Most Norvell airbrush tans last 5–10 days depending on your skin type, preparation, and aftercare. Keeping your skin well moisturized and avoiding excessive exfoliation will help extend the life of your tan.

• Signature – Our standard custom airbrush tan that develops over 8+ hours for a natural, sun-kissed glow.

• Accelerated – A rapid-developing solution that allows you to rinse sooner (1–3 hours depending on desired depth).

• Ultra – A deeper, more intense bronze created with additional layering for maximum color.

For the best results:

• Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment

• Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior

• Arrive with clean, dry skin

• Avoid lotions, deodorant, makeup, and oils

• Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment

Proper preparation helps the spray tan apply evenly and last longer.

This depends on the tan you choose:

• Signature & Ultra: Rinse after 8+ hours

• Accelerated: Rinse after 1–3 hours depending on desired depth

Your color will continue to fully develop over the next 24 hours.

Yes. Airbrush spray tanning is a sunless tanning method, meaning it provides beautiful color without harmful UV exposure from the sun or tanning beds.

A spray tan booth uses automated nozzles to apply tanning solution while you stand in a machine. The solution is sprayed in a preset pattern and cannot be adjusted for your unique body shape, skin tone, or areas that may need lighter or heavier coverage.

A custom airbrush spray tan, like the Norvell airbrush tanning offered at Maine Laser Skin Care + Medi Spa, is applied by a trained technician who carefully sprays the solution by hand. This allows for a fully customized tan that is tailored to your skin tone, desired depth of color, and body contours. Airbrush tanning also allows the technician to blend areas like hands, feet, elbows, and knees for a more natural, even result.

Because of the personalized application, custom airbrush tanning typically produces a more natural-looking, streak-free finish compared to automated spray booths.
