Long Live Your Tan!


For the longest life of your airbrush or spray tan temporarily avoid…

  1. Hot tubs or swimming pools contain chlorine that can act to bleach the skin
  2. Anti-acne products that exfoliate, or dry the skin like Salicylic acids and Beta Hydroxy
  3. Antibiotics and other medications that affect your skin, can also affect your tan.
  4. Toners containing Alcohols or Witch Hazel
  5. Band-Aids, Biore pore strips, peel off facial masks
  6. Bar soap, Dove soap/shower gel, any soap containing sodium laureth sulfate (SLS)
  7. Petroleum & Petrolatum products, Curel, Jergens, Vaseline Intensive Care
  8. Body hair bleach and age spot lightening products
  9. AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), Retin-A type products (Renova, Tazorac, Tretinoin)
  10. Bug spray, perfumes, body sprays when sprayed directly onto skin, spray clothing instead
  11. Facial masks and exfoliating scrubs
  12. Hair Inhibiting Lotions tend to make a sunless tan yellow
  13. Exercise and sweating heavily your tan can fade faster, especially in body fold areas
  14. Wax or Depilatory hair removal products (Nair, Veet, Neet)
  15. Shaving exfoliates skin and can fade a tan. Use a sharp clean razor, with a lubricating product
  16. Hair conditioner works well as a shave cream
  17. Makeup remover cleaning products, or oils used to clean away eye makeup

The Mobile Spray Tan Experience

What to Expect During Your Mobile Spray Tan Session
TAN2YOU breaks an individual session down into five parts
  •          The consultation
  •          Equipment set up
  •          Spray tan
  •          After care instructions
  •          Equipment breakdown


        Initial sessions take a bit longer, your consultant will want to get to know your preferences and have you go over the client consent form. Common questions include “Are you pregnant?” “Do you have allergies to any sunless products?” “Do you have a special event coming up?” TAN2YOU has a pop-up tent available to keep the cosmetic bronzer in the spray mist from getting on your personal items.
Cool, dry places with plenty of ventilation, lighting and a convenient three-prong electrical outlet are ideal places to perform to spray tan.
        The actual tanning session doesn’t take
very long, we've timed it between six to ten minutes. If desired nose filters and “sticky feet” might be used. Unlike automated spray tanning booths barrier cream is not required for handheld custom spray tans. The consultant will place you in different poses and use the hand held applicator gun to mist your body. The spray is cold at first but you’ll find you get used to it very quickly! Some poses may be done twice, Different body types will require different poses for the best results. The consultant may use the air compressor to dry “strategic” places or warm you up if you get too cold.


        After your session is complete, the consultant will give you some tips to make sure your tan develops perfectly. They can also advise you on what products to use to keep your tan as long as you can. This is a good time for you to ask any questions and pay for your tan. (Tips aren’t expected but sure are nice!) After that the consultant will break down the tent, pack up the cart and head out. Expect a call or text the following day, we like to know that everything meets your expectations. If you had a good experience let them know, if you observed anything that didn’t work for you let them know that too! Many mobile spray tan consultants offer discounts on future sessions for referrals, grab an extra business card or two to share with your friends! 

Easy peasy- are you ready to try it or switch from the spray booth??
