Before you book your spray tan appointment, it’s important to know how to prepare for the best results.

Here are some steps to ensure that your clients are getting the most out of their tan and that you are producing flawless results every time.

How to Get the Best Spray Tan Results

To help you get the best spray tan results, here is some key advice.

  • Find a reputable salon with experienced technicians.
  • Carefully prepare your skin by exfoliating and moisturizing.
  • Choose a shade tailored for your skin tone.
  • Follow all pre and post-tan care instructions.
  • Allow enough time for full development, around 8-12 hours.

Troubleshooting Spray Tan Issues

Why is there no results from my spray tan?

Had a client tell you their spray tan is too light? Here’s 6 pointers on total spray tan success. There are reasons as to why you may have achieved this result.

  1. How much solution did you use? We recommend that you use between 40 and 70ml of solution per client. This will depend on how large your client is, and what type of spray tan machine you are using.

  2. Spraying too close can cause solution to drip down the body or cause overlapping patterns on the arms, legs, and torso. Oils make a solution heavier and wetter so that your spray will also be wetter, spraying too much solution can mimic this problem.

  3. Streaky/Runny-looking Tan after spray tan development: What happened is that water got on the spray tan before the DHA had time to set, resulting in streaks.

  4. Sprayed, but no tan: If no tan after waiting the correct amount of time then there was a barrier. These could be heavy soaps, moisturizers, perfumes, and even exfoliant residue.

  5. This is a common problem as sunburns tend to peel affecting spray tan results. What happens is that the dead skin layer falls and peels off with spray tan layer. Young skin underneath hasn’t been tanned.

  6. Spray tan gun clogs will affect application results. Ensuring spray gun is free of clogs will guarantee DHA passes through nozzle landing on skin.
