When it comes to spray tanning, how the tan is finished matters just as much as how it is applied. One question we are often asked is why 360 Tans does not use brushes to apply setting powder after a spray tan.
The answer is simple. Touchless setting powder for spray tans is cleaner, more hygienic, and protects the integrity of the spray tan technique that was just performed.
Why Setting Powder Is Used After a Spray Tan
Setting powder is used to help reduce surface moisture, minimize friction, and allow clients to comfortably get dressed after a spray tan. It is a finishing step that should support the tan, not interfere with it.
How that powder is applied makes a significant difference.
Why We Do Not Use Brushes for Setting Powder
Traditional brush application may seem harmless, but in a spray tanning environment, it creates several issues.
Spray tanning involves the naked body, where natural body moisture and fluids can be present. When a brush is used across multiple clients, it must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between every single use to avoid cross contamination.
Even with proper cleaning, brushes introduce unnecessary risk in a service that should prioritize cleanliness and control.
How Brushes Can Disrupt Spray Tan Results
Beyond hygiene concerns, brushes can negatively affect the spray tan itself.
Touching the skin after an airbrush tan can disrupt the technique that was just applied. Brushes can:
Smudge freshly sprayed solution
Create uneven pressure across the skin
Interfere with blending and contouring
Compromise areas that were carefully layered
A spray tan is a precision service. Re introducing touch after application can undo that precision.
Why Touchless Setting Powder for Spray Tans Is Better
At 360 Tans, we use a proprietary touchless setting powder application that is delivered with air, not brushes.
Touchless Setting Powder for Spray Tans Keeps the Process Clean
Our method applies setting powder evenly across the body without any physical contact. This eliminates the need for brushes altogether and helps maintain a clean, controlled environment from start to finish.
Touchless Application Protects the Tan
By avoiding contact with the skin, we preserve the integrity of the spray tan application. The result is a smoother finish, better development, and more consistent results.
This approach supports the work that was just done rather than altering it.
