About spray tan
A spray tan is a sunless tan applied with an airbrush gun or spray system. The active ingredient, DHA, reacts with the top layer of the skin to develop a tan over a few hours, without UV exposure. The therapist works quickly over the body in sections, adjusting the depth of colour and paying attention to knees, elbows, hands and feet where tans tend to catch.
Shades range from a light, natural glow to a deep holiday tan, and many solutions now include a guide colour so you can see where it has been applied. Rapid formulas can be rinsed after one to three hours; classic ones are left on for eight. It is the go-to before weddings, proms, holidays and competitions, and mobile tanners are common for group bookings at home.
The spray itself takes ten to fifteen minutes. Exfoliate and shave a day before, arrive with clean skin free of moisturiser or deodorant, and wear loose dark clothing afterwards. The tan lasts five to seven days.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a spray tan cost?
Usually £20 to £35 at a studio or salon outside London, and £30 to £50 in central London or for a mobile visit. Group and bridal party bookings are often priced per person.
How long before an event should I have a spray tan?
One to two days before, so the colour has fully developed and you have had a first shower. Book a test tan a few weeks earlier if it is for a wedding.
What should I wear to a spray tan?
Most people wear dark underwear or disposable briefs, which your therapist provides. Bring loose, dark clothing and open shoes for afterwards, as tight straps can mark the tan while it develops.
