If you have eczema, it is completely normal to wonder whether spray tanning is safe for your skin. This is a common question, especially for those with fair or sensitive skin who are cautious about irritation or flare ups.
The short answer is that spray tanning with eczema depends on the individual. Because eczema varies widely from person to person, we do not give medical advice and always encourage clients to consult with their healthcare provider when needed.
What we can share is our experience and approach.
Can I Get a Spray Tan With Eczema if My Skin Is Sensitive?
Eczema is a condition that affects everyone differently. Some people experience frequent flare ups, while others manage long periods with minimal symptoms.
At 360 Tans, we take a cautious and transparent approach. We do not diagnose, treat, or advise on medical conditions. However, we do understand sensitive skin and the importance of using thoughtfully formulated products.
Our Owner’s Personal Experience With Eczema and Spray Tanning
Our owner personally has eczema and has dealt with sensitive, reactive skin for years.
Because of this, she was extremely intentional when formulating our spray tanning solution.
Her goal was not to treat eczema, but to create a spray tan solution that did not irritate her own skin during application or development.
In her personal experience:
Spray tanning has not caused eczema flare ups
Her eczema appears less noticeable on fair skin with a spray tan
She finds that spray tanning does not aggravate her skin when done properly
This is not a guarantee or a medical claim, but rather her individual experience.
Why Spray Tanning May Feel Different Than Other Products
Spray tanning works on the outermost layer of the skin and does not penetrate deeply. For some individuals with eczema, this can feel gentler than products that are heavily fragranced or aggressively active.
That said, eczema affected skin can be unpredictable, which is why communication and awareness are essential.
What We Recommend if You Have Eczema
While we do not provide medical advice, we do recommend the following general considerations:
Always consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns
Avoid spray tanning during an active flare up
Communicate openly with your technician about sensitive areas
Patch testing may be helpful for peace of mind
Your comfort and safety always come first.
How We Approach Eczema at 360 Tans
At 360 Tans, we approach sensitive skin with care and respect. Our process is built around clean technique, controlled application, and transparency about what to expect.
Because our owner has firsthand experience with eczema, sensitivity is something we take seriously in our formulation and application approach.
