About Tanning

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Mobile Setup and Space Requirements at Home

You need a flat floor area of about 2 m by 2 m with ceiling height over 2.2 m. A bathroom, bedroom, or hallway works if the floor is tile, vinyl, or sealed wood. Carpeted rooms need a protective sheet. The technician brings a pop up tent, extractor fan, and floor mat. Keep pets and children out of the room during and after the session.

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.

What Affects the Final Price

Price depends on solution strength, body area count, travel distance, and appointment timing. Full body usually costs more than half body. Evening or weekend slots add a fee. Mobile call outs beyond a set radius charge per kilometre. Group bookings for 2 or more people often get a reduced per person rate. Trial sessions cost less than main event bookings.

How Long an At-Home Session Lasts

A standard full-body spray tan takes 20 to 30 minutes including setup. Allow 10 more minutes for drying before putting on loose dark clothing. The colour develops over 6 to 10 hours. Most sessions fit inside a 1-hour appointment window, so plan transport and clothing choices around that timeframe.
