PREPARING FOR YOUR SPRAY
SPRAY TAN
prep
Here are some of our most frequently asked questions & tips to help guide to prepare for your spray tan appointment!
Start by exfoliating your entire body the day before your appointment. Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin cells, ensuring a smooth and even surface for the tanning solution to adhere to.
If needed, shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment. This allows your pores to close for the smoothest canvas.
Arrive at your appointment with clean, dry skin. Avoid wearing any jewelry or accessories that may leave marks on your skin.
Avoid Moisturizers and Oils: On the day of your appointment, refrain from applying moisturizers, oils, or lotions to your skin. These products can create a barrier that prevents the tanning solution from being absorbed properly.
Remove Makeup and Deodorant: Before your session, remove any makeup, deodorant, or perfume from your skin. These products can interfere with the tanning process and may result in uneven coloration.
Yes. It is definitely best to get your your mani/pedi before the spray tan. Just make sure you are able to remove all of the lotion/oils that your nail tech applies on your skin before you come in for your spray tan. If you absolutely must get your nails done after your spray tan, you need to wait until after your first shower. In this event, you should also avoid the massage portion of the service since their products may degrade your spray tan results.
Clothing is optional because we believe in empowering you to embrace your natural beauty, confidence, and individuality! Here’s why:
•Customize your tan: Going clothing-optional allows for a seamless tan without the worry of tan lines, giving you the freedom to choose your desired level of coverage.
•Achieve an even tan: By baring it all, you ensure every inch of your skin receives an even application, resulting in a flawless, head-to-toe glow.
•Personalized experience: We understand that everyone has different comfort levels, so we offer the option to tan with or without clothing to cater to your preferences.
Embrace the freedom to tan your way and let your confidence shine!
Loose, Dark Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing to wear to your spray tan appointment. Loose garments prevent friction against your skin, minimizing the risk of smudging your tan. Dark clothing helps conceal any potential tan transfer during and after the appointment.
Avoid Tight Clothing and Accessories: Steer clear of tight clothing, bras, socks, and accessories like jewelry and watches. Tight clothing can leave imprints on your skin or rub against your tan, resulting in uneven coloration. Remove jewelry to prevent it from interfering with the tan application.
Flip-Flops or Sandals: Wear flip-flops or sandals to easily slip on and off without disturbing your tan. Avoid closed-toe shoes or sneakers, as they can rub against your feet and potentially remove the tan solution.
