If you’ve ever Googled "Will I look orange?" or "Can I shower after a spray tan?", you’re not alone. Whether you’re a total newbie or a seasoned bronzed goddess, there’s always something new to learn.

At Bronzed, we’ve heard it all and we are here to give you the real answers (with zero judgement, promise).

“Will I go orange?”

Nope — not on our watch! We use high-quality solutions that are custom-blended to suit your skin tone. Orange tones usually come from bad products or rushed application, not something we do around here.

“How long will my spray tan last?”

Around 7–10 days.

Depending on your skin type and how well you care for it. Hydration is key! Moisturise daily, avoid long hot baths, and don’t exfoliate too early.

“Can I shower right after my tan?”

Hold off! Every tan is different depending on the colour depth you're after. Whether you’re going for a soft glow or a deep bronze, we’ll let you know exactly when to rinse based on your specific tanning goal and the solution we use.

As a general rule: no soap, scrubbing, or shaving during that first rinse. Just a quick, cool shower and a gentle pat dry — then let the magic develop.

“Can I still get a spray tan in winter?”

Absolutely — and you should!

Spray tans in winter give your skin warmth, smooth out texture, and boost confidence under all those layers. And since there’s less sweating or swimming, your tan actually lasts longer.

“Do I have to get naked?”

Totally up to you.

Some clients prefer to tan in a G-string, bikini, or nothing at all. Whatever makes you comfortable, we’re here for it, and trust us, we’ve seen it all.

“Does it smell weird?”

Not anymore.

Old-school spray tans had that telltale fake tan smell. Our modern formulas are way more subtle and often include refreshing scents — no one will know unless you tell them 😉

“What if I have really pale or really dark skin?”

We customise your tan to suit your natural skin tone; no one-size-fits-all shades here. Whether you want a barely-there glow or deep bronze, we’ll match it perfectly.

“Is mobile tanning awkward?”

Not with us!

We bring everything, set up in a flash, and clean up after ourselves. You relax, we tan. It’s quick, easy, and totally stress-free, just how it should be.
