Make sure to complete all beauty services like manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, and any injectables (like Botox) at least 24 hours before your spray tan. We recommend waxing at least 48 hours prior to your tan.

Shower, Shave, and Exfoliate: Prep your skin the night before your session. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, allowing for an even application of your tan. Avoid showering right before your appointment.

Avoid Products: Refrain from using deodorants, lotions, makeup, or oils before your session. These products can interfere with the tanning solution.

Dress Comfortably: Wear dark, loose clothing to your session (think baggy pants, loose shirt, and flip-flops). Avoid jeans, leggings, dresses, or shorts.

Say No to Certain Soaps: If you use Dove or Olay products, switch them out before your tan! They can leave a barrier on your skin that will affect your tan’s outcome.

Rinse: Follow the timing your technician gives you and rinse off with warm water. Avoid using soap or body wash during your first rinse to remove the cosmetic bronzer (the instant color you see). This is not the actual tan—it’s just the bronzer used for initial color. Rinse until water runs clear.

No Touching: Avoid touching your skin or skin-to-skin contact until your first rinse. This helps avoid streaks or smudging.

Pat Dry and Moisturize: After rinsing, gently blot your skin dry with a towel and apply moisturizer immediately to keep your skin hydrated.

Allow Time for the Tan to Develop: Your final tan will fully develop over the next 24 hours, so don’t worry if it looks lighter right after your rinse.

Avoid Soap for 24 Hours: Wait at least 24 hours before using soap or body wash to fully allow your tan to set.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated: Moisturize daily, both morning and night, to ensure your tan lasts as long as possible.

Avoid excessive Sweating or Exercise (especially within 24 hours)
