About Tanning
How to Spot a Qualified Technician
Look for a certificate from a recognised spray tan training provider, such as a 1 day accredited course. Ask how many clients they treat weekly. Check that they use a pop up tent, an HVLP spray gun, and fresh DHA stock with a printed batch date. Insurance for mobile work is a sign of a serious operator willing to share paperwork on request.
Prep Work Clients Should Do Beforehand
Exfoliate 12 to 24 hours before the appointment using a glove mitt and oil free scrub. Shave or wax at least 24 hours ahead. Skip moisturiser, deodorant, perfume, and makeup on the day. Wear loose dark clothing and loose slip on shoes. Remove jewellery. These steps stop the tan from streaking, patchy areas, or turning orange where product sits unevenly.
Spray Tan Solution Strength Levels Explained
DHA concentration usually runs from 8% for a light glow up to 14% for a deep bronze. Technicians pick strength by skin tone, not just by request. Fair skin often takes 8% to 10%. Medium tones handle 10% to 12%. Deeper results need 12% to 14%. The developer mixing ratio also affects how dark the guide color looks on skin before showering.
Safety and Skin Allergy Considerations
Request a patch test 48 hours before a full session if you have sensitive skin or a history of contact allergies. DHA is considered safe for external use but can irritate broken skin, eyelids, and lips. Pregnant clients should consult their doctor first and avoid inhalation by ensuring proper room airflow during application.
Mobile Setup and Space Requirements at Home
The tech needs a 2 by 2 metre clear floor area, access to power for the spray machine, and good ventilation. A bathroom or bedroom with an open window works well. Clear nearby furniture and lay old towels on the floor. Pets should stay in another room to avoid solution mist.
How Long the Tan Should Last
A professional spray tan typically lasts 7 to 10 days with correct aftercare. Longevity depends on shower frequency, sweating, and skincare products used. Oil-based body washes strip colour fast. Switching to pH-balanced soap and patting dry with a towel can extend results by 2 to 3 days.
How to Spot a Qualified Technician
Look for formal spray tan certification, a portfolio of before-and-after images, and proof of insurance covering cosmetic application at private homes. Ask how many clients they serve per week and which brands they have trained with. Reviews that mention even fade and minimal orange tones are a strong sign.
Prep Work Clients Should Do Beforehand
Exfoliate 24 hours before the appointment using a glove and oil-free scrub. Shave or wax at least 12 hours early to prevent streaking. Remove deodorant, perfume, and moisturiser from skin right before the tech arrives. Bare feet or loose flip-flops prevent tan lines on the toes during the session.
Spray Tan Solution Strength Levels Explained
Solutions come in 8%, 10%, 12%, and 14% DHA concentrations. Lower percentages suit fair skin or first-timers, while higher DHA gives a deeper result on medium to olive tones. Ask which brand the tech uses and whether it contains erythrulose, a bronzer that develops over 8 to 12 hours after application.
Safety and Skin Allergy Considerations
DHA is approved for cosmetic use but can irritate sensitive skin. Ask for a patch test 48 hours before the appointment, especially if you have eczema, psoriasis, or a history of contact dermatitis. Inhaled spray is a concern in small rooms, so a ventilated area or extractor fan is useful. Pregnant clients should get written clearance from a doctor before booking.
