How to use Spray Tan Machine

A spray tan machine helps you create the perfect tan, weather you use a spray tan machine in your home for personal use or as part of your business, by following these steps it will allow you to make a professional looking job every time.

Exfoliation

Properly exfoliating before spraying on the solution is vital. This is because the top laver of dead skin is always coming off naturally as new skin is formed underneath. If you don’t exfoliate properly you will usually get an uneven effect. On top of this your tan will not last nearly as long as if you had done a thorough job of removing all the dead skin.

Moisturizing Barrier Cream

The dry areas of the body such as the feet, hands knees and elbows require a little barrier cream as the spray tan solution will be absorbed more in these areas, so they will look darker than the rest of the body

Spraying

If you have a spray tan booth, you will find it much easier to prevent overspray around the room.

If you don’t have a spray booth, spray in an area that has good ventilation, a bathroom or laundry are ideal areas, places without absorbent surfaces are best.

Place a lager towel or drop sheet on the floor to stand on avoiding stains on the floor.

Although most types of spray tan solution are vegetable based and non toxic, it’s still better to avoid inhaling the spray. If possible set up an air filtration machine to deal with any overspray.

Clothing

It’s best to remove all clothing before spraying or wear a bikini style swim suit for maximize exposed skin areas.

Start the process

Add 2 to 3 ounces of spray tanning solution to the cartridge of your spray tan machine and secure the top tightly.

Airflow

Set the airflow on low for a light tan, the higher the setting the darker the tan will be.

Spray Pattern

For thin areas such as legs and arms, set the spray pattern to vertical and for wider areas such as the body use horizontal.

·       Hold the gun straight using sweeping motions to achieve an even tanning effect

·       Avoid overlapping the sprayed areas

·       The front and back of the body should be sprayed using vertical sweeps from neck to hips

·       The legs and arms should be also be sprayed in vertical sweeps

·       The arms should be raised for easier application avoid overlapping, starting at the armpit down to the wrist

·       Spray each leg separately starting from the hips and moving to the ankle.

Keep the knee bent and lightly spray this area in a sweeping motion. Turn the leg so the inner thigh is exposed for the spray

·       The Face should be sprayed starting with the forehead, from temple to chin and on both sides in circular motions

·       The hands and Feet should be sprayed lightly

The spray needs to set for at least 10 minutes before you replace any clothing, but longer is better, then wear loose fitting clothing

What are the common problems with spray tan machines?

When using a spray tan machine, it’s critical that you’ve maintained the machine properly and it’s adjusted correctly to get the best results.

In this article we look at some of the common problems people experience with spray tan machines and the simple solutions to quickly troubleshoot them

The spray tan machine is not working

Check your power connection!

Is it plugged into a live power outlet and switched on at the socket?

Is the on button on your spray tan machine is set to the on mode?

Leaking or splattering

Having a leaking or splattering solution will cause a very uneven tan and a waste solution.

·       This is usually caused because there is too much spray tan solution in your spray gun reservoir or cup.

Check the directions for filling the gun reservoir and the maximum amount to place in it.

·       Ensure that the thread on the reservoir cup is clean and that its screwed up correctly

·       The gun nozzle may be blocked, to fix this, spray some clean water through the system to clean it out. Make sure you clean it properly each time you use it

No air is flowing from the spray gun

·       Ensure that the hose from the compressor is fitted correctly and the compressor is sending air to the gun

·       Check the tip of the spray gun to ensure it’s not blocked, so spray some clean water through it to clear it out

Parts of your spray tan machine are hot

It’s important that your spray tan machine and associated equipment is well ventilated and has enough airflow around it for proper cooling

·       Make sure nothing is obstructing the airflow around your spray tan machine and equipment

·       Regularly clean the components and internal fans so there is no build up of materials to obstruct air flow and also check the exhaust system for obstructions

Uneven fading or patchy result

Using a spray tanning solution containing alcohol can cause the skin to dry out unevenly, so use water based solutions

Streaky or runny results

This is usually caused because the spray gun is too close to the body or the solution used is too heavy, thick or oily. Use a lighter solution and try to spray the thinnest possible coating without too much overlapping while maintain the correct distance

The tan does not develop

This is caused by having a barrier on the skin such as soap residue, moisturizer or perfume. To ensure this does not happen, exfoliate starting from the head and work down the body the rinse with clean water.

Towel dry before tanning and allow time for the solution to set after spraying.

Face fades faster than the rest of the tan

This can happen with applying and removing makeup or washing the face too often, so moisturize and have a healthy skin care regime.

By ensuring you properly clean the spray tan machine and associated equipment after every use most operating issues will be eliminated.

Normally the tan will dry in about ten minutes, depending on the solution and the spray tan machine you’re using.

Important things to know when cleaning a spray tan booth

Whether your spray tan booth is for private or professional use, just like any other piece of expensive equipment, it needs to be cleaned regularly and properly as well as being repaired when necessary to maintain it in its best possible working condition. Doing so will ensure your warranties and guarantees will be honoured if required.

If you use your spray tan booth as part of your beauty business it can be difficult to find the time to do regular cleaning, but fortunately cleaning your spray tan booth and the rest of your spray tanning equipment is a reasonably simple and straight forward procedure.

If you are using a portable spray tan tent as a spray booth, it should be cleaned after each use. This may not be possible in someone else’s home or area, so it should be wiped clean with an absorbent towel. Once wiped, place it in its waterproof carry bag and take to the next job or home again.

At the end of each session the spray gun needs to be rinsed thoroughly inside and out and then place into the carry bag along with the hoses and any accessory you use. Once you get home or your usual place of work the portable spray booth tent needs to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water and a very mild soap or detergent.

See the spray tan booth’s manufacturer’s directions regarding the types of cleaner that are recommended to use so you don’t harm the fabric. Using a harsh or strong alkaline detergent can damage the waterproofing property of your spray tan booth or the stitching holding it together.

Cleaning your spray tan booth

If you have an outside area, normally that is the best place to clean your spray tan booth, but if not, then the shower or bath tub are also suitable places.

Place your spray tan booth upside down so you can rinse out the inside and use your spray tan applicator to thoroughly rinse all the surfaces. A recommended cleaner can be used or a mild soap and a soft scrubbing brush will remove most of the tan spray color as they are plant and water based, so easily clean off in water.

The spray color washing away from your booth will not harm your bath or shower.

Once thoroughly cleaned, which normally takes only a few minutes, your spray tan booth should be completely dried in indirect sunlight or in an area with a breeze.

If you need to dry on a cold day towel dry the inside and outside of your spray tan booth and leave it to finish drying under a fan.

If you have a fixed tan booth wash it in the same way and if it’s not fitted with a drain plug use a wet and dry vacuum cleaner to remove any excess water from inside. Don’t forget to clean the candle or oil sent lamps if using. 

Spray tan booths are easy to clean if done regularly. Normally, after each session the inside should be wiped down with a clean towel. A damp cloth with a very mild soap can be used if needed and then rinsed off when you clean the spray tan gun.

Top Things to consider when getting a spray tan kit

· It’s best to arrive at your tanning clinic without makeup on

This is usually an all over tan

You need to think about taking all your clothes off (you can wear a thong or briefs if you must) as any clothing will stop the spray, so you will have white areas in those places.

· Things you need to bring

You will need to take some disposable pants or a thong that you can wear home after your tan has dried. You will also need a hair net to hold your hair up and out of the way

Your therapist is used to matching people’s new colour with their overall look, so will have some helpful suggestions, but you need to think about what you want to achieve.

If you want the tan to give a bit of colour, so you look good at a wedding you may consider a slightly lighter shade so you look great in photos. If you’re going on a two week holiday, then a slightly darker shade may be in order so it lasts longer

· The Tanning Tent

Usually, the tanning is done in a tanning tent, that has an opening at the front. Most often the formula is sprayed starting at the face area and moving down the body, but each therapist will have their own particular technique and way of applying the formula

They will ask you to close your eyes and hold your breath when they are spraying and advise when to open your eyes and breathe again during the process as well as giving you some simple instruction on how to stand and to move in certain ways, this is to ensure you get an even tan across any wrinkles or natural folds in the skin

· Usually, Two all over layers

It is normal for the therapist to apply two very thin layers all over your body, but this depends on the therapist and the desired effect

· After Spraying

The spray will naturally dry very quickly, but normally your blown dry using an air hose and your toe and finger nails are cleaned as these areas can have a buildup of colour

Once you’re dried, you can dress, but you should wear loose fitting clothes to avoid any rubbing as it can take up to eight hours for the formula to set properly, but your therapist will advise you on the particular type of spray used and its requirements.
