Caramel 1 Hour Express Pro Mist
(hot) take on the tan: MineTan’s Caramel Color Base Tan Pro Spray Mist is my favorite MineTan solution thus far — and that’s not just because its sunkissed golden finish complements my naturally reddish-toned skin. The Caramel-base solution has also been the longest-lasting and evenly fading MineTan solution I’ve tried. I sprayed two layers as I was hoping for a tan three-four shades darker, and the results were a beautiful warm caramel tan that lasted a solid week before beginning fade evenly. This tan is perfect for someone who wants a deep, rich, warm tan. While I used two layers of tan, one layer will leave the skin two-three shades darker. I let the tan develop for five hours before rinsing.
In comparison to MineTan’s Moroccan Pro Spray Mist or Coconut Water, it is a lighter option but gives just as much depth so that it looks natural sitting on the skin.
In general, MineTan has mastered the complicated science behind rapid solutions. and their large selection of rapids are of great quality for the pricepoint. All of the brand’s solutions are helpful to spray tan artists who prefer a dark color guide when spraying their clients as they are packed with beautiful bronzers that rinse off after the first shower.
