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.
A full body session at home usually takes 20 to 30 minutes of spray time plus 10 to 15 minutes of drying. Add another 5 minutes for setup and 5 minutes for cleanup. Most appointments are booked in 1 hour slots. Larger areas like full legs and back add time. Plan for the technician to leave equipment on site for 15 minutes afterward.
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.
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.
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.
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 tanning pros offer spray tan application, airbrush contouring, and sometimes pre-tan skin prep. Ask if the technician brings a pop-up tent, an HVLP spray gun, and a solution suited to your skin tone. Confirm whether exfoliation wipes, barrier cream, and post-tan powder are included in the visit fee before booking.
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.
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.
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.
