Spray tan tents

[Onemoret1me]

My older teenager puts on fake tan religiously. She has tried a variety of brands and most likes the cheap one from b&m.

I’m considering whether getting a spray tan set up at home would be worthwhile?
is it easier to apply as a spray tan? Will it be more even and less patchy? Will she achieve the same colour? Will it cut down on the mess! How much room does it take up? Is it easy to put up and take down the tent? Does the tan last any longer?

Does anyone have any experience? I don’t have a clue, hence all the questions!

Thanks

Anyone?

I didn’t even know spray tan tents were a thing. If your teen already had a preferred brand, why are you thinking of getting her to try something else?

Unless you want your walls, flooring and furniture to change colour…..no I wouldn’t.

Worked in salons with spray tans for long enough to know the damage the airborne tan causes. Leave her to use the product she likes.

You'd have to look at semi professional types, that people use when you go to their house for a spray tan. It isn't easy to spray tan yourself. My neighbour used to do spray tans, but her sister did her's. So potentially you'd have to do the spraying. They last about five to seven days. You could actually treat her to one. She's got to wear a bikini or go topless, so that's a consideration. My neighbour gave up when she became pregnant, the fumes are worrying. I get spray tans for weddings etc. I usually get them done in my back garden.

It's easier to just go to the salon.

Oh wow, thanks for the comments. As you can tell, I know nothing about tanning. Just that I thought spray tan tents would stop some of the mess, seems like they may cause more mess!
thought they may also be easier to apply that by hand and be less patchy.
when you say damage from airbourne tan is that damage to health or damage to the environment?

think I may just stick to buying her bottles of the stuff

TBH, air quality (health wise) is a genuine consideration. Most people would benefit from opening the windows and airing everything right out for a good 20mins a day just to improve their indoor air quality (fumes from gas hobs & heating, dust, particles from candles or wood stoves, VOCs from paint and cleaning products, etc).

If you regularly spray stuff in the air it’s part of what you’re inhaling as well - so the person getting her spray tan out in the garden is being pretty smart! Nothing on its own is a dealbreaker, but all these bits add up.

I did this a long time ago when DD 1 was into spray tans, the tent took up a lot of room but folded away and we bought a professional machine and tanning fluid.

We still have it but DD 2 prefers the spray on stuff from boots.

You have to be careful as it can drip and we watched videos on you tube on application tips.

I’m sure I’ve been in ones with extractor fans?
