Flawless, Custom Spray Tans
A custom spray tan should last anywhere from 5-10 days. Proper skincare before and after will directly affect the length of your tan. You can wear as much or as little as you like (yes, tanning nude is totally ok and many people do). Our salon features a private tanning area where you can feel comfortable undressing as much as you prefer. Note: A small amount of overspray is expected on garments worn during spray application. Bronzing additives usually wash out, but there is always a chance of staining. We also recommend wearing dark, loose fitting clothing after your tan to avoid any transfer of product.
Before Custom Spray Tan
Exfoliate and shave: Use an exfoliator without oils at least 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and help your skin absorb DHA. You should also shave 24 hours before.
Avoid lotions, makeup, and perfume: Remove all lotions, makeup, and perfume before your appointment. These products can act as a barrier.
Moisturize: Moisturizing your skin before your appointment can help prevent discoloration, patchiness, and overdevelopment in dry areas.
Schedule other appointments: Schedule any other beauty appointments, like waxing, hair, or facials, at least 48 hours before your spray tan.
After Custom Spray Tan
Wait to shower: Wait 6–8 hours, but no longer than 24 hours, after your spray tan before showering unless using a rapid solution in which case your spray tan technician will give you specific instructions.
Be gentle: When you do shower, use oil-free cleansers and the palm of your hand to gently rinse off the bronzer. Avoid hot water, harsh scrubbing, and other chemicals. Pat dry instead of rubbing.
Don’t use soaps: Avoid using soaps during your initial rinse.
Use spray-tan-approved products: After your spray tan, only use body washes and lotions that are approved for spray tans.
Don’t exercise or sweat: Avoid exercising or sweating for 24 hours, as sweat can affect your tan.
Don’t use perfume or sprays: Avoid using perfume or any sprays for 24 hours
