What can clients expect after using the spray tan booths regarding color longevity?

Clients can generally expect the results from spray tan booths to last up to 7 days. This duration is typical because the active ingredient in most spray tans, dihydroxyacetone (DHA), interacts with the outer layer of the skin to develop a bronzed appearance. Since the outer skin cells naturally exfoliate and regenerate over time, the tan gradually fades.

Expecting a tan to last longer than 7 days can lead to disappointment, as factors like skin type, maintenance routines, and environmental exposure can affect the longevity. The 3-day option understates the typical duration, while suggesting a tan lasts up to 10 days overestimates how long clients can expect to maintain that color without proper care or additional application. The option indicating that color is temporary and fades immediately does not accurately reflect the gradual fading process associated with spray tanning.
