Before Care – Spray Tan
Exfoliate Your Skin!
- Use gentle body scrub, exfoliating mitt or loofah.
- Focus on dry areas such as knees, elbow, ankles and wrists.
- Exfoliating your skin removes dead skin to give you a smoother and longer lasting tan!
Shave!
- Shave at least 24 hours before your spray tan.
- Shaving will give you more seamless results and reduce the risk of patchiness, dark spots and other imperfections.
Avoid Lotions & Oils!
On the day of your appointment, do not apply:
- moisturizer
- oils
- perfumes
- deodorant
- makeup
These products create a barrier and cause uneven tanning.
Wear Loose, Dark Clothing!
- Dark fabrics are best in case of bronzer transfer.
Remove Accessories!
- Accessories cause unwanted tan lines and smudges.
