How do I prep for a spray tan?

Preparing for Your Spray Tan

For a flawless and long-lasting glow, proper preparation is key. Please follow these guidelines before your appointment:

24-48 Hours Before Your Appointment:

● Shower, Shave, and Exfoliate: Thoroughly cleanse, shave, and exfoliate your entire body. This crucial step removes dry, dead skin cells, ensuring an even application and preventing the tanning solution from clinging to rough patches. Exfoliating also helps your tan last longer.

● Moisturize (But Not Right Before): After showering and exfoliating, it's beneficial to moisturize your skin to keep it hydrated. However, do not apply lotion within 4 hours of your spray tan appointment. Any lotions, oils, or creams on your skin can create a barrier, preventing the tanning solution from properly adhering.

On the Day of Your Appointment:

● Arrive with clean, dry, and exfoliated skin. This means no lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume or makeup. These products can interfere with the tanning process and result in an uneven tan. ***Depending on the time of your appointment, you may shower and apply lotion as long as it is 4 hours before your spray tan. Just no exfoliating!!

● Avoid Same-Day Services: It is not recommended to shave, shower, or exfoliate on the day of your spray tan. For best results, your spray tan should be the last beauty service you receive. If you are planning a manicure, pedicure, facial, or massage, please schedule these before your spray tan. Similarly, any body waxing services must be completed 24-48 hours prior to your spray tan appointment.

What do I wear during and after my spray tan?

Please be advised to come to your appointment wearing something dark and loose such as a loose dark dress, baggy sweats, over sized shirt, or shorts. For your feet, wear sandals, flip flops or slides. No shoes with socks!

During the spray tan, you can wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing and depending on how you want your tan lines (or none at all). Whether it’s an old swim suit or undergarments, topless, or less, you choose your own tan lines!

How long do I have to wait before I shower?

8 hours! Your tan will be developing for 8 hours after application. You’ll need to refrain from getting wet, sweating and working out.

How long will my spray tan last?

Approximately 7-10 days, depending on how well you prepped for the spray tan and how well you do with your aftercare and keeping your skin hydrated. If you are spray tanning for a special occasion, it is recommended that you come in 2 days before your event.
