Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our Luxury Spray Tan technicians use the award winning machine to spray the award winning sunless formula onto your skin. The active ingredient and coloring agent in the solution dihydroxyacetone (DHA) causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids on the outer most layer of the skin. This reaction causes the color of the skin to change, producing a beautiful natural tan. DHA starts to react with the skin within 2 hours of the Luxury Spray Tan application and continues to do so for a total of 8-12 hours. As your dead skin cells are sloughed off or worn away from the surface your tan begins to fade.

  • At Luxury Spray Tan, perfection is the standard. Our expert spray tan artists are Master Certified Sunless Professionals with advanced hands-on training, and we proudly use top brands in the industry featuring hydrating, anti-aging ingredients for a flawless finish.

    We go above and beyond to deliver the best, most natural-looking spray tan in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley—every single time. Each appointment includes a personalized consultation to match your ideal shade and undertone, ensuring your glow looks even, streak-free, photo-ready, and never orange.

  • Receiving a Mobile Spray Tan with Luxury Spray Tan couldn’t be easier. We can come to your home, office, resort, and more. It only takes 10 - 20 minutes to set-up, spray the tan and pack up; you can even do it on your lunch break. Luxury Spray Tan uses a protective mobile spray tanning tent, which means there is no mess to cleanup. Mobile spray tanning is ideal for the entertainment industry, fitness competitions, concierge service for their guests, girl’s night in/out, and wedding parties, plus much more!

  • A professional application like our Luxury Mobile Spray Tan typically lasts longer than an at-home tan because it’s applied evenly by a trained expert using a higher-quality, professional-grade DHA formula. With proper care, your Luxury Spray Tan can last 7–10 days when you follow all of our recommended prep and aftercare tips.

    Be sure to visit our Tips page for the best before-and-after care steps to keep your glow flawless for as long as possible.

  • It is best to wait about 8 hours after your Basic Luxury Spray Tanning session before you shower to give the DHA time to fully react with the skin proteins. We recommend 12 hours and for best results wait 24 hours. We also offer an Express tan which allows you to rinse off within 1-4 hours later.

  • Dry, flaky skin sheds faster, which means your spray tan will fade sooner—that’s why keeping your skin hydrated after your Luxury Spray Tan is essential. Daily moisturizing helps lock in your glow and extend the life of your spray tanby slowing down your body’s natural exfoliation process, keeping your color looking smooth, even, and longer-lasting.

  • As most of the Spray Tan solutions contains a cosmetic bronzer, some of the bronze color may rub off on clothing or bed sheets. This is most likely to happen when you get dressed immediately after your Luxury Mobile Spray Tanning session. To minimize the chance of the tint transferring to clothing, we recommend that you wear loose-fitting, darker clothes after your Luxury Spray Tanning session. Also try to refrain from physical exertion that could result in you sweating until you shower and wash off the cosmetic bronzer. The cosmetic tint is water-soluble. Therefore, in most cases, the color will come out of clothing and sheets in the wash.

  • Your custom Luxury Spray Tan session typically takes just 15–20 minutes, and every minute is focused on creating a flawless, natural-looking, long-lasting spray tan tailored to your skin tone and desired glow.

  • DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is an all-natural tanning ingredient that has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for over 30 years. A professional spray tan is one of the best and safest alternatives to sunbathing, helping you achieve a beautiful, bronzed glow without the risks of UV sun exposure.

    A sunless tanning session is safe, effective, and takes just 15–20 minutes from start to finish. Your tan will continue to deepen as it develops, with full color typically appearing within 8–12 hours, and up to 24 hours for the final result.

  • Spray tanning is generally considered safe with no known side effects for most clients, however we always recommend consulting with your physician before receiving a Luxury Spray Tan, especially if you have any medical concerns. If you are pregnant, please note that results may vary due to natural hormonal changes in the body.

  • We don’t do orange! After research and testing almost every product in the market, we have found incredible products in Norvell that are truly the best solutions on the market. They do not use the usual dyes that produce the orange discoloration that you may have experienced in the past from other sunless tanning products. We take the high grade DHA Norvell Solutions and customize them to your skin type, which will give you better and longer lasting results.

  • Yes! You can absolutely get your Luxury Spray Tan in the evening and go to sleep shortly after your session. You may notice a small amount of cosmetic bronzer transferring onto your sheets, but it typically washes out in the laundry. For best results, avoid sleeping in or on delicate fabrics such as wool, silk, spandex, or lycra for the first 8–10 hours after your tan, just to be safe.
