Getting Ready for Your Spray Tan
The Night Before:
- Take a shower: Use clear soap and shave your skin if needed. This will get rid of dead skin cells and make your skin smoother.
- Exfoliate: Use a scrub without oil and an exfoliating glove or mitt. This will remove even more dead skin cells, helping your tan last longer and look more even.
- Skip lotion and oil: Don’t put anything on your skin after showering, because it can mess with the spray tan solution and make it look uneven or discolored.
The Day Of:
- Skip perfume and deodorant: These products can also mess with the spray tan solution, so it’s best to avoid them on the day of your appointment.
- Skip or remove makeup: Don’t wear makeup to your spray tan appointment, or take it off completely before you get sprayed. If coming from work etc. with make-up we do have wipes or
you can purchase a PH Balancing Exfoliating Mitt. - Choose your outfit: Think about what you’ll wear when you get sprayed. Some people prefer to wear disposable undergarments, while others wear a bathing suit or underwear.
Also, choose loose-fitting, dark-colored clothes to wear home, as tight clothes can make your tan uneven or streaky. - Check the weather: If rain or snow is in the forecast, bring an umbrella and /or hoodie to protect yourself and your tan. No rain… flip flops! Yes rain…Uggs work great!
Extra Tips:
- Schedule other Appointments Appropriately: Schedule waxing or mani/pedi appointments 24 hours before your spray tan to avoid skin irritation or uneven color.
If you are getting a manicure or pedicure immediately before your tan, tell them not to use lotion!
- Pack a Pillow Case: Keep a dark pillow case in your car to sit on during the ride home to prevent transferring color to your car seat.
