Spray Tan Preparation Guide

Proper preparation is the key to achieving your most flawless, even, and long-lasting tan.

24–48 Hours Before Your Appointment

Exfoliate Thoroughly
Use a non-oil-based exfoliating mitt or gentle body scrub to remove dead skin cells. Pay extra attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, ankles, hands, and feet.

Hair Removal
Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment to allow pores to close and help ensure an even application.

Avoid Heavy Moisturizers & Oils
Discontinue the use of body oils, self-tanners, and oil-based products before your appointment, as they can create a barrier and interfere with the tanning solution.

The Day of Your Appointment

• Have clean, freshly showered skin.

• Do not apply lotion, body oil, deodorant, perfume, makeup, sunscreen, or any other skincare products to the areas being sprayed.

• Wear loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing and open-toe footwear whenever possible.

• Remove all jewelry before your appointment.

During Your Appointment

Your shade will be customized based on your skin tone, desired results, lifestyle, and upcoming event. Every appointment includes a personalized consultation to ensure your tan complements your natural complexion.

Following these aftercare instructions will help maximize the longevity, color, and overall appearance of your spray tan.

• Avoid water, sweat, swimming, rain, steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, and excessive humidity.

• Wear loose-fitting clothing to minimize friction.

• Avoid tight bras, leggings, socks, watches, or anything that may rub against the skin.

• Do not apply lotion, deodorant, perfume, or makeup to sprayed areas unless otherwise instructed.

Your First Rinse

• Rinse with lukewarm water only until the cosmetic bronzer runs clear.

• Do not use soap, body wash, shampoo, or conditioner during your first rinse unless instructed otherwise.

• Gently pat your skin dry—avoid rubbing with a towel.

Daily Care

To extend the life of your tan:

• Moisturize daily with an alcohol-free, oil-free body moisturizer.

• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

• Use gentle, sulfate-free body cleansers.

• Pat skin dry after showering instead of rubbing.

• Wear sunscreen whenever outdoors. While your spray tan creates the appearance of tanned skin, it does not provide UV protection.

Avoid

• Long hot showers or baths

• Chlorine pools and hot tubs

• Salt water exposure

• Harsh exfoliants, retinol, AHAs/BHAs, glycolic acid, or body scrubs

• Body oils and oil-based skincare products

• Shaving more frequently than necessary, as it naturally exfoliates the skin

Avoid using Aveeno or Dove products before your appointment and while you have your tan. I personally recommend using baby body wash at all times with or without a spray tan. It gently cleanses your skin without stripping or adding to your natural skin’s barrier.

We currently only offer the rapid solution. Although the undertones are custom mixed, the duration of how long you leave the tan on for will determine your desired shade.

2-2.5 hours for a light tan

3 hours for medium

4-5 hours for a deeper tan

NOTE: Your first shower is just a warm water rinse. No soap for at least 12 hours after your rinse.

With proper before and after care and using the right products, your tan should last about 7-10 days. Moisturize everyday, and using alcohol, fragrance, sulfate and paraben free products are recommended. Keep it simple!

Ex: baby body wash and Cerave moisturizer.
