Mobile Spray Tan?

So we've all heard of those booths you go get spray tanned in, we've heard of tanning beds, and most of us have even heard about customized airbrush tanning... but what's mobile spray tanning? Essentially, a mobile spray tan, is just a spray tan that can be brought to you!

Mobile spray tanning is the easiest, fastest way to receive a gorgeous sunless glow!  You get a great, customized spray tan, right in the privacy of your own home or any location of your choosing! The spray tanning tech will come to your home with all of her spray tan equipment.  She will even bring a pop up tanning tent to keep spray tan solution from spraying over into your home!

Pamper Yourself!

Admit it, we all need to reward ourselves once in a while!  Weather its for accomplishing a goal, or sticking to our diet, it just feels good to do something nice for yourself! Sometimes we get our hair done, our nails, buy a new purse, or that fancy pair of shoes we've been eying. But what about rewarding yourself with a sunless tan?

A sunless tan is a great reward!  It not only makes you look amazing on the outside, many spray tanning solutions actually nourish your skin.  Give your self a thanks for all you do, and reward your skin at the same time!  It's perfect!

Quick Sunless Tanning Prep

Sometimes, we just don't have the time we need to prep for our sunless tan.  Maybe we didn't want to go to work without makeup or deodorant, and spray tan on lunch.  Whatever the reason, pH balancing prep wipes are a great solution to lack of time to prep!

All you have to do is wipe down the the pH balancing prep wipes before your sunless tan!  They will remove any dirt and oil on your skin, while exfoliating and moisturizing!  They even lower the levels of pH in your skin so you are ready for optimal spray tanning results! Perfect for removing makeup too!

Choose Your Shade

Want the freedom to shower shortly after your sunless spray tan?  You'll love Kahari Rapid Tan!  With Kahara Rapid Tan spray tanning solution you choose your shade, by how long you allow it to develop!

If you want a light glow, shower off your Kahari Rapid Tan spray tanning solution 3 hour after application.  If you want a medium level tan wear it about 5 hours.  If you want the darkest look from Kahari Rapid Tan wear it 8 hours!

3 Reasons to get a Spray Tan

Ok so everyone has heard that the sun, and tanning beds aren't healthy for our skin. Other than health risks, are there any reasons sunless spray tanning is better than tanning in a tanning bed?  There are actually quite a few!  Here are 3 of the best ones!

1. Sunless tanning won't leave you with peely red skin!  Sometimes, in our attempt to have beautiful golden skin, we end up red and flaky.  Spray tanning will never leave you red or peeling!
2. You don't have to have great weather to have a great tan!  Spray tans work day or night, in any weather!
3. It can take a great deal of time to build up a tan naturally.  Sunless spray tans can leave you bronze and glowing in an instant!

Wedding Spray Tan

It's very common for brides, grooms, and wedding parties to receive a spray tan before the big day.  It really can make your skin flawless and glowing in all those ever so important wedding pictures. Since it is such a big event in your life, it's a good idea to do a trial run before your wedding day!

Get your first spray tan a couple months before your wedding day.  That way you can see how your skin will look with a sunless tan, and it has time to completely come off in case you don't like the results.  The tan you will actually have for your wedding can be done a day or two before.  I recommend getting sprayed with a clear solution that way you don't have to worry about bronzer rubbing off on your dress.  If you decide to use a solution with a bronzer, be sure to shower well after the solution has developed, making sure to remove all the bronzer.

Automatic Booth vs Custom Spray Tan

Many people love automatic spray tanning booths.  Others swear by custom, professional spray tans.  But what's the big difference between them anyway?  Don't they both do the same thing?

Well.. They both spray you with DHA tanning solution yes, but the outcomes of the two can be very different.  Many people like the automatic booths because they are completely private.  But when being sprayed by a machine like that, the attention to detail is lacking.  Custom professional spray tans done by a tech can make sure you receive a completely even, natural sunless tan.  They can even hide problem areas by contouring your body with solution!

Best Possible Spray Tanning Results

Getting the best possible spray tan really is all about how you prep for it!  There are a few things you need to do at home, before your even walk foot in the door of your favorite sunless tanning salon.

Always, always, always exfoliate!  Exfoliate 3 or 4 hours before your sunless tanning appointment! This will ensure that you have a fresh new canvas of skin for the DHA in the spray tanning solution to take to. The days before your appointment, moisturize liberty!  Spray tanning solution takes best to well moisturized skin.   Be sure the day of your session, you have no moisturizers, deodorants, or make up on your skin.  These types of products can block the sunless solution from absorbing into your skin!

Removing a Sunless Tan

Sometimes, bad sunless tans happen.  Sometimes, we love spray tanning so much that we start to get a slight build up from layering on the solution.  So... what can we do about it?  There are a few simple ways to help slough off that spray tanning solution!

Try taking a dip in a pool or hot tub!  The chlorine along with the warm water will help your sunless tan to fade quickly.  Baking soda also does wonders!  Try taking a long soak in a hot bath with about a cup of baking soda in it.  The spray tanning solution will start to fall off!  Baby oil also works well.  Generously apply baby oil to your skin and allow it to soak in.  Then soak in a hot bath!

Professional Spray Gun Caddy

Love your MaxiMist Pro, but hate that there's just no where to set your gun down?!  We've created a great solution!  The Pro Gun Caddy Holder is the perfect little caddy that will hold your professional spray tanning gun perfectly!

The Pro Gun Caddy Holder was designed to fit in the place on your MaxiMist where the standard gun would fit.  Once inserted your professional spray tanning gun has a perfect cup holder!  It's very light, and won't add any weight to your tanning equipment!

Hand Blending Solutions

Hand blending spray tanning solutions is a great way to get a more natural look for the hands and feet.  It also works well for fixing any little mess ups.  Such as when solution beads up on the chest.

All you need to hand blend spray tanning solutions is your spray tanning gun and a soft cloth.  You dampen the cloth with spray tanning solution.  For the hands, spray the hands as you normally would, then take the damp cloth and blend the solution into the creases of the fingers and up into the wrist.  You do the same for the feet, blending into the ankles.  For beading, just blend the beaded up solution into the skin, with the solution dampened cloth!

Spa Quiet HVLP

So let's face it, HVLP is the way to go when it comes to spray tanning equipment, but they can be so loud!  If you love HVLP but can't handle the noise they emit, the Noise Reduction Quiet Box is for you!

Most HVLP spray tanning equipment will fit perfectly in the Noise Reduction Quiet Box.  It's super insulated to keep the noise in, but still allows the ventilation your machine needs.  The box has wheels on it so it can easily be transferred room to room.  It even has a storage compartment on the side to hold your sunless tanning supplies!

When to Use Barrier Cream

Barrier cream can be a great tool for spray tanning!  It really can make your job as a spray tanning tech a lot easier!  Barrier cream will prevent sunless tanning solutions from developing in areas you don't want the tan to take.

Barrier cream is most typically used on the finger nails, toe nails, and palms of the hands.  It is also great for dry patches!  If you apply a thin layer of barrier cream to an area that is dry it will keep the sunless tanning solutions from over absorbing. You can also use it over tattoos to prevent temporary darkening of the colors!

Sunless Tanning Preparation

If you want great results from your sunless tanning solutions you have to prep your skin!  It is so important to take the proper steps to ensure your spray tan looks natural, and fades evenly.

Always exfoliate before applying sunless tanning solutions.  DHA only takes to the dead layer of your skin, so you want to get as much of the old skin off as possible.  That will make the tan more even, and help it to have the longest length possible. It is also important to moisturize the days before your sunless tan.  Spray tanning solution tends to over absorb in dry skin, so moisture is super important.  Also, the day of your tanning session, do not wear any makeup, deodorant, lotion or perfume.  These products can cause the solution to not take to your skin.

Sleek, Professional Booth

Have you checked out the new spray tan extraction booth from Kahuna Bay Tan?  It's really a great piece of spray tanning equipment!  It has 4 high powered extraction fans that quietly and effectively remove over sprayed solutions from the air.

How Sunless Tanning Got Started

Ever wonder how sunless tanning got started? It was a far cry from the sunless tanning products available today, but DHA was actually first recognized as a skin coloring agent in the 1920's! It was used during the x-ray process and doctors noted that it changed the color of the skin when spilled!

After that DHA was used for treating children with glycogen storage disease.  It was again noticed that when spilled, it changed the color of the skin.  A doctor experimented with this on her own skin, and after much trial and error developed the first sunless tanners.  Sunless tanning products sure have come a long way!
