Sunless Tanning Myths Debunked by BodiBronze

We know that achieving a perfect, sun-kissed glow without UV exposure is not only possible but much better for your skin. Yet, despite the growing popularity of spray tans, there are still many misconceptions. Let’s clear the air and debunk some of the most common myths about sunless tanning, so you can feel confident when stepping into your next BodiBronze spray tan session.


Myth 1: Spray Tans Look Orange

One of the biggest concerns we hear from first-time clients is the fear of leaving with an orange hue. We get it—no one wants to look like a walking carrot! Thankfully, spray tanning technology has come a long way. At BodiBronze, we use advanced tanning solutions that are specially formulated to match your skin's natural undertones, giving you a radiant, bronze glow that looks completely natural. Our skilled technicians tailor the application to ensure a flawless finish every time. Say goodbye to orange nightmares!


Myth 2: Spray Tans Don’t Last

A common misconception is that spray tans fade too quickly to be worth it. While it’s true that sunless tans aren’t permanent, a high-quality spray tan can last up to 7-10 days with proper care. The secret to longevity lies in your prep and aftercare routine. Exfoliating before your appointment, moisturizing daily, and avoiding harsh scrubs or chlorine can extend the life of your glow. For more tips, check out our previous post on how to make your spray tan last longer by observing these "Do's and Don'ts."


Myth 3: Spray Tans Are Bad for Your Skin

This couldn’t be further from the truth! In fact, sunless tanning is a much safer alternative to tanning beds or prolonged sun exposure, both of which increase your risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Our tanning solutions are packed with skin-loving ingredients like hydrating oils and antioxidants, leaving your skin not only bronzed but nourished and healthy. You can also shop our BodiBronze skin products for perfect at-home care between sessions.


Myth 4: You Need a Base Tan for Better Results

We’ve all heard the myth that you need to have some color already for a spray tan to "stick." At BodiBronze, that’s simply not the case! Our spray tans are designed to work with all skin tones, from the fairest complexions to the deepest hues. Whether you're starting fresh or already have a bit of color, our tanning experts customize each session to enhance your natural beauty. You don’t need a base tan to rock a flawless glow.


Myth 5: Spray Tans Smell Awful

If you've ever tried a drugstore tanning product, you might be familiar with that unpleasant odor. Fortunately, professional spray tans are a different story. At BodiBronze, we use premium tanning solutions that leave you smelling fresh, not chemical-heavy. The subtle, pleasant fragrance enhances the experience, making you feel pampered and luxurious after every session.


Myth 6: Spray Tans Stain Your Clothes

Worried about your favorite outfit or bed sheets turning bronze? While it’s true that spray tans can rub off immediately after application, this is temporary. Wearing loose, dark clothing after your appointment can minimize any transfer, and once your tan has developed and you've had your first shower, you can wear light-colored clothing without worry. We also recommend skipping exercise or anything that causes excessive sweating for a few hours post-tan to avoid streaks or stains.



Addressing Your Concerns: What If Spray Tans Aren’t For Me?

At BodiBronze, we understand that spray tanning might feel unfamiliar, and you might have some concerns—especially if you have sensitive skin or specific preferences. Here's how we address some of the most common worries:


1. I Have Sensitive Skin—Will a Spray Tan Irritate It?

We know how important it is to use products that are gentle on sensitive skin. That’s why our tanning solutions are made with natural, nourishing ingredients that are designed to be gentle and non-irritating. However, if you have any concerns, we always offer the option for a patch test before a full application to ensure your skin responds well.


2. What If I Don’t Like the Color or Shade?

Our spray tans are fully customizable. Whether you want a light sun-kissed look or a deeper bronze, our expert technicians will work with you to achieve the exact shade you’re looking for. If it’s your first time, we recommend starting with a subtle glow, and if you love the results (which we’re sure you will!), we can adjust for a darker tone in future sessions.


3. Will a Spray Tan Affect My Allergies?

We take your health seriously. If you have any known allergies to ingredients commonly found in spray tanning solutions, please let us know beforehand. We’ll review the ingredients and can recommend a solution that’s safe and allergy-friendly.


At BodiBronze, we are committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and personalized experience for every client. From your first consultation to post-tan care, your comfort and satisfaction are our top priority.
