Tanning Essentials FAQs

1. What are tanning essentials and why do I need them?

Tanning essentials are the tools and products that support a flawless, streak-free tan — including exfoliating mitts, barrier creams, application mitts, and post-tan care. They ensure a smooth application, even results, and longer-lasting colour.

2. Who are these tanning products designed for?

Our tanning essentials are perfect for professional salons, mobile tanning technicians, and home users looking for professional results.

3. What should I use to prepare the skin before tanning?

To prep the skin, use exfoliating mitts and fragrance-free wipes to remove dead skin cells, oil, and product build-up. Apply barrier cream to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles to prevent over-absorption.

4. Which products help ensure an even tan application?

Use a self-tan application mitt or brush for smooth, streak-free application. Sticky feet and disposable shower caps help maintain hygiene and protect soles and hair during spray tan treatments.

5. Do you offer essentials for sunbed hygiene?

Yes. We offer sunbed cleaners and antibacterial wipes designed to keep tanning equipment clean, safe, and salon-ready between clients.

6. How do I remove old or uneven self-tan?

Use our Tan Off exfoliating mitt or gentle body scrubs like GiGi No Bump to lift old tan and smooth the skin before reapplication.

7. Are your tanning accessories reusable or disposable?

We offer both. Application mitts and exfoliating gloves are reusable, while items like sticky feet, shower caps, and eye cones are single-use and ideal for client hygiene.

8. Are your tanning essentials suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. We stock fragrance-free and hypoallergenic prep products suitable for sensitive skin, and recommend patch testing if you’re unsure.

9. Can I buy tanning essentials in bulk for my salon?

Absolutely. Many of our products are available in bulk packs or multipacks, ideal for busy salons or mobile spray tan businesses.
