Tanvee Advanced Dark is a professional 12% DHA spray tan solution created for artists who need a clear step up in depth from Tanvee Advanced Medium.
It is designed for clients who want a richer, more noticeable tan rather than a natural-to-medium result. It is especially useful for returning clients who already know how their skin responds to sunless tanning and consistently ask for greater depth.
What makes Tanvee Advanced Dark different is not only the higher DHA percentage. It is how the complete formula is built.
AYU’s innovative delivery system helps distribute the solution evenly across the skin surface for smooth professional application. Humectants, emollients, botanical extracts, and skin-conditioning ingredients help maintain hydration and comfort throughout the eight-hour development period.

Tanvee Advanced Dark contains a balanced brown cosmetic bronzer with a subtle plum hue.
The bronzer gives the artist clear visual guidance during application. It helps track coverage, identify missed areas, and confirm that the solution has been applied evenly. It also gives the client an immediate, fresh-from-the-beach bronzed appearance while the DHA-developed tan begins to form.
How the Bronzer May Appear on Different Skin Tones
- Rosy or pink skin: May visually soften the appearance of surface redness
- Light neutral skin: Appears as a soft, natural light brown
- Medium neutral or olive skin: Appears as a richer neutral brown
- Medium-deep skin: Appears as a deeper neutral brown overlay
- Deep or dark skin: Adds subtle visible definition and glow
The bronzer will not look identical on every client because the client’s natural skin color remains visible beneath it.
The cosmetic bronzer is an application guide only. It rinses away during the first shower and does not determine the final developed tan.

DHA develops color within the stratum corneum, so skin condition, hydration, preparation, and aftercare all influence how evenly a spray tan develops, wears, and fades.
Tanvee Advanced Dark is built with AYU’s Micro-Emulsion Delivery System and a skin care–infused base containing humectants, emollients, and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts. The formula is designed to support surface hydration, skin comfort, smooth professional application, and even color development throughout the eight-hour development period.
Key ingredients include Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba Oil, Rooibos, Amla, Maqui Berry, Pomegranate, Turmeric, Vitamin E, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Amla, Neem, and Turmeric reflect AYU’s connection to AYURVEDIC WELLNESS, brought together with modern cosmetic chemistry.
The formula supports the skin, but it cannot override dryness, surface buildup, irritation, uneven preparation, or inadequate aftercare.
Healthy, well-prepared skin supports the most consistent, even color development.

Before Spraying
Skin should be clean, properly exfoliated, and free of lotions, oils, deodorant, and makeup.
Use AYU Smooth Glow Pre-Tan Prep Spray to help reduce surface residue, minimize beading, and support more even application.
Solution Prep
Shake gently before use.
Pour approximately 50-60 mL (1.5–2 fl oz) into the spray gun cup.
When Tanvee Advanced Dark is used as formulated, any clean, unused portion can be returned to the original container.
When the solution has been blended or customized with other AYU professional solutions or AYU-approved additives, store the remaining blend separately in a clean, clearly labeled container. Do not return a customized blend to the original bottle.
Application
Spray with even, controlled passes using your normal professional technique.
Use overlapping strokes and maintain a consistent distance from the skin to help prevent buildup.
Use the bronzer as your visual guide for coverage and balance.
Apply two even, controlled coats. The first coat establishes overall coverage, and the second helps confirm that the skin has been evenly covered with no missed areas.
Allow the tan to dry fully for approximately 8–10 minutes before dressing.
After Application
Follow with AYU Smooth Glow Moisture Seal and AYU Finishing Powder to help reduce transfer and improve client comfort.
Instruct the client to avoid water, sweat, and friction during development.
Rinse after approximately eight hours.
Follow with proper post-tan hydration to support a longer-lasting, more even fade.

When should I choose Dark instead of Medium or Rapid?
Choose Tanvee Advanced Dark when the client wants richer, more visible depth and can complete a traditional eight-hour development period.
Choose Tanvee Advanced Medium when the client prefers natural-to-medium depth. Choose Tanvee Advanced Rapid when a shorter, customizable rinse window is more important.
Will 12% DHA be too dark for lighter skin?
It can create significant depth on lighter skin, so the artist should evaluate the client’s skin condition, previous tanning response, desired result, and application amount.
For a first-time client or someone seeking a softer result, Tanvee Advanced Medium may be the more appropriate starting point.
Can Tanvee Advanced Dark be used on dry or mature skin?
Yes, when the skin is healthy and properly prepared.
Dry or mature skin may not always benefit from automatically selecting a higher DHA percentage. The artist should consider the condition of the skin and the client’s desired depth before choosing Dark.
Does Tanvee Advanced Dark fade evenly?
Tanvee Advanced Dark is formulated to support a smooth, gradual fade.
The actual fade depends on skin condition, preparation, application, bathing habits, friction, hydration, and post-tan care.
Can Tanvee Advanced Dark be blended with other AYU solutions?
Yes. AYU professional solutions can be blended with one another to customize DHA depth, development style, or cosmetic bronzer appearance. Measure carefully, mix thoroughly, and store any remaining customized blend separately in a clean, clearly labeled container. Do not return a blended solution to the original bottle.
How should Tanvee Advanced Dark be stored?
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
No refrigeration is required.
Shelf life: 12 months from the manufacture date.
