Exfoliate 24 hours prior to your spray tan with a basic loofah or wash rag. Also, stay away from any heavy exfoliation oils.

​

Shaving should be done 12-24 hours before your spray tan. Streaks may be an issue in your final tan if you shave too close to your appointment due to the wax from the shaving bar. This also allows time for the pores to close properly, if the don’t , excess spray tan can lodge in those pores and may cause the tan to appear spotty.

​

Manicures, pedicures, and waxing should al be done prior to your spray tan. Make sure to have loose fitting clothes that fully cover your body for after your tan to avoid skin to skin contact. 

The length of your spray tan will depend on the maintenance afterwards. Most people notice their tan begin to fade after about 4-7 days. Moisturizing and staying hydrated are two important factors that help maintain color. Refrain from showering in hot water to prolong your tan as well.

I recommend waiting until you have completely exfoliated any previous spray tans or self tanner off. This will ensure a smooth application and no dark spots.

I will help you decide on the best solution an/or tone for you the day of your spray tan. Based on the solution used, we will give you a timeline of when to rinse of.

Your rinse time will depend on the solution we use. Please follow my directions given to you at the time of your spray tan to achieve your optimal tan. Rinsing too soon may cause the tan to appear lighter than intended. Rinsing too late may cause the tan to look orange or unnatural.

Absolutely NO soap! A really slow rinse with Luke-warm water is best. Only use your hands to remove the bronzer/solution, and focus your attention to your legs, behind your arms, in your ears, and around your nose, etc. The #1 cause for streaks is that the bronzer.solution was not rinsed off properly and can stain the skin for a few days.

Hop back in the shower and do another rinse. If that doesn’t help, rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab will help to remove the streak. Keep in mind that it will also remove the tan in the area you apply it to. I do not reccomend respirating if this occurs.

Wipe the areas you don’t wish to have solution with alcohol pads. The alcohol will help to remove the solution.

Wait at least 12 hours AFTER your initial rinse before applying any kind of lotion. CereVe is a recommended brand of lotion to moisturize and extend the life of your spray tan. Moisturizing is the key to prolonging your spray tan! Moisturizing twice daily will give you the best results. It is also important to stay hydrated and drink lots of water throughout the day,

Wait 24 hours for your spray tan to fully develop after rinsing. If it is still not dark enough, let me know and we can try a different solution at your next appointment.

Try rinsing again, soak in a bath tub, or sit in a sauna/jacuzzi. These methods will remove some of the bronzer and lighten the color.

Wait 24 hours. For best results, use soap only where necessary to avoid depleting the color. Also, try and minimize scrubbing and shaving as those are forms of exfoliation and they can strip away the tan.

Yes! The most important thing to remember is that the solution does not contain any UV protection/sunscreen. I recommend using a water based SPF over your spray tan. You will still be able to develop a tan naturally in the sun while keeping your skin protected.

NO! I do not advise having a spray tan over peeling skin. The full peel and heal process can take anywhere between 3-6 weeks. You will have to reschedule your appointment if peeling occurs.

Yes, it will remove the majority of it and/or lighten it. Seawater, chlorine, and hot tubs can accelerate the fading of the tan. I recommend wearing waterproof sunscreen to help repel the water.

Ladies, I will have disposable thong underwear for those that want it. You may also tan nude, in a swim suite, underwear and a bra, etc. Tan in whatever makes you feel the most comfortable! If you are currently breastfeeding please be sure to wear a full coverage bra during your session. This will ensure no bronzer/solution gets on the baby.

​

Gentlemen, please wear a pair of boxer briefs. They can be long or short, as long as they cover your crotch!

​

Please keep in mind that the cosmetic bronzer may get on whatever you choose to wear during your session. I recommend wearing items you don’t mind getting dirty! In most cases the cosmetic bronzer comes off in the washer.

DHA is FDA approved and only penetrates the outermost layer of the skin. There is no evidence that DHA is harmful. However, I do recommend that you consult with your physician first.

Not until your incision(s) have fully healed and you have been given clearance from your surgeon.

Not until the tattoo has completely healed.

Only with signed parental consent and a parent/guardian present.

I recommend scheduling a patch test prior to a full tan. Send me an email and we can arrange this!

Unfortunately, there is a chance that some of the cosmetic bronzer may transfer onto other surfaces. To minimize this, be sure to do a through initial rinse! In most cases any bronzer can be removed from fabric in the washer.

You can book on this site by clicking on the booking tab above and following the prompts! If you don’t see.a day/time that works with your schedule you can always send an email to mobilespraytansbyabby@gmail.com and we can set an appointment that way!   

The best time to get your spray tan would be 2-3 days before your event.

You may work out as normal after your initial rinse. I do suggest that you refrain from wearing tight clothing that could rub your fresh spray tan.

No, you should not appear orange with a Dolce Glow tan. It is a high quality solution that should not make anyone appear orange.

Soak in baby oil for an hour then jump into the shower to exfoliate everything off of the skin. You can also shower with hot water and exfoliate the color off. Japanese scrubs and exfoliating mitts can help to remove the tan as well.
