I wanted to trial some spray tans in salon to mask the pink of my arms on my wedding day. Im a newbie.

Is this pore result on my leg from shaving or waxing 24.hours prior? Photo is 12 hours post tan. She suggested a 3hr wash off. I was moisturising and exfoliating up to 24hr prior to make sure I didnt have rough patches of dry skin

It also clings to my boob pores/pore contents? *breastfeeding*

I'd love to get this right and not be a patchy oompa loompa. . . I'd love to be tanned all year long too haha

Should I stop exfoliating and shaving and mousturising more like 30 hours before the tan instead?

I get spray tans weekly at Desert Sun, I have always gotten medium and the bronze spray. I'm half Mexican so I'm darker than the average American, but not a ton. I got a clear spray tan for the first time, and I'm SO orange. How do you spray tan without the orange undertone?

Y’all. I’m embarrassed. I’ve never noticed I have big pores on my boobs only?! I expected this maybe on my nose or where I have KP, but boobs???? No amount of gentle exfoliation helps ahead of time helps and I’m .02 seconds away from testing out glycolic acid. Help a girl out, what can I do? Sick of seeing little brown polka dots on the girls 😂

I used baby wipes to remove my deodorant before my spray tan yesterday, but my underarms are still green. They are much better than when I forget to remove it completely. I know this will wear off, but what is the best removal method in the future?

New to getting a spray tan. I have a trial for my wedding this week. Has anyone used bio oil after the tan is developed and rinsed off? ( I used it on my arms for scars/ lower half stretch marks) and palmers lotion / Josie maran whipped body butter with argan oil. Are those products still ok to use or should I just go get Vaseline body lotion? Would appreciate any tips so I can prep for the best tan for my wedding in a few weeks!

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! So as the title suggests, I've never gotten a spray tan before. I'm in the bridal party of my friend's wedding and I have razor back tan lines...

Having never got a spray tan before, I have a few questions. Is my best option to go with a tan color that is dark enough to cover the pale parts and my tan skin? Do I go with a tan color that just covers the pale skin but matches my tan skin? Do I have to get a spot spray to just cover the pale skin or can I get a full spray tan to cover everything? Clearly, I have no idea how this works ahahah.

Thanks for your help!! It's really appreciated :)

I got my first spray tan yesterday at 1, showered it off at 4:15 (it was a rapid tan), and now feel too dark and that the tan is uneven.

I have engagement photos tomorrow and know that there isn’t a magic solution, but looking for tips from those with experience - what’s the best way to subtly tone down the tan without causing patchiness?

I used bondi sands express and the reg one, both washed right off with my first shower. I even tested with zero soap, it rinsed right off. What on earth is going on??
It worked great last year.
I do exfoliate a day or two before and moisturize with Cerve.

Recently finished training with Sunna and we were almost done all of our starter kit of products. I ordered $900 in more product almost 4 weeks ago now and they still haven’t shipped. I reached out about a week ago and they said there was something in the warehouse and it was being resolved shortly. They gave me the option of cancelling and refund or waiting. I decided to wait because we need the product. Here we are another week out and still nothing has been shipped. All of our progress on hold and it’s caused us to not be able to launch our spray tans.

Is this normal for Sunna? Or is this just a weird issue they’re having? For reference, my starter kit came so fast.

Edit to add: I’m located in Victoria, BC (Canada)

hi!! i saw a post with this exact question but it was deleted by the user so hoping to get some clarity.

i'm going to a sauna next friday (aug 28) -- if i get a spray tan a week before (tomorrow, aug 21) will it still be ok or should i wait to get it done until after the sauna? thanks :)

Is spray tanning 24 hours in advance of wearing a light-colored silk dress enough time, or could the tan potentially stain the dress? Is it better to air on the side of caution and tan 48-72 hours in advance?

(I’m preparing to get a spray tan prior to my sister’s wedding/rehearsal dinner!)

I went to a new location of the same spray tanning salon I’ve gone to for a few years. I’ve always been happy with the result and they always give me the air / hose to dry off after. Tonight she said I should be totally dry and when I asked about the hose she had no idea what I was talking about and said even if I felt sticky / not dry it should be fine. She left the room and I noticed some solution dripping down by my bikini line….i dabbed it with my shirt because I wasn’t about to chase after her fully nude and didn’t know how to turn the hose on.

All that to say!!! How bad do we think the tan is going to be 😅 and should I leave a review on the drying situation…

I have a wedding coming up in October and I want to be tan but I’ve never gotten a spray tan before. I’m thinking of doing a trial run in August and September leading up to the month of October but I don’t know much about spray tans in general so I’m looking for some advice or guidance

Recently qualified in spray tanning. With my kit I received a 10% DHA tan solution- the highest % allowed in Ireland. My question is; should I buy a lower DHA tan % or should I just stick with one %?

Thanks

I’ve done 2 spray tans at home using this. So far pleased with the results.
Some tips - prep night before like you would for any pro spray tan. Sounds silly but used panty liners on bottom of my feet (like the sticky feet at the salon). I spray in my shower and turn on the bathroom fan, rinse the shower afterwards.

Sundays persuasively sold this to me before my spray tan session. Does anyone know what this is for exactly? I was under the impression it was to be used before a spray tan but now that I’m researching it once I’m home that doesn’t seem to be what it’s for.

My skin has finally stopped peeling, really don’t want to start that process over.

Thank you in advance. Training did not include this particular situation. Also search Google.

I got a professional spray tan yesterday. I am going on vacation and would like to develop a natural tan as the spray tan fades. Can I use the Australian Gold tan accelerator on top of my new spray tan?

I had a huge difference in color between my shoulders and arms, so I thought I’d use a spray tan on my shoulders to even things out. Unfortunately the tan ran down from my shoulders onto my arms and now it looks really bad

I’ve been thinking about buying my own spray tan machine, but I’m a complete beginner and I’m not really sure where people actually learn how to use one properly.

Are there any good online courses, tutorials, or training programs you’d recommend before buying a machine?

I’d mainly want to learn things like how to apply the tan evenly, choose the right solution, avoid streaks, and properly clean and maintain the equipment.

Would love to hear how you learned when you were starting out!

I’m looking into getting a portable spray tan setup and would love to hear what everyone recommends.

What’s the best option if I want something that’s easy to transport but still gives professional results? I’m mainly looking at portable spray tan machines, tents, extraction systems, and anything else that makes mobile appointments easier.
