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.
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.
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.
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.
What Affects the Final Price
Pricing depends on solution strength, body coverage area, travel fee, and add-ons such as contouring or rapid-develop formulas. Single full-body sessions commonly range from 40 to 120 in cost. Bridal or group bookings often lower the per-person rate when 3 or more clients book the same address.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
