FAQs Sienna X spray tanning:

  • Yes, all Sienna X products are cruelty-free in line with British trading standards. No animals are harmed in the manufacturing of any of our products.

  • Please use the contact page here to make an appointment

  • Sunless tanner contains a substance called DHA, which reacts with the air and the amino acids on the surface of the skin, causing the cells on the surface of the skin to darken.

  • It takes just 15 minutes for a top to toe spray tan! It’s super quick, hassle free and promises to create a flawless finish. Once your skin dries you should pop on some loose clothing to avoid creating any marks on the skin, wait for the colour to develop and wash the solution off in the shower.

  • Make sure if this is your first time tanning to have a patch test with me. This ensures you are not allergic. Please contact me to arrange this.

    Remove any unwanted hair a couple of days before your sunless tanning session. This is especially important if you tend to wax your legs and underarms because it gives time for your open pores to close up. If fake tan is applied immediately after a wax it can lead to a spotty finish and possible streaks.

    Be sure to moisturise well in order to hydrate the top layer of skin cells that will react with the clever darkening ingredients in spray tan solution. However please ensure you rinse off all oils the morning of your tan. Do not wear any makeup on the day of your tan.

    Use a gentle exfoliator to remove any dead skin cells and create a smooth base ready for the application of fake tan.

    Avoid using deodorant, perfume and moisturiser on the day of your treatment to ensure that the fake tan can adhere successfully to your skin.

    Paint toes and nails ahead of your tan even with a clear varnish is fine.

    Bring loose clothing with you.

    Don’t wear any jewellery during your tan.

  • Your radiant tan will last for about 5 to 7 days depending on how well you care for your skin following your treatment. If you moisturise your skin regularly and avoid using harsh shower gels and soaps that can cause the colour to fade, your tan will look glorious all week.

  • When fake tan was first created it did have a tell tale ‘biscuity’ smell. However, modern formulations are scented with sweet fragrances that are highly effective. Many of our products contain natural ingredients that rejuvenate the skin, improve elasticity and reduce the risk of developing cellulite. What more could you ask for?

  • The areas which lose colour faster than other areas are the face and hands. This is due to regular washing, exposure to the elements and make up removal products.

  • Drinking plenty of water and being generous with your moisturiser will help to prolong your golden tan by keeping skin hydrated. If you want your sun-kissed colour to last, it is also essential to avoid scrubbing with towels or over-washing your skin by going swimming or soaking in the bath. Treat your tan with care and you will get the most from your glow.

  • An expertly applied fake tan can last well into a week and will gradually lighten as the days go on. The colour will fade off evenly and gently over the passage of time. It’s your choice how often you go for a spray tan – you may opt for a monthly treatment, book a session every week or simply visit Philippa for special occasions.

  • This depends on your colour choice. Discuss the options with Philippa and choose a colour that suits you. The 6% Tinted Spray Tan Solution is fabulous for adding a gentle but noticeable golden glow to the skin – it’s great for first time’ tanners. Darker tanning solutions, such as 12% Tinted Spray Tan Solution, are also available for people who want to achieve a burnished finish or a caramel hue.
