Deity Mobile Spray Tan Service FAQS
We come to you, set up our tent, and spray you in your chosen location. You’ll get a message when we’re on our way, so you know when to get ready. Please have a well-lit space near an outlet for us, and note that our tent is 7 ft tall with a 4x4 ft base. The tan can feel a little chilly, so warm up your space in colder months or keep it cool in the summer. ✨
You shouldn’t end up orange when the solution and timing are matched to your skin. Orange usually happens when a tan is too dark, overapplied, or left on too long. We’re known for a natural-looking finish, and we’ll look at your skin tone to suggest the right rinse time for a rapid tan or mix an overnight formula that complements you.
Shave and exfoliate the day before your appointment. If you need to do it the same day, make sure it’s at least 4 hours before. Arrive with no makeup, deodorant, or lotion on your skin, and plan to wear loose, baggy clothing after your tan. Stop retinol at least 3 days before. Any waxing, facials, massage, or nail services should be done the day before, and your spray tan should be the last beauty step before your event.
For rapid tans, rinse in 2–5 hours. For overnight tans, rinse after about 8 hours or when you wake up. Your first rinse should be water only—no soap yet. After that, use a clear shower gel, avoid bar soaps or colored gels, and moisturize daily. Drink lots of water, too. Your color will fully develop in about 24 hours and typically lasts 7–10 days with good aftercare.
DO NOT work out until you rinsed the initial bronzer color off. When working out with a tan, you want to make sure to pat dry your sweat, rinse off after the gym immediately. Tight clothing will cause more friction which will result in losing your tan faster, drink LOTS of water and moisturize daily after each shower.
We recommend not working out for the first 24 hours.
Spray tans are perfect for vacations. It allows you to go with a glow!
Many clients get a tan for this reason! Keep in mind if you're going to be in sand and water, make sure to rinse off with fresh water and make sure to moisturize daily. Pools/saltwater/chlorine will break down the tan faster. We recommend avoiding hot tubs.

Spray tans are essentially a stain on the skin, and our skin sheds every 21 days. Too speed up this process, exfoliate to remove those dead skin cells. This will help any lingering tan come off. This is a gradual process, so give yourself multiple days to get all the old tan off. You can use exfoliation mitts, scrubs, warm baths, jump in a pool or hot tub. Any old tan still on will show on your new spray tan.
Whether you been sprayed with a rapid or overnight...you do not want to get wet, sweat, have skin on skin contact (on your own body and with others until you rinse off)
No dishes, no working out, no cuddles. You want to relax, watch a movie, read a book, take a nap, etc.
Don't make plans to go out, or run around. Stay home lol.
Please consult with your doctor prior to booking! Wear nipple covers or a bra while you are getting sprayed. Keep in mind no skin to skin contact, so pump or nurse closest to your appointment. Prep bottles ahead of time to avoid latching during development. The tan will transfer on the to the baby if feeding before you rinse. Please wait until rinse to feed.
It depends on how much time you have before you need to rinse. Rapid solutions are great when you want to rinse sooner, while overnight solutions work well if you need to leave the tan on longer. For rapid tans, your rinse timing can be: 2 hours for light, 3 hours for medium, 4 hours for dark, and 5 hours for extra dark. Overnight solutions are available in medium through extra dark. We can also help you choose during your appointment.
We do not recommend showering right before this appointment. DHA (the main ingredient that makes you tan) can not thrive in a wet environment. This also goes for working out or sweating right before an appointment. If you must shower, try to do it at least 4 hours before the appointment. Avoiding products like dove, or olay. We always recommend Native body wash. Doing a cool rinse before hopping out. Pat dry. Do not wear tight clothing before being sprayed.
