Frequently Asked Questions

1. How should I prepare for my spray tan?
To get the best results, exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment, and avoid lotions, oils, or deodorants on the day of your tan. Wearing loose, dark clothing is recommended for after your session.
2. How long will my spray tan last?
Typically, our spray tans last 7-10 days, depending on your skin type and aftercare. To extend your tan, moisturize daily and avoid long baths, chlorinated pools, and exfoliating.
3. Can I shower right after my spray tan?
We recommend waiting at least 8-12 hours before showering to allow the tan to develop fully. Use lukewarm water and gentle products when you do shower to maintain your glow.
4. Is spray tanning safe?
Yes, our spray tans use high-quality, skin-safe ingredients that provide a beautiful glow without UV exposure. Our formulas are designed to be gentle and nourishing for all skin types.
5. What should I expect during a mobile tanning session?
Our expert, Tanya, will bring everything needed for a convenient, professional spray tan right to your location. Each session is customized to your skin tone and desired level of tan, ensuring a flawless, natural-looking glow.
6. What should I wear during my spray tan session?
For the spray tan, you can wear as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Many clients opt for swimwear or undergarments, but disposable options are available if needed. Loose, dark clothing is recommended for after the session to avoid any transfer onto your clothes.
7. How do I maintain my spray tan for longer?
To extend the life of your spray tan, moisturize daily, avoid long hot showers, and use gentle, sulfate-free body washes. Exfoliating or rubbing your skin can cause the tan to fade more quickly, so be gentle when drying off after a shower.
