FAQs

This is the question that our clients most frequently hear! After a Spray Tan they look great, and feel glamorous, sexy, slimmer, healthy, attractive and confident.

We use Xen Tan, which has olive undertones, so it provides the most convincing natural tan possible – there’s not a chance of it turning you that dreaded orange colour. It won’t streak, nor will it dry out the skin. Each product is packed with premium moisturisers, which make it a great tan for those with particularly dry skin.

Xen Tan’s unique Time Release ingredient (Lexorez) delivers a deeper tan that develops gradually and lasts longer – so say bye-bye to orange ankles and elbows.

Lots! You won’t have to sleep in it to wait for it to develop; the instant colour will give you a tan in minutes – you’re all set to ‘tan & go’!

It provides a long-lasting fake-tan and fades evenly just like a normal tan, not like how other fake tans fade.

Xen Tan has been specifically developed to avoid all of the drawbacks associated with some fake tan products, and provides a streak-free, moisture-rich product that smells great! And, most importantly, it will give you a beautifully bronzed look… ready for any occasion!

Xen Tan products also contain the following: Green Tea, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Gingko Biloba. It’s the ultimate tan for summer with beauty editors and celebrity fans that wouldn’t be without Xen-Tan.

No. Xen Tan smells delicious, so you can happily wear it in public whilst developing.

As long as you follow the easy Aftercare Tips we will leave you with, your tan can last for up to 8 days, and will fade evenly, like a normal tan.

Not long at all! It takes just 5-10 minutes to set up our mess-free booth, and then 10-15 minutes to complete the Spray Tan misting process. You could even have it done in your lunch hour at work, it’s that quick & easy.

Xen-Tans professional tanning solution is paraben free!

Xen-Tan strive to use natural ingredients wherever possible and many of their products are paraben free.

Yes, Xen-Tan’s Spray Tan solutions are alcohol free!

We recommend that pregnant ladies, those with breathing difficulties, and those with any allergies to tanning products, should avoid Spray Tanning.

24 hours before, shave, wax or exfoliate (when exfoliating, concentrate on drier areas such as elbows, knees and ankles). Make sure any moisturisers you use are oil free. If it’s your first professional spray tan, you should have a patch test done (at least 24 hours before) to ensure you are not allergic to spray tan products.

Immediately before, remove any makeup, deodorant or moisturisers, or anything that could act as a barrier between your skin and the spray tanning product. This could lead to discoloration.

Your therapist will moisturise any particularly dry areas such as hands, feet, knees and elbows, using an oil-free moisturiser. After your tan, your therapist will wipe over your fingernails, palms and toenails to prevent discolouration.

You should wear whatever you feel most comfortable in; most clients go topless but wear a dark thong or similar, and some wear a dark bikini.

After application it’s always recommended to wear loose, dark clothing. Bras and shoes can be particularly bad at leaving marks, so try to wear open shoes (flip flops are ideal) and leave your bra off for as long as possible. If you can, try and stay clear of light fabrics for three to four hours.

Don’t get wet! Avoid exercise and swimming whilst your tan develops, or anything that could cause excessive perspiration. After eight hours your tan should be fully developed, but for best results leave on overnight before showering, then pat yourself dry and moisturise daily.

Our Mobile Spray Tanning team will bring along a pop-up booth, specifically designed to protect your home from any mess.

Xen-Tan is water soluble, so if any spray does settle in your home it can be easily cleaned up.

Xen-Tan only have one type of tanning solution which suits everyone. How dark your skin goes will depend on your skin type. Your skin will react more readily with repeat treatments, so ‘top up tans’ on a regular basis will help you go darker more naturally.

Please note, Xen-Tan do not recommend having more than one coat of tan in one appointment. As long as you have full coverage, the tan does not get any darker with extra spray and therefore your therapist will only spray you once. If you would still like an extra layer, a fee of £5 will incur.

Very easily, all bookings are taken online and we accept all major debit & credit cards. For our Mobile Beauticians’ safety, and your convenience, we do not accept cash or cheque payments.

Mobile Spray Tan Bristol no longer offer other mobile beauty services and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Absolutely, loads of men do! You’ll need to wear dark boxer shorts for your tan.

Please note, not all of our therapists have opted in to do male spray tanning so it may not be available in your area. Get in touch if you are thinking of booking and we will endeavor to allocate a therapist for you.

Xen Tan formulations contain a time release ingredient (Lexorez) which makes the tan last longer and slows down the development process, eliminating the orange, dry and patchy results normally associated with self tans.  This complex ingredient helps Xen Tan to achieve more olive tones by controlling the amount of DHA that gives sunless tanners their color that is released onto the skin.
