About Tanning
Types of Tanning Methods Explained
Mobile tanning usually means either spray tan or airbrush tan. Both use DHA solution applied through a handheld nozzle or a tent setup with a spray gun. Spray tents are lightweight, around 1.5 m tall, and portable. Airbrush gives more precise control on hands and feet. Choose based on whether you want full coverage fast or a custom blended shade across body areas.
How Long the Tan Should Last
A well applied spray tan lasts 5 to 10 days on most skin types. Dry skin sheds faster, often within 4 days. Oily skin can hold the colour for 7 to 10 days. Hands and feet fade first because of frequent washing. A second light coat at day 5 can extend the look without buildup, especially before an event.
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.
Questions Worth Asking Before You Book
Ask which solution brand and DHA percentage will be used. Confirm the development time, aftercare products supplied, and how the tech handles skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Request the full cost including travel, and check the reschedule policy when cancelling fewer than 24 hours before the visit.
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.
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.
Aftercare Rules in the First 24 Hours
Do not shower, sweat, or get wet for at least 8 hours after application. Wear loose cotton clothing and sleep on dark sheets. Avoid tight waistbands, bra straps, and hand sanitiser on tanned skin. After the first rinse, moisturise twice daily with a fragrance-free lotion to slow natural exfoliation.
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.
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.
Common Problems and What Causes Them
Orange patches come from high DHA on fair skin or poor exfoliation. Streaks appear when the skin is wet, hairy, or has lotion residue. Knees, elbows, and ankles often go dark because they absorb extra solution. A skilled tech uses barrier cream on those zones to keep the colour even.
