Not all tans are created equal. While traditional spray tanning methods often leave behind telltale signs — uneven fading, synthetic undertones, or that lingering stickiness — today’s beauty standards demand more refinement.
Velvet Tanning represents a new generation in bronzing technology: one that prioritizes skin integrity, seamless wear, and elevated results. It’s not just a tan — it’s a treatment.
Traditional spray tanning methods can be hit-or-miss, especially when the formula doesn’t suit your skin or the technique isn’t right. That’s exactly why Velvet Tanning is changing the game.

What is Velvet Tanning?
Velvet tanning is all about the next-generation spray tan experience: smooth application, fast-drying formula, no sticky residue, and most importantly — a natural, sun-kissed glow that adapts to your unique skin tone. It’s designed to be flawless, hydrating, and wearable from the moment it touches your skin.
At Spray Tan Queen, we use the Velvet Mousse Luxury — a premium tanning mousse handcrafted to eliminate the usual issues like streaks, orange tones, and chemical smells. It’s skin-first tanning, with results that speak for themselves.
