About Tanning

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.

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.

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.

What a Tanning Service Usually Covers

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.

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.

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.

How Long an At-Home Session Lasts

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.

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.

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 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.
