Airbrush vs. Spray Tan: Which One’s Right for Your Skin Type?


When it comes to achieving that sun-kissed glow without the harmful UV exposure, both airbrush and spray tanning are top contenders—but they’re not exactly the same. If you’ve ever wondered which one is better for your skin type, this guide is for you.


At FlashyLashies.com , we specialize in flawless, skin-loving tans tailored to every client. Let’s break down the difference so you can choose the perfect glow for you.


What’s the Difference?

  • Spray Tan Booths: Automated machines that evenly mist your body with tanning solution. Quick, efficient, and generally the same for every user.
  • Airbrush Tan: Done by a trained technician who custom-blends your color and manually applies it with a precision airbrush for tailored results.


Best for Dry or Sensitive Skin: 

Airbrush Tan

If you have dry, easily irritated, or sensitive skin, airbrush tanning is a game changer. Why?


  • Custom formulas can be adjusted for hypoallergenic needs.
  • A trained artist can avoid areas that may react (like eczema-prone spots).
  • Often more hydrating and controlled than machine-applied spray.

Pro Tip: Ask for a formula infused with aloe or coconut water to lock in moisture.

Best for Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: 

Spray Tan Booth



Spray tan booths can work great if your skin tends to be oily or acne-prone.


  • The quick-drying formulas often contain ingredients like DHA that bind well to oily skin.
  • Less chance of touching or rubbing your face post-session = fewer breakouts.

Heads up: If you’re breakout-prone, avoid overly moisturizing before your appointment, and cleanse well after 8–10 hours to prevent clogged pores.

Combo or Normal Skin? Lucky You—Pick Based on Preference 


  • Need a quick, even glow? Go for the booth.
  • Want a more sculpted, natural finish? Airbrush is worth it.


What About Longevity?


Airbrush tans tend to last 7–10 days with proper aftercare, while booth spray tans average 5–7 days. Prep and maintenance matter—so exfoliate, moisturize, and avoid harsh soaps.



Final Thoughts

Both options offer a beautiful glow, but the right choice depends on your skin and your schedule. At Flashy Lashies, we offer custom airbrush tanning designed to flatter every skin tone—with the added luxury of in-room or hotel service across Miami Beach.
