Before Your Spray Tan
Exfoliate
Exfoliate your entire body 24 hours before your appointment. Focus on elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists. Use a physical scrub — avoid oil-based scrubs.
Shave or Wax
Shave at least 12 hours before your tan. If waxing, do so 24–48 hours prior. This allows pores to close for an even application.
Skip the Moisturizer
No lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, or makeup the day of your tan. These create barriers that cause uneven color development.
Wear Loose Dark Clothing
Bring loose, dark clothing to wear after your tan. Tight clothing rubs off the bronzer. A flowy dress or baggy sweats are perfect.
Remove Jewelry
Take off all jewelry, watches, and hair ties before your session. They can leave tan lines and affect the final result.
After Your Spray Tan
Wait Before Showering
Wait 8–10 hours before your first shower. Use lukewarm water, pat dry gently — don't scrub.
Moisturize Daily
Apply an oil-free moisturizer twice daily. This extends the life of your tan significantly. Well-moisturized skin holds color longer.
Avoid Water Activities
For the first 24 hours, avoid swimming, heavy sweating, and hot tubs. Chlorine and salt water fade your tan prematurely.
Pat Don't Rub
Pat your skin with a towel instead of rubbing. This preserves the tan and prevents uneven fading.
Skip Harsh Products
Avoid AHAs, retinol, and exfoliating acids. Use gentle, sulfate-free body washes to keep your glow looking its best.
