glow after developing for about 8 hours. This tan delivers a luscious skin tone and scent that evokes your favorite morning pick-me-up.
Espresso Quick Brew
If you’re short on time, an Espresso Quick Brew treatment can give you a solid foundation tan in as little as two hours. Those looking for a deeper hue can enjoy the ultimate results after six hours. Here’s a timeline to help you plan your treatment session:
- Natural Glow: 2 hours
- Light-Medium: 3 hours
- Medium: 4 hours
- Medium-Dark: 5 hours
- Dark: 6 hours
On the Glow Solution
This rapid solution is perfect for clients on the move who require a little extra flexibility. Just like the Espresso Quick Brew, you can develop a natural glow in about two hours or a dark tone in six.
The Original Glow Solution
Our Original Glow Solution is the solution line that first got us started. This treatment gives you a classic, radiant tan with a golden hue that sets completely in about eight hours.
