Spray Tanning in Latham, NY
Urbane Beauty Co. offers custom spray tanning services from highly trained professionals in Latham, NY that will give your skin the perfect sun-kissed tone.
What is a Spray Tan?
Spray tanning is a professional sunless tanning treatment designed to give your skin a beautifully bronzed, natural-looking appearance without traditional sun exposure.
At Urbane Beauty Co. in Latham, NY, a fine mist containing DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is carefully applied to the skin by our beauty professionals. DHA is a color additive approved by the FDA for external application to the skin. It interacts with amino acids in the outermost layer of the skin, gradually developing into a customized bronzed appearance.
Your spray tan is professionally applied with attention to even coverage and your desired depth of color, creating a smooth, polished glow tailored to you.
Why get a Spray Tan?
One of the biggest benefits of spray tanning is achieving a beautifully bronzed, sun-kissed appearance without the UV exposure that comes with tanning in the sun or tanning beds. UV radiation is a known cause of skin damage and is associated with premature skin aging and an increased risk of skin cancer.
Benefits of professional spray tanning include:
• Creates a sun-kissed appearance without intentional UV exposure
• Avoids the UV radiation associated with traditional sun and tanning-bed tanning
• Helps you avoid UV-related photoaging, including wrinkles and uneven pigmentation
• Provides professionally applied, even-looking color
• Can be customized to complement your skin tone and preferred depth of bronze
• Offers a convenient glow for special occasions, vacations, or everyday wear
• Provides a sunless alternative for maintaining a bronzed appearance year-round
At Urbane Beauty Co., your spray tan is professionally airbrushed with careful attention to coverage, blending, and your desired shade for a smooth, natural-looking finish personalized to you.

Yes, spray tanning is extremely safe when done properly! Most spray tan formulas are FDA-Approved and do not have any known adverse side effects. Spray tanning formulas have DHA in them, which reacts with the skin to cause the golden-brown hue. DHA is considered safe for external use by the FDA. The FDA recommends that you avoid inhaling DHA and to cover eyes and lips when getting spray tanned.
Pre-Appointment Care
On the day before your appointment:
- Shave: On the day prior to tanning shave all areas of your body that you normally shave with a fresh razor and quality shaving cream. Shaving on the day of your spray tan may leave some skin pores open, which will show up as tiny pin points. Shaving a day prior allows the pores to close after shaving. If you wax, do this two days prior to your airbrush tan,
- Wash your body thoroughly with a non-moisturizing soap or body wash.
- Exfoliate: Using a loofah, glove or body scrub mitt exfoliate that body! Slough it all off! Pay extra attention to your knees, heels and elbows as this is where we tend to have extra patches of rough skin.
- After showering, DO NOT apply any lotions, deodorants, perfumes or make-up. Your skin can now easily absorb the organic spray tanning formula that will give you a beautiful airbrush spray tan.
On the day of the appointment:
- Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing to your appointment. Avoid jeans, bras, socks, sneakers, watches – Anything tight against the skin will be too abrasive and could rub off your organic spray tan before it has a chance to set in.
- Your airbrush spray tan will set in 8-12 hours after your session.
Post-Appointment Care
Careful after-care is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.
- Avoid getting wet while your tan develops
- Do not apply moisturizer, deodorant or foundation until after your first shower
- Avoid physical exercise, heat or other situations where you might sweat before your first shower to allow the tan to develop fully.
- After your first shower, MOISTURIZE! But avoid any products that contain mineral oil or parabens.
- After your first shower, keep in mind that swimming pools and hot tubs will shorten life of your airbrush spray tan. Chlorine and hot water strip the product from your skin.
- Apply SPF sunscreen to your skin. Although your skin looks tan, it can still burn.
Your tan will take up to 12 hours to develop!
