FAQs
Got spray tanning questions? We have answers.
What is spray tanning, and how does it work?
Spray tanning is a form of self-tanner, where a fine mist is sprayed onto your body. Mist contains an ingredient called DHA, or Dihydroxyacetone, as well as Erythrulose. These ingredients react with the amino acids in the dead layers of the skin and turn brown. Unlike suntan, spray tan does not result in a natural tan that protects against the UV light rays. Spray tan is a great option for an event or vacation. Also, perfect for fair skinned members. Our convenient automated spray tanning booths deliver a full-body spray tan fast, in under 3 minutes.
How fast does a spray tan develop and how long does it last?
A spray tan’s color develops in 6-24 hours and lasts about 3-10 days. Use Luminova®’s professional prep and daily aftercare products designed to accelerate, enhance, and extend your spray tan results. For best results, avoid showering for at least 6–8 hours after your session—or 4 hours if you’ve used an accelerator, primer, or rapid solution. We do not recommend allowing the solution to dwell on your skin for over 8 hours. This allows full color development and helps your glow last longer.

How should I prepare for a spray tanning session?
For your best, longest-lasting glow: exfoliate and shave 24 hours beforehand to create a smooth canvas. Arrive with clean, product-free skin, no lotion, perfumes, deodorant, or makeup. Right before your session, apply a spray tan enhancing primer to help the color go on evenly. After your spray session, slip into loose, dark clothing to let your glow develop!
Will a spray tan protect me from sunburn?
Nope! Your bronze may be fierce, but it’s not sunscreen! Eventhough you’ll look gorgeously bronzed, your skin still reacts to the sun just like it normally would. Keep that in mind if you’re planning outdoor time!
Can I choose the shade of my spray tan?
Yes! You can select the depth of your color based on your skin tone, desired look, and event timing. Options range from light for a subtle glow, to dark for a deep, event or vacation-style tan. Choose one of our bronzer enhancers to customize the tone of your spray tan and achieve a more radiant, tailored glow. Our trained team of consultants will help guide you to the best shade for your goals.
How soon before an event should I get a spray tan?
For best results, get your spray tan 1–2 days before your event. This timing allows the color to fully develop and settle, giving you a natural, even glow. It also gives you time for a gentle rinse and any touch-ups if needed—without risking fading from showers, sweat, or skincare products.
Are there any risks associated with spray tanning?
Spray tanning is a safe and trusted way to glow. DHA has been FDA approved for external use for decades! The FDA’s recommendation for spray tan safety centers around avoiding inhalation and eye exposure during application. Wearing undergarments, goggles, lip balm, and plugs for ears and nose is recommended, although not required.
Can pregnant women get spray tans?
Many moms-to-be do spray tan, but we always recommend checking with your doctor first.
How do I maintain my spray tan?
Avoid exfoliants, harsh cleansers, long baths and hot tubs – chlorine and prolonged water exposure are no match for a lasting spray tan. After showering, pat your skin dry instead of rubbing. Use professional spray tan aftercare products daily to moisturize and extend your glow—especially our extending formulas, which contain a dash of DHA to gently restore color lost through daily wear.
How do I touch-up my spray tan?
To keep your spray tan looking fresh between sessions, especially on frequently shaved areas like legs, touch-ups are key. Use our spray-in-a-can for a fine, even mist that mimics your original tan. Hold the can about 6–8 inches from your skin and apply in smooth, sweeping motions. For more control, especially around knees, ankles, or feet, use our tanning mousse. Apply with a mitt in circular motions to blend and build color gradually. If your facial color fades from anti-aging skincare, boost it back with our DHA-based face products. They’re gentle, effective, and designed to restore your glow overnight, without disrupting your routine.
