Prepare for your Spray Tan

Before your Spray Tan

The day before:

  • Schedule any waxes or facials at least 1-2 days before your tan.

  • Schedule any nail appointments prior to your spray tan. However, they may be done after if exfoliating scrubs, witch hazel, mineral oils, and silicone are avoided.

  • Shave and exfoliate, do not apply any lotion.

The day of:

  • Wear dark loose clothing to your appointment. 

  • Do not apply any lotion or deodorant to your skin.

  • Check the weather - wear full coverage clothing & pack an umbrella if rain is expected.

  • Women may be completely nude for the spray tan, but if you would like to wear something consider what tan lines it may create and adjust to your preferences.

After your Spray Tan

Developing & Showering:

Do not get wet or sweat until your first shower, this allows the solution to interact with your skin and “develop”. After waiting the allotted time, which varies based on the chosen solution, you may shower. For the first shower, rinse well in lukewarm water until the excess bronzer is off, leaving behind the DHA developed color in your skin! Only use your hands and soap while showering throughout the life of the spray tan to help it last longer. Always PAT DRY after showering and apply lotion daily.

What to Avoid:

Avoid hot showers (warm only), dove soap, Oil of Olay products, mineral oil, hair removers, anti-aging products, Retin-A products, witch hazel, facial masks, and exfoliating scrubs.
