Spray Tan Prep Guide

Sunburn Advisory

• Avoid booking a spray tan if you have had a sunburn within the past 6 weeks. 

Exfoliate Thoroughly

• Exfoliate your entire body with an exfoliating mitt 24 to 48 hours before your appointment.Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles and feet.

Skip the Retinol

• Avoid using retinol, AHA, BHA, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, or any products that promote cell turnover 7+ days before your appointment if you want to spray tan your face.

Shave or Wax in Advance

• Shave at least 24 hours before your appointment, and wax at least 48 hours prior.

Timing Your Mani/Pedi

• Nails should be done the day before. If done after, soaking and exfoliation will strip the tan. Instruct technicians to skip all oils and lotions.

Avoid Moisturizers & Oils on Day of Spray

• Avoid applying lotions and oils on the day of your appointment.

Start with Clean, Product-Free Skin

• Shower at least 12 hours before your appointment with a mild, non-moisturizing soap. Don't shower right before your appointment.

• For facial spray tans, please arrive with a clean face, free of makeup. 

No Deodorant or Perfume

• Avoid using deodorants, perfumes, or scented products the day of.

What to Wear During the Spray

• You can wear a black bikini/underwear, one of our complimentary disposable thongs (women only), or go nude. Choose whatever you're comfortable with. 

Wear Loose, Dark Clothing

• Opt for loose-fitting, dark clothing and undergarments to prevent smudging or transfer. For footwear, flip flops, UGG's, or Crocs are great options; skip the tight shoes and socks. 

• If it's raining, layers are essential to keep water from reaching and ruining your spray tan. Use an umbrella, a hoodie/long sleeve top (tuck in hands), long pants, loose socks, and closed, loose footwear. PRO TIP: Cut the top off socks if they are too tight on leg.
