Questions & Answers

WHAT DO I WEAR?

Women are welcome to undress to their comfort level. Overspray gets on your clothing completely washes out. Please keep in mind that you will have prominent tan lines where clothes are left on. Men are required to wear clothing that covers their private area unless we are tanning for a competition.

Loose-fitting, dark clothing should be worn when leaving your appointment and during the tan development period. DO NOT WEAR JEANS WHILE YOUR TAN IS DEVELOPING. Avoid wearing a bra if possible.

HOW LONG WILL MY APPOINTMENT TAKE?

Set up, spray and breakdown takes 15 minutes. If we're blending tan lines, an additional 5 minutes will be needed.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

Mobile service will be provided in the comfort of your own home. You choose where we set up. We will need a 5' x 4' space, adequate lighting and an electrical outlet in order to perform the service. Typically a master bathroom or kitchen with overhead lighting is ideal.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

You can expect your airbrush tan to last 7-10 days. Proper skin prep and keeping your skin hydrated is KEY in getting longevity out of your spray tan.

HOW CAN I EXTEND THE LIFE OF MY TAN?

Avoid manually exfoliating skin. Pat dry when you get out of the shower. Moisturize immediately after showering while your skin is still damp. Use an alcohol free, paraben free and non petroleum based moisturizer twice a day. We have a number of products available for retail that are specifically formulated for regular sprayers.

WHEN IS IDEAL APPOINTMENT TIME?

If you are spraying for an event, 48-36 hours prior to event time.

If you are spraying for a vacation, 24-36 hours prior to destination arrival.

CAN I SWIM AFTER MY TAN?

You can certainly swim 24 hours after , but chlorine can diminish the life of the tan. Please make sure you rinse well after the pool and apply lotion to keep your skin well moisturized. If you're planning on getting in a chlorinated pool, please create a barrier with a non-spray, waterproof sunscreen. Reapply every 2 hours,

ARE YOU ABLE TO TAN DARKER COMPLEXIONS?

Of course! Spray tans do so much more than just add color. We can blend tan lines and even out any imperfections in skin tone.

HOW OFTEN CAN/SHOULD I TAN?

This is going to vary by client, It's ideal that your previous tan be entirely exfoliated off before we respray, but not completely necessary. If you're taking care of your tan properly, you should fade completely even and are able to be sprayed over if desired.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?

I carry multiple lines of solution to tailor to every client's skin type and undertone. Everyone should be very aware of what they are putting on their skin. I'm happy to show you ingredients prior to spraying you if you so prefer, just ask. Two of the lines I carry are certified organic. Every line I carry has eco-certified organic dha.

CAN I TAN ONLY MY LEGS OR FACE?

Definitely. However, these services are not provided mobile without the service of another full body tan being performed simultaneously.

CAN I SPRAY TAN IF I HAVE DRY SKIN?

Please let us know if you have extremely dry skin. Keeping your skin properly hydrated is imperative in the tan developing and fading evenly. Those who are prone to eczema or psoriasis may not be a good fit for spray tanning.

RAPID RINSE VS. CUSTOM AIRBRUSH TAN

The only difference between the two formulas is rinse time. Both formulas can take up to 24 hour to develop out. You are able to rinse within 2-4 hours with a rapid vs 8-12 hours with a regular solution.
