The Ultimate Guide to Preparing for Your Spray Tan

A beautiful spray tan starts before your appointment. Proper preparation helps your tan develop evenly, last longer, and fade naturally. Whether this is your first spray tan or you’re a seasoned client, following these simple steps will help you achieve your best glow!

24 Hours Before Your Appointment
Exfoliate your entire body using an oil-free exfoliating mitt or gentle scrub. Pay extra attention to dry areas like your elbows, knees, ankles, and hands. Removing dead skin cells creates the perfect canvas for an even application.
If you shave or wax, do so at least 24 hours before your appointment to allow your pores time to close and reduce the chance of dark spots.

The Day of Your Appointment
Arrive with clean, dry skin. Avoid wearing lotions, oils, perfumes, makeup, or deodorant, as these products can interfere with the tanning solution.
Wear loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing and open-toed shoes after your appointment. Tight clothing can rub against your skin before your tan has fully developed.

After Your Spray Tan
Avoid water, sweating, swimming, and exercising until it’s time to rinse according to your technician’s instructions. When you shower, use lukewarm water and skip soaps during your first rinse unless directed otherwise.
After your first rinse, moisturize daily with an alcohol-free, oil-free lotion to keep your skin hydrated and help extend the life of your tan.
