Spray Tan + Skincare: Ingredients That Boost (or Ruin) Your Glow

When clients step into your spray tan booth, they’re looking for more than just color. They want confidence, a flawless finish, and healthy-looking skin. That’s why the ingredients inside your spray tan solution matter just as much as the technique you use.

At X-Tan Sunless, we’ve formulated every product with skin-loving ingredients that enhance hydration, protect the skin barrier, and create a longer-lasting glow. If you’re running a sunless tanning business, understanding these ingredients is key to building trust and delivering results your clients rave about.

Why Ingredients Make (or Break) a Sunless Tan

Not all spray tan solutions are created equal. Some contain harsh alcohols, parabens, or synthetic fragrances that dry out the skin and cause streaking or uneven fading. Others are packed with nourishing extracts that hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin, giving your clients a natural-looking tan that lasts.

When you’re choosing a spray tan solution for your business, think beyond just the bronzers. Look at the skincare science behind the glow.

Skin-Loving Ingredients in X-Tan Sunless Products

Here’s a closer look at what makes X-Tan Sunless formulas different—and why your clients will notice the results:

Aloe Vera

Aloe is a powerhouse for hydration. It calms and soothes the skin, reducing redness and irritation, which is why it's most well-known for helping to alleviate sunburns. However, this is also an incredible ingredient that is great for overall skin health and nourishment. The result? A smoother, more even application.

Vitamin E

Known as the “skin vitamin,” Vitamin E helps lock in moisture while fighting free radicals. This not only nourishes the skin but also extends the life of the tan, keeping it radiant for days longer.

Green Tea Extract

Green tea is packed with antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors. In spray tan solutions, it works double-duty: it supports skin health while creating a flawless finish.

Glycerin

This humectant draws water into the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated. Clients will notice that their tan looks more natural and fades more evenly compared to alcohol-based solutions.

Natural DHA

Derived from plant sources, DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the active ingredient that gives the skin its golden color. X-Tan Sunless uses premium-grade DHA for a smooth, streak-free tan that develops beautifully and lasts longer on all skin types.

Ingredients That Can Ruin a Glow

While X-Tan Sunless focuses on skin-friendly formulas, many solutions on the market still include ingredients that can sabotage results:

• Harsh Alcohols – These dry out the skin, causing patchy fading.

• Parabens – Synthetic preservatives that can irritate sensitive skin.

• Artificial Fragrance Overload – Can trigger allergies and leave behind an unnatural scent.

When clients notice their tan cracking, fading unevenly, or feeling dry, it’s often because of these low-quality additives.

Why X-Tan Sunless is the Smart Choice for Your Business

Your clients aren’t just buying a tan—they’re investing in their skin. By choosing X-Tan Sunless, you’re offering them more than a cosmetic treatment. You’re giving them a skincare-infused glow that keeps them coming back.

• Long-lasting, natural results

• Formulated with nourishing botanicals

• Free from harsh additives that damage the skin

• Professional-grade solutions designed to boost client confidence

When your products are as thoughtful as your service, you stand out in a crowded market. And in the sunless industry, that’s how you build loyalty and repeat business.

Final Thoughts

The difference between a “just okay” spray tan and a glow clients brag about often comes down to the ingredients. With X-Tan Sunless, you can be confident you’re giving your clients a tan that looks good, feels good, and treats their skin with care.

Because when spray tanning and skincare work together, the glow lasts longer—and so does your business success.
