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.

  • It 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.


Understanding the Science Behind Spray Tanning


Spray tanning uses a solution that contains dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This ingredient reacts with the amino acids in your skin, creating a temporary tan. It's important to understand how this process works to achieve the best results.


The Role of DHA


DHA is safe and effective. It darkens the skin by interacting with the outer layer. However, overapplication can lead to undesirable results. That’s why spacing your sessions is crucial.


Skin Types and Tanning


Everyone's skin is different. Some people tan easily, while others may struggle. Knowing your skin type can help you determine how often you should tan.


Maintaining Your Tan


After your spray tan, you want to keep that glow for as long as possible. Here are some tips:


  • Moisturize daily: Keeping your skin hydrated helps maintain your tan.

  • Avoid long baths: Prolonged exposure to water can fade your tan faster.

  • Use gentle cleansers: Harsh soaps can strip your tan away.
