Safety

Important safety information.

A spray tan is a cosmetic service, but skin can react to cosmetic products. Please read the guidance below before your appointment, and contact Avéleine directly if anything applies to you.

Contraindications & important safety information

Before booking.

Clients should disclose relevant skin conditions, allergies, sensitivities, medications and recent treatments before their appointment. Avéleine may decline or postpone a tan where it would not be appropriate to proceed safely.

Please contact Avéleine before booking if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding. Spray application is generally approached cautiously because inhalation exposure is not well established; Avéleine may require medical advice/clearance or may decline the service during pregnancy.
Are undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other cancer treatment, or have recently completed treatment. Please obtain clearance from your treating medical team before booking.
Have a known allergy or previous reaction to self-tan, DHA, fragrance or cosmetic ingredients.
Have active eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, a flare-up, unexplained rash, broken/irritated skin, open wounds, infection or significant sunburn in the areas to be tanned.
Have recently had a peel, laser treatment, injectable/cosmetic procedure, waxing or other treatment that has left the skin compromised. Timing should be confirmed with the treating professional where appropriate.
Are using prescription or active skincare that may make the skin unusually sensitive or prone to irritation.

Patch testing

If there is a history of sensitivity or allergy, a patch test may be appropriate before a full application. A patch test does not guarantee that a reaction cannot occur. If you develop irritation, swelling, breathing difficulty or another concerning reaction, remove the product where appropriate and seek medical advice urgently if symptoms are severe.

Eyes, lips & inhalation

DHA products are intended for external skin application. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips and mucous membranes, and avoid inhaling the spray. Avéleine will use appropriate application and protective measures during the service.
