Spray tanning is one of the fastest ways to achieve a flawless, sun-kissed glow—but only when done correctly. At BodyBing Tanning, we want you to get the best results every time, especially when using our automated spray booths.

Here are the biggest spray tan DON’Ts to avoid 👇


❌ DON’T Spray Tan Too Frequently


Just because you can use your membership often… doesn’t mean you should.

Spray tanning every day or every other day is NOT recommended.


👉 The sweet spot?Wait at least 96-120 hours between sessions

Why?

  • Layers of solution can build up on the skin

  • This leads to orange tones instead of natural bronze

  • Can cause peeling, cracking, and blotchiness


Think of spray tanning like applying a fresh coat of paint—you need a clean surface first.


❌ DON’T Skip Exfoliating


This is one of the biggest mistakes we see.

If you’re not exfoliating between sessions, your tan will:

  • Fade unevenly

  • Stick to dry patches

  • Look patchy or streaky


👉 Pro Tip:Exfoliate your entire body before your next spray tan to remove old solution and dead skin cells.


❌ DON’T Treat Spray Tanning Like a Daily Routine


Spray tanning is not meant to be used like a daily beauty product.


It’s best used for:

  • Vacations 🌴

  • Weddings 💍

  • Events 🎉

  • Nights out 🍸


Overusing it can actually make your results look worse—not better.


❌ DON’T Apply Over Old, Fading Tan


Spraying over an old tan without prepping your skin can cause:

  • Uneven color buildup

  • Dark spots or patches

  • A dull, unnatural finish


Always start with a clean, exfoliated base for the best glow.


❌ DON’T Ignore Proper Skin Prep


Before your session:

  • Avoid lotions, oils, or perfumes

  • Wear loose, dark clothing

  • Make sure skin is clean and dry


Skipping prep = compromising your results.


☀️ Final Glow Tip


At BodyBing, our unlimited options are designed for flexibility—not overuse.


✨ The best spray tans come from:

  • Proper spacing (96-120 hours)

  • Good exfoliation habits

  • Using it strategically for events



A great spray tan isn’t about how often you do it—it’s about how well you do it.

Take care of your skin, follow these simple DON’Ts, and your glow will always look natural, smooth, and flawless.
