Mobile spray tan questions, answered

We come to you. Your technician arrives with professional spray equipment, sets up in a small area of your home or hotel room, matches your shade, applies the tan, and walks you through aftercare before packing up.

You don’t drive anywhere, wait in a lobby, or drive home in loose clothes with a developing tan. You get the appointment where you’ll actually spend the next few hours.

How mobile spray tanning works in Denver

The spray itself takes only a few minutes per person; setup, shade consultation, and a short dry time make up the rest of the visit. We’ll tell you how long to plan for when we confirm your booking.

Groups take longer because each person is sprayed one at a time. We plan the group schedule with the organizer so nobody waits around half-dressed.

Yes. Hotels, short-term rentals, and bridal suites work well as long as there’s a little floor space and you have permission to have a guest in the room.

Tell us about parking, building access, or front-desk check-in when you book. If a venue or building has rules about services on site, please check before the appointment.

About the size of a closet floor, roughly 6 by 6 feet, near an outlet, with good light if possible. A bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen corner usually works.

We cover the floor and nearby surfaces before we start. Hard floors are easiest, but carpeted rooms work too.

Most spray tans look their best for about 5 to 7 days and then fade gradually. How long yours lasts depends on your skin, your prep, and how you care for it afterward.

Hot showers, long baths, swimming, heavy sweating, and exfoliating all speed up fading. Moisturizing daily with a gentle, oil-free lotion helps it fade evenly.

Aftercare guide

Shave or wax and exfoliate 24 to 48 hours before, then arrive with clean, dry skin: no lotion, deodorant, makeup, or perfume on the day.

Have loose, dark clothing and slip-on shoes ready for afterward, and tie long hair up.

Full prep checklist

Wear whatever you’re comfortable in during the spray: undergarments, a swimsuit, or nothing. Afterward, wear loose, dark clothing and slip-on shoes until your first rinse.

Tight waistbands, bra straps, leggings, and socks can rub or mark a developing tan. The guide color can transfer onto light fabrics, so skip white clothing and pale sheets until you rinse.

A Signature tan needs several hours to develop, so many people book in the evening and rinse the next morning. Your technician confirms your exact rinse time at the appointment.

Your first rinse should be lukewarm water only, with no soap, scrubbing, or shampoo on your body. Pat dry gently. The guide color rinses away and the developed tan stays.

First-rinse instructions

Rapid-Rinse ($105) uses a faster-developing solution, so you can rinse sooner instead of waiting overnight. How long you wait depends on the depth you want, and your technician gives you a specific rinse time at the end of your appointment.

The color keeps developing for several hours after you rinse, so the final shade shows up later that day. It suits morning appointments, travel days, and anyone who’d rather not sleep in a developing tan.

Wait until after your first rinse to work out, and ideally a day or two after that before heavy sweating, hot yoga, saunas, or swimming.

Sweat can streak a tan that is still developing. Chlorine and salt water speed up fading, so rinse off and moisturize after swimming.

No. A spray tan is not sunscreen and gives no protection from UV rays. Keep using sunscreen and sun protection as you normally would.

This matters in Denver, where the high altitude means stronger UV exposure. A spray tan changes the color of your skin’s surface; it does not change how your skin reacts to the sun.
