How Long Does a Professional Spray Tan Last?

A professional spray tan typically lasts 5 to 10 days, depending on factors such as:

• Your skin type
• The DHA concentration in the tanning solution
• How well you maintain your tan
• To extend the life of your spray tan, it's essential to:
• Exfoliate thoroughly before your appointment
• Avoid using oil-based products afterward
• Moisturise daily to prevent patchiness
• Limit exposure to chlorinated water or excessive sweating

At Salon First, we stock a wide range of premium tanning solutions that deliver long-lasting, even colour. Whether you're a professional spray tan technician or maintaining a tan at home, proper prep and aftercare make all the difference.

Why Use a Tanning Tent?

A tanning tent provides a clean, professional environment for spray tanning—making it an essential tool for mobile technicians and salons alike.

Key Benefits:

• Contains overspray and protects walls and floors
• Helps maintain hygiene and cleanliness during sessions
• Offers clients a private, comfortable space for application
• At Salon First, we offer a range of pop-up tanning tents that are:
• Lightweight
• Easy to clean
• Ideal for travel or studio setups

Using a high-quality tanning tent not only ensures a mess-free experience but also enhances your professional presentation.

What Does a Beauty Facial Machine Do?

A beauty facial machine is a professional-grade device designed to enhance skincare treatments by improving skin health, appearance, and hydration. These machines use advanced technologies to deliver results that are typically more effective than manual methods alone.

Common Technologies Used in Facial Machines:

• Microdermabrasion – Exfoliates dead skin cells and refines texture
• Ultrasonic Therapy – Boosts product absorption and stimulates cell renewal
• Galvanic or High-Frequency Currents – Targets acne, signs of aging, and promotes collagen
• LED Light Therapy – Treats concerns like fine lines, pigmentation, and acne

By incorporating a facial machine into your treatment menu or home skincare routine, you can achieve deeper cleansing, increased circulation, and enhanced skincare results.

Pro Tip: For salon use, choose a multi-function machine that allows you to customise treatments based on your client’s skin type and goals.

Which Facial Machine Is Best for Salon Use?

The best facial machine for salon use depends on the services you offer, but you should prioritize multi-functionality, durability, and ease of use.

Top-Rated Salon Facial Machines in Australia:

• Microdermabrasion Machines – With diamond tips or crystal systems for deep exfoliation
• Multifunction Units – Combining high frequency, ultrasonic, LED, steamer features
• Hydrodermabrasion & Oxygen Infusion Devices – For hydrating and rejuvenating facials

What to Look for in a Professional Facial Machine:

• Ensure the machine is TGA-compliant (Therapeutic Goods Administration)
• Buy from reputable suppliers like Salon First
• Confirm that training, support, and spare parts are available
• Salon-ready machines should be built for continuous use, client safety, and long-term reliability.

Can I Use a Facial Machine at Home?

Yes, many facial machines are now designed for safe and effective at-home use. While salon machines offer more powerful results, home-use devices are excellent for maintaining your skin between professional treatments.

Popular Home Facial Devices:

• LED Masks – For anti-aging and acne
• Mini Microdermabrasion Tools – For gentle exfoliation
• Ultrasonic Skin Spatulas – To deep-clean pores
• Facial Steamers – To open pores and hydrate skin

When choosing a home facial machine, look for:

• User-friendly controls
• Built-in safety features
• Devices approved for personal use

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe and optimal results.
