The Best Spray Tan Solution for Professional Results
Norvell sets the standard for spray tan solution with formulas that deliver consistent color, smooth application, and natural-looking depth. We’ve crafted every one of our products with professional use in mind, using high-quality DHA and skin-conditioning ingredients that support an even, beautiful tan.
Artists trust Norvell spray tan solution because its results stay streak-free, fade evenly, and work across a wide range of skin tones.
How to Choose the Right Professional Spray Tan Solutions
Not every spray tan solution performs the same on every client. Choosing the right formula means properly understanding skin tone, application method, and how the product behaves once on the skin.
Professional artists need formulas that deliver consistency and compatibility – and that’s precisely what our Norvell tanning solution has to offer.
The Importance of Matching Spray Tan Solution to Skin and Undertone
The best spray tan solution for professionals works with a client's natural undertone, not against it. The wrong base can pull orange or muddy. Norvell tanning solutions come in distinct bases so you can customize for each client:
- Venetian: violet and brown undertones for a deep, iconic glow.
- Tuscan: rich caramel brown with rose gold undertones.
- Dark and Double Dark: rich depth for clients who want a classic bronze color.

Choosing the Right Spray Tan Solution for HVLP Airbrush Systems
Spray tan machine, airbrush system, spray gun: most professional setups use HVLP (high volume, low pressure) technology, which lays down a fine, even mist with less overspray. Solution viscosity and flow decide how well that works. A formula that is too thick can spit or clog the gun, and one that is too thin can run.
Norvell solutions are formulated to spray cleanly through HVLP spray tan machines, including Norvell's own systems. Clean the gun between solutions and at the end of each day to keep the spray pattern even. The spray gun maintenance guide walks through each step.
Why Consistency and Dry Time Actually Matter
A good spray tan solution sprays evenly, dries fast and develops without streaks. Slow-drying formulas lead to smudges and transfer, especially in humid rooms or when a client has to dress and leave right away. Norvell solutions balance quick dry time with skin-conditioning moisture, so the tan stays put and feels comfortable. Clients notice, and it shows up in your rebooking rate.

Spray Tan Solution FAQs
Answers to the questions spray tan artists ask most about choosing, storing and spraying professional solutions.
How long does a professional spray tan solution last once opened?
Most solutions remain effective for about six months, especially if stored in a cool, dark place. Exposure to heat or air can degrade the DHA and impact performance.
Can I mix different spray tan solutions to customize color?
While it may be tempting, we do not recommend mixing solutions. Each Norvell formula is a complex, carefully balanced blend of cosmetic bronzers and DHA designed to achieve a specific color and undertone.
Mixing formulas, especially ones with different development times, can throw off that balance and produce unpredictable results. Use each solution as designed and choose a different base or depth to change the result.
Do clients need to shower before their spray tan appointment?
Yes, but timing matters. Clients should exfoliate 24 hours ahead, shower at least four hours before the session, avoid heavy oils and lotions, and skip deodorant to allow the spray tan solution to absorb evenly.
What’s the difference between rapid rinse and traditional solutions?
Rapid rinse solutions develop in as little as 1-3 hours, depending on the desired depth. Traditional solutions require 6-8 hours before rinsing. Whatever your preference, Norvell Tanning offers both.
What is the best spray tan solution for a spray gun or machine?
Norvell designs its spray tan solutions and spray guns to work together. Every formula is made to flow through Norvell HVLP systems without clogging, from the portable Oasis and M1000 to the Z3000 Pro Spray Tan Machine Kit. In a salon, add the Overspray Reduction Booth or the Arena All-In-One to keep mist contained. If you use another brand's machine, most HVLP systems take standard solutions, but check viscosity first. Clean the gun between formulas.
What spray tan solution do competitive athletes use?
Competition tanning needs deeper, higher-contrast color than an everyday tan. Norvell's Competition 2-Step System uses a Base Coat and a Top Coat to build color that shows muscle definition under stage lights and holds up to sweat and heat. A detailed rinse schedule and application is available.
