Before you spray

Exfoliate and shave 24 to 48 hours prior to your spray tan for optimal results. On the day of your appointment, wear loose, dark clothing to prevent streaking and ensure an even application. Before your session, remove all makeup and jewelry.

Additionally, schedule any manicures or pedicures in advance to avoid disrupting your tan.

We recommend calling ahead to determine the ideal time and day for your spray tan, especially if preparing for a special event.

During your spray

When you arrive for your spray tan, a trained staff member will help you in selecting the ideal spray solution and shade to achieve your desired results. They will also guide you through the necessary pre-spray preparations and recommended spray poses.

Before beginning, ensure that barrier cream is applied thoroughly to your hands, as well as any areas prone to dryness or excessive absorption, such as wrists, elbows, knees, and the tops of your nails and toenails. Put on your hairnet, sticky feet, and nose plugs.

Once you are fully prepared, the booth will activate, and the spray process will begin.

After completing your spray tan, carefully step out of the booth and allow your skin to air dry as needed. When getting dressed, gently put on your clothing to avoid smudging the fresh application. Avoid any contact with water until the tan has fully developed.

Once your initial rinse is complete, be sure to moisturize daily to maintain an even tan and prevent dryness—avoid exfoliating or scrubbing the skin.

We recommend washing your hands approximately one hour after your session to avoid over processing. Additionally, refrain from using Dove products and opt for a sulfate- and paraben-free body wash to preserve your tan
