Spray Tans for Dark Skin Tones

Have deeper skin and wondering if spray tan is for you? Absolutely. Here’s how to get the best results on dark skin tones.

Spray Tans for Dark Skin Tones

Spray tan isn’t just for fair skin. In fact, people with deeper skin tones often get some of the most beautiful results from a spray tan. The key is knowing which depth to choose and how to prep.

Pick the Right Depth

Our booth offers four intensity levels. For dark skin, levels 3 or 4 give the most visible, natural-looking enhancement. Level 3 adds a warm glow that looks like you’ve been in the sun. Level 4 is for when you want to look like you just got back from the Caribbean.

Clear or Bronze?

Both work beautifully on deeper skin tones. Malibu gives you that instant rich glow that looks incredible on dark skin. Clear develops more subtly but still adds a noticeable warmth. If you’re going to an event soon, Malibu is the move.

Watch for Ashy Fade

Darker skin tones can sometimes look ashy as a spray tan fades. The fix is simple: moisturize religiously. Twice a day, every day. Use an oil-free, fragrance-free lotion to keep your skin hydrated and the fade looking even.

The Booth Advantage

Our automated booth is perfect for dark skin because it applies the same even coat everywhere. No areas get missed, and there’s no risk of a technician going too heavy in certain spots. Consistency is everything.

Your skin deserves to glow. Book a deeper depth session and see what your skin can do.
