spray tan while

looking UV free tan available. Our products are, the best quality
tanning solutions on the market containing DHA and other safe/FDA
approved ingredients. Spray tanning is a great idea for those
concerned with skin care and prevention of skin cancer.
Q.
I already spray tan at a salon or in a booth, why would I call
Bring Me The Sun?
A.
Our clientele desire a level of
precision and accuracy that can only be delivered during a one-on-one,
hand applied session, while at the same time requires convenience
that is conducive to their busy lifestyle/schedule. Bring
Me The Sun
offers the best of both worlds as well as competitive pricing.
Q.
How long does it take to get sprayed?
A.
It takes approximately 3-5 minutes per person.
Unlike airbrush systems, HVLP covers larger areas more quickly
and evenly so you are not standing disrobed while a technician
painstakingly sprays you with an airbrush. So for Tanning Parties
plan to accommodate all of your guests.
Q.
Will I turn orange or have streaks?
A.
Bring Me The Sun Mobile Tanning will give you a worry free
tan. We guarantee a streak free tan that you will never have to
rub in or be bothered with. No more orange between your fingers
or knees! Make sure to exfoliate before your service to avoid any
over-saturation on the dry spots!
Q.
Why not just use a regular tanning bed?
A.
Unlike Tanning beds, spray tans are not harmful for your skin. Tanning
beds still deliver harmful UV rays to your body. Plus our spray
tan is instant! You will not need to lay in a bed for 10-12 min
day after day to get results. With the spray tan you will not have
redness or peeling unlike a tanning bed. Stretch marks look so much
better after a spray tan!
Q.
Why should I choose your service over other spray tans offered in
tanning salons?
A.
Some areas of your body get sprayed to light or to heavy leaving
you with an uneven tan. Booths leave blotches and fade uneven. Plus
a professional is not there making sure that you tan is perfect!
Q.
Do I have to be naked?
A.
You do not have to be naked. It is your choice
how you want to look. If you want no tan lines then you will be
naked. We do provide disposable wear to cover your areas that you
are shy about. If you want to wear a swim suit, please pick a dark
colored suit or an old one.
Q.
How do I prepare for my tan?
A.
EXFOLIATE ALL OVER! Make sure to shave and
wax at least 24 hours before your spray tan. Your skin MUST be clean
from all lotions, perfumes and deodorant. Lotion and deodorant act
as barriers and can even turn your tan green.
Q.
Aftercare?
A.
We
will give you a after care check list to take home. Please wear
loose clothes to wear after the spray. The solution will rub off
on your clothes, but it does not stain. You will need to STAY away
from water for the next 8 hours. This allows the solution to set
and develop evenly all over. In the morning make sure to take a
shower (do not go to the gym until you shower). You will see the
solution wash off in the shower (this is normal). Then apply the
tan extender lotion.
Q.
How long will it last?
A.
Our product will last between 5-14 days depending
on the individual. The tan slowly fades just like a tan that you
get from the sun or tanning bed. Make sure to extend your tan with
our tan extender lotion.
Q.
Will you drive to any location?
A.
Yes we try to travel to our clients! Of course
our charges will increase depending on the location. Rates are generally
applied to a 20 mile radius be sure to contact your tecnician to
confirm this before making plans.
Q.
Is it okay to get a tan if pregnant or nursing?
A.
Typically, it is safe to use tanning lotion
while you are pregnant. The active ingredient Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)
is a three-carbon sugar that is non-toxic and therefore is not harmful
to you or your baby. DHA works by interacting with your dead skin
cells to produce brown pigment called melanoidin. DHA does not go
beyond this layer of cells and is not absorbed into the body. Skin
is constantly shedding dead skin cells and renewing itself, and
so the tan fades as this happens. Please check with your doctor
