UV vs Spray Tan: Which Is Right for You
Both give you a beautiful glow. The right choice depends on your timeline, your skin, and your preference.
Key takeaways
- UV tanning builds a base that lasts with regular sessions.
- Spray tan is a no UV glow that develops in hours and lasts about a week.
- Spray tan is ideal before an event, a trip, or a photo.
- Many guests use both, and we help you find the mix that fits.
UV tanning
UV builds color in your skin over time. With a short, regular session each week, you develop and maintain a natural base. We guide you to the right level for your skin and keep every session sensible.
Choose UV if you want an ongoing, low effort glow you can maintain as part of your routine.
Spray tan
Spray tan is a topical, no UV glow. We custom blend to your tone and apply by hand, so the result looks like you spent a weekend at the beach. It develops in a few hours and lasts roughly a week before fading softly.
Choose spray tan if you want color fast, prefer no UV exposure, or have an event on the calendar.
Why not both
A lot of our guests build a base with UV and add a spray tan before something special. Our higher membership tiers include spray tan for this reason.
