Lash and brow tinting uses a semi-permanent dye to darken your natural eyelashes and eyebrow hairs, giving definition without daily mascara or brow pencil. It is a quick, popular salon treatment that suits people who want their lashes and brows to look fuller and more defined, and it can be especially handy if your natural hairs are fair, grey or sparse-looking. The tint coats the hair itself rather than the skin, so the colour fades gradually as the hairs grow and shed.

A spray tan is a form of sunless tanning that gives your skin a golden, sun-kissed look without any exposure to UV. A fine mist of solution is applied to the skin, either by a trained therapist using a spray gun or in an automated booth. The active ingredient is usually dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colouring agent that reacts with amino acids in the outermost layer of the skin to gradually produce a brown tone. Because the colour sits on the surface and is not caused by UV damage, a spray tan is widely regarded as a lower-risk alternative to sunbathing or sunbeds.
