Custom Spray Tanning in O'Fallon, MO

Spray tanning is a cosmetic sunless tanning service: a fine mist of tanning solution is applied evenly over the skin, and the color develops in the hours after the appointment. No UV light is involved; the tan comes entirely from the solution. What makes it custom at Esthetics By Terry is that the solution and shade are chosen for you at the appointment, based on your skin tone and the look you want, from a subtle glow to a deeper tan. Spray tanning is offered to adults in the O'Fallon, Missouri area, booked as a single appointment at the studio, and every session is applied one-on-one by Terry.

The tanning solution works on the outermost layer of the skin, where its active ingredients react with the surface of the skin to develop visible color gradually after your session. Because the color lives in that outer layer, a spray tan is temporary by nature: it fades step by step as the skin naturally renews itself, rather than washing off all at once. How long the color holds varies from person to person and depends on how the skin is cared for afterward, so Terry talks through what to expect at your appointment. A spray tan changes the appearance of the skin's surface color only; it is a cosmetic treatment, not a medical one, and it does not provide sun protection.

Terry sprays Norvell sunless tanning products, a professional line used in salons and studios. Working from a professional line means the shade can be matched to your skin rather than a one-formula-fits-all approach: at your appointment, Terry looks at your skin tone and the depth of color you are after and selects the Norvell solution to suit. If you have an event coming up, mention it when you book so the timing of your session lines up with when you want the color at its best.

A little preparation helps a spray tan apply evenly, and the right care afterward helps it last, so Terry gives prep and aftercare guidance in person, fitted to your skin and your plans. If you are not sure whether a spray tan is right for you, ask when you book and she will talk it through with you. Custom spray tanning is booked online like every service at Esthetics By Terry, by appointment at the O'Fallon studio, and clients come in from across St. Charles County. Prices are listed on the online booking site.
