Questions, answered
Everything you'd ask before your first tan.
Straight answers to everything we get asked, the shade guide from our tan room walls, and exactly when to rinse. If it's not here, ask us below.
Your questions
Ask away. We've heard them all.
Your first tan
Not here. The VersaSpa Pro uses a consistent, controlled spray, not a human with an airbrush gun. You choose your shade, the booth does the rest. 15 million spray tans run on this technology every year and the formula is designed to develop naturally on your skin. Orange is a home-tan problem. Not a Soleil problem.

Find your tan
The wall guide, before you've walked in.
Two decisions: how deep you want to go, and which solution suits your skin. Then one number on the panel does the rest.
Natural
1–2 shades darker
Sun-kissed. Barely-there warmth.
Medium
2–3 shades darker
Golden & warm. Most popular.
Dark
3–4 shades darker
Rich bronze. Great for events.
Darkest
4–5 shades darker
Deep & dramatic. Experienced tanners.
Unsure? Start here
Riviera Rapid, medium, with primer. The official start-here setting, printed on the wall in your room. You can always go darker next time.
Which solution suits your skin?
Fair, pink, or burns easily
Cannes Clear
Golden undertone, our most natural sun-kissed colour.
Olive, medium, or darker
Riviera Rapid
Cool violet undertone, deep bronze. Start at medium.
Want it deeper, happy to sleep in it
La Reserve
Same formula as Riviera Rapid with a longer, richer develop.
When to rinse
Your rinse time, by solution.
Photograph the wash-off times board in your room before you leave. Hands and face develop faster than your body, so they rinse earlier.
Riviera Rapid
The express. Most popular.
La Reserve
The classic. Great to sleep in.
Cannes Clear
The natural. Sprays on clear.
Your first rinse may look light. That's normal. The colour keeps deepening for up to 24 hours.
Make it last 7 to 10 days
Stay dry
No water, sweat, or tight clothing until your first rinse.
Rinse gently
Lukewarm water, gentle cleanser, no scrubbing. Pat dry.
Moisturise daily
Hydrated skin holds colour longer and fades evenly.
Avoid oil
Oil-based products and long hot showers fade the tan fastest.
