New York - Ajune Day Spa
The folks at Ajune take their sunless tanning seriously– so please don’t call it fake. “ That’s a four-letter word, “ our aesthetician scoffed. “ Sunmist is perfectly natural.” What wasn’t natural however, was having to freeze our tail off while she applied a citrus-based PH Optimizer “to prime skin for an even application.” Then our body got an airbrush coating of the tanning formula: green tea, jojoba oil, and color-depositing sugar derivatives. In less than a half hour, our skin felt silky, smelled sweet, and had a soft caramel sheen. Booking another appointment seemed like the natural thing to do. Sunmist Tan, $65.
