Prepping for a Spray Tan

By Topline

Prepping for your spray tan is the most important part to achieve that perfect bronze look. Before your spray tan- Shower-exfoliating, shaving, scrubbing all dry skin areas. ***Come in with perfectly clean skin- no makeup, perfume, deodorant or lotion on your skin. ***We recommend wearing loose dark clothing. The initial spray tan solution may come off onto clothing, so older dark clothing works best. Nothing that leaves impression in the skin- tight undergarments/socks etc. Remember to have all waxing, mani/pedi, massage appointments done BEFORE your spray tan.

You can not shower, get wet/overly sweaty for 8-12 hours after your spray. During this time your spray tan is developing and any water and/or tight clothing could cause streaks in your spray tan. After 8-12 hours you can shower! You want to use warm- not hot water, no exfoliating or scrubbing, and then pat dry. Always use a moisturizer after your shower. Moisturized skin will hold a spray tan for longer. Spray tans last 5-7 days and these guidelines are for both custom and booth sprays. ***NEVER use DOVE products before or after your spray-They leave a wax coating on your skin which will not allow your spray tan to set correctly causing it to rub off.
