Pre-Tan Care Instructions

In order to achieve the best possible spray tan results, follow the below Pre-Tan Care Instructions. Failure to properly prepare your skin prior to your appointment can affect the development, appearance, and longevity of a beautiful spray tan.

* If you’re getting a spray tan for an event, schedule your tan for at least 2 days prior to the event date.

* Make sure all spa treatments are scheduled before your tan (manis/pedis/massages/etc).

* Shave/wax and exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate 24 hours prior to your appointment (pay close attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists). Did we mention to EXFOLIATE?!

* If you shower on the day of your appointment, keep it quick & 4 hours or more prior with very little body wash & no lotion. Avoid applying any skincare products after showering, if possible.

* Arrive to your appointment with clean, dry skin free of:

  • Makeup

  • Lotion

  • Oils

  • Perfume/body spray

  • Deodorant

  • Self-tanner residue

* Wear or bring loose-fitting, dark clothing and avoid tight bras, leggings, socks, or shoes immediately after your spray tan.

* Avoid rain, sweating, swimming, exercising, or getting wet before your first rinse and for at least 8 hours AFTER your first rinse.

* Follow all rinse time instructions and post-tan care directions discussed during your appointment.
