Lavish Airbrush Tan.
With our 100% organic DHA, paraben-free solution, you’ll enjoy natural-looking results perfectly matched to your skin tone, hand-applied by your tanning goddess.
Lavish Tan’s brown-sugar formula is derived from apples, so the color develops golden brown with no orange tones. It’s designed for every skin tone, light to medium-dark.
- Lasts 7–12 days, with a flawless fade
- Organic, skin-nourishing ingredients
- Lightweight, non-sticky and paraben-free
- A pleasant, naturally sweet scent
- Express solution: shower in as little as two hours. Allow 2 hours for a light shade, 3 for medium-light, 4 for medium.
- Finishing powder: brushed on after your tan, it ends that sticky feeling, protects the bronzer as it develops, leaves a light shimmer and keeps it off your clothes and sheets.

Matrix L33
One of the world’s finest tanning beds. There are very few in North America, so we’re lucky to have one right here in Napa. Its 33 high-output, high-pressure bulbs are known for dark, long-lasting results, and your color keeps deepening for 48 hours.
- Tan in 3–4 visits
- 33 high-pressure bulbs
Solarix X2
See the color difference immediately. Where conventional beds take 3 to 8 visits to build a base tan, the Solarix X2 takes 2 to 5, and most people keep their color with a session every one to two weeks.
- Base in 2–5 sessions
- Maintain every 1–2 weeks
What “high pressure” means
It refers to the type of lamp. Most of the UVB, or “burning,” rays are filtered out, so you’re exposed almost entirely to UVA, the rays that produce a golden-brown tan. It suits anyone who needs a tan quickly, or wants it to last longer than a tan from a traditional bed.

Before & after.
A little prep makes the glow last. More answers in the Glow Guide.
Before your tan
- Exfoliate and shave before your tan. The day before is best.
- Skip makeup, moisturizer, perfume and deodorant. They act as a barrier and stop the color from developing properly.
- Schedule workouts, waxing and manicure or pedicure appointments before your tan.
- Bring dark, loose-fitting clothing and sandals to wear afterward.
After your tan
- Don’t shower or get wet for 5–7 hours, or 2–4 hours for Lavish Express.
- After your first shower, moisturize with a paraben-free lotion at least twice a day for a week, for an even, flawless fade.
- Avoid chlorinated Jacuzzis, saunas and steam rooms, and limit intense workouts for a longer-lasting tan.
- Take cool showers instead of baths, and skip scrubs and scented body wash.
- A spray tan is not sunscreen. Apply an oil-free sunscreen before sun exposure.
