Combining the benefits of spray tanning with the detoxifying effects of an infrared sauna session can elevate your tanning experience to a whole new level. With our 3-step method at SOL SPA, the 24 hour smart spa, our members benefit from the synergy between infrared saunas and spray tanning as they complement each other for achieving the perfect bronzed look. For those of you who don’t know, SOL SPA developed the 1,2,3 approach that begins with (1) Hot Detox Yoga & Hot Chakra meditation in our infrared sauna, (2) a zero gravity massage, and (3) a fully customizable spray tan!

Everyone loves the way they feel after a Hot Detox Yoga session in our infrared sauna mainly due to the infrared heat's ability to penetrate the skin and promote detoxification. Not to mention a session in the sauna results in improved circulation, relaxation, and the release of toxins through sweat. Preparing your skin before a spray tan by cleansing it of impurities through an infrared sauna session can make a huge difference in your overall results. Evenness, how long it lasts, and even how dark and natural your spray tan comes out can all be improved as a result of spraying after a sauna session.

Two necessary steps to prepare your skin for a spray tan after an infrared sauna session:

1. Cleanse your body thoroughly to remove any sweat, oils, or impurities. At SOL SPA, we offer our Lemon Towelettes, infused with lemon essential oil. Members can grab one anytime during staffed or non staffed hours in our vending machine.

2. Exfoliate to slough off dead skin cells, creating a smooth canvas for the spray tan. We have both an exfoliating mitt as well as a dry exfoliating scrub that works perfectly for spray tan prep. Both of these can be found 24/7 in our vending machines as well.

So, let me sum it up for you, why do infrared saunas and spray tanning make a winning combination in our 3 step method?

-Infrared saunas open up the pores, allowing the spray tan solution to penetrate more effectively for a longer-lasting glow.

-Enhanced blood flow from the sauna session promotes an even distribution of the spray tan solution, preventing streaks or uneven color.

-The calming effects of the Hot Detox Yoga & Hot Chakra meditation in the infrared saunas followed by a massage reduces stress, creating a more relaxed environment for your spray tan experience.

If you’re looking for a darker, more even, longer lasting, and natural looking glow, look no further! Come try out an infrared sauna and spray tan pairing today at the spa that never closes, SOL SPA!
