Traditional versus SILK Express solution
So what’s the difference?
The main difference is the rinse off time! Process and application are the exact same. The express tan will fade just like how your traditional tan fades, and will look just as good, if not better! The only difference is the initial wash off time!
Traditional requires an 8-12 hour set time before you can rinse off the bronzer. Night appointments are popular for this reason- spray, lounge, sleep and wake up with your tan!
Express you can rinse off in 1-4 hours depending on the level of tan you are looking for. Ideal for clients who are on the go with a busy schedule, don't have time to wait hours before showering, require a skincare regimen, breastfeeding, prefer not to have the bronzer on 8-12 hours or while they sleep, at risk of sweating based on humidity and other factors.
SILK Express is a $20 add on service as it is a premium solution
How long will each solution last?
Depending on your skin type and how you prep and care for your spray tan, a traditional tan will last 5-7 days. SILK Express will last 10-12 days!
Express rinse off guidelines
How long you leave an express tan on your skin for is largely determined by the type of tan you want to achieve (subtle versus significant) and your skin type.
Our guidelines are 60-90 minutes for light tan, 2-3 hours for medium tan, or 3-4 hours for dark tan. Your spray tan artist will provide the suggested time during your appointment.

What is SILK Express?
My express tan disappeared with my first rinse off, is my tan gone?
No, your tan is not gone! DHA (the active tanning ingredient in our spray tan solutions) requires between eight to twelve hours to fully develop into your final tan; Express tans simply allows you to wash off the solution faster. So while you washed off the visible bronzer, your tan will continue to develop as the day goes by, but will be unharmed by rain, swimming, and exercise! Don't be worried when you rinse off in the shower and see the bronzer color go down the drain–your tan will gradually develop over the course of the next several hours!
