Preparing for a Mobile Spray Tanning

Preparing for a Mobile Spray Tanning


You might be looking at getting a head start for a Kissed by the Caribbean glow before summer or need to give your pale winter skin that bronze glow; our mobile spray tan is the most recommended way to achieve this. Even though you are excited to get tanned at your convenience, there are mandatory steps you need to follow to avoid damaging your skin and causing unwanted results. We are based in San Antonio, Texas, and below we’ll take you through the best tips for preparing for your mobile spray tan.

The Do’s before our mobile spray tanning

  • We will help you schedule an advanced color-matching with us to help choose the right spray tan solution color for you as our client. We will provide you with professional spray tan solutions.
  • We ensure your skin is exfoliated all over at least 8 hours before your spray tan appointment. Exfoliation will shed off dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin to prevent your skin from looking patchy and uneven after the spray tan process.
  • You need to avoid waxing or shaving on the day of your spray tan appointment. This makes your skin relaxed and ready for the spray tan and avoids irritation caused by opened pores from shaving.
  • Ensure that you take a shower the night before the mobile spray tanning session. This will help get rid of sweat and products from your skin, which will make it easier for the solution to be absorbed on your skin. 
  • Ensure you communicate with us in advance. During your communication, share issues about your skin, such as allergies or any skin problems, before scheduling our mobile spray tan session for the best results. 

The Don’ts before the Mobile spray tanning:

  • To achieve the Caribbean glow, do not or avoid using a lotion or body oil before your spray tan session. Lotion and body oil will interfere with the tanning process and could lead to non-effective results.
  • Avoid using harsh elements such as retinoids at least a day before your spray tan appointment. This is because ingredients in retinoids increase cell turnover and will cause your tan to fade rapidly.
  • Avoid wearing bright and tight-fitting clothes to prevent the tan on your skin from rubbing off onto your attire. The looser fitting you have, the better. 

Do not let your busy schedule prevent you from getting that perfect tan you dream about. Follow the above right steps and tips to prepare your skin, and you will be ready for a spray tan. We will help you achieve a Kissed by the Caribbean tan that everyone will love.

Kissed by the Caribbean Mobile Spray Tanning always recommends limiting the number of times you shave post-spray tan but there comes a time when you absolutely have to, so I have put together a short tip list to help you avoid removing your spray tan.
Tanning for men
By Kissed By The Caribbean October 1, 2022
The tanning trend has become just as popular among men as it is among women. What has fueled this craze further is the images of bronzed, tanned men in billboards, movies, and TV shows.

Sellers of spray tanning equipment make the marketing claim that a spray tan can be done in two minutes with an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray tan system, the dominant choice in spray tan equipment today. That’s a bit rushed. A quality result is more important than to apply the spray tan as quickly as possible. The actual application can be done in 5 minutes. Some technicians will do two spray passes versus one, which will take a little longer. An allowance for drying time, 5 to 10 minutes, needs to be added as well. Drying time can be shortened by using direct air from the air hose or with a hair dryer.
