About Tanning
Common Problems and What Causes Them
Orange palms come from skipped barrier cream on nails and cuticles. Green patches on knees and elbows mean those areas were not buffed smooth. Streaks along the spine or ankles point to uneven spray distance, usually closer than 15 cm. Fading in 2 days rather than 7 points to heavy moisturiser use or sweat trapped under tight clothing after application.
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 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.
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.
Aftercare Rules in the First 24 Hours
Wear loose dark clothing for at least 6 hours after application. Do not shower, sweat, or get wet for 8 to 10 hours. Skip gym sessions, saunas, and swimming. Avoid tight waistbands, bra straps, or handbags pressed against skin. Use only water based products when washing the face. Pat dry, do not rub. These rules let the DHA finish reacting with skin cells.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
