Is AI the Future of Sunless Tanning?

Sunless tanning booths have come a long way from their early days—today’s top units offer precision, customization, and even smart automation. But are they truly AI-powered? Not quite yet. While booths like Mystic Tan Unity™, Norvell Auto Revolution, VersaPro, and Pura Sunless already use advanced technology to optimize results, artificial intelligence could take sunless tanning to a whole new level.

The Smart Booths of Today: How They Work

While most modern booths don’t yet use true AI (machine learning or real-time adaptive technology), they do feature automation and personalization tools that improve user experience. Here’s how the top sunless booths are already enhancing tanning sessions:

Personalized Skin Assessments – Mystic Tan Unity™ allows users to input skin type and tan goals via an app, recommending the perfect formula. Future AI models could use real-time skin scanning to provide even more accurate recommendations.

Height & Position Sensing – Norvell Auto Revolution adjusts spray patterns based on your height for more even coverage. AI-powered booths could use motion tracking to ensure flawless application, adjusting in real-time.

Adaptive Spray Technology – VersaPro and Pura Sunless let clients customize their tan’s depth, undertone, and hydration levels. Future booths could use predictive AI to analyze past sessions and fine-tune settings automatically.

Smart Voice Guidance – Current booths provide basic audio prompts, but AI could introduce a voice assistant that offers real-time corrections (“Step slightly left for even coverage”) or even recommend skincare adjustments based on past tan results.

The AI-Powered Tanning Booths of the Future

AI has the potential to completely transform sunless tanning, making the experience smarter, more efficient, and more personalized than ever before. Imagine stepping into a booth that:

🤖 Scans your skin in real-time to analyze hydration, tone, and texture before adjusting the spray formula accordingly.
🧠 Learns from your past tans to perfect your results every time you visit.
🎤 Uses AI voice guidance to correct your stance and ensure full, even coverage.
📊 Integrates with wearable tech to track skin health and suggest optimal tanning schedules.

The Bottom Line: AI is Coming—But Not Just Yet

While today’s sunless tanning booths use smart automation, AI-driven tanning isn’t fully here—yet. As technology advances, we can expect even more hyper-personalized, flawless tans with minimal effort. Until then, the smartest booths on the market are still delivering top-tier results—and we’ll be keeping an eye out for the first truly AI-powered tanning experience!
