Preparing for your spray tan is crucial
what you do before & after can mean the difference between a good & a bad spray tan
BEFORE YOUR SPRAY TAN APPOINTMENT
- Exfoliate & moisturise the night before your spray tan appointment (NOT on the day of your tan). Paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles & any problem dry areas.
- Wax/shave at least 24 hours prior to your spray tan. This allows pores time to close otherwise the tanning solution will sit in your pores giving a dotted affect.
- It is recommended that you paint your nails & toenails, especially if artificial
- Remove any jewellery.
- Make-up must be removed
- Please try not to wear deodorants & perfumes on the day of your spray tan as these can make your spray tan go green
- Do not use moisturisers or skin lotions on the day of your tan.
DURING YOUR SPRAY TAN APPOINTMENT
- On your very first tanning session i will ask you some questions & fill in a consultation card for you.
- I will then give you a few minutes to get undressed. It is entirely up to you what you would like to wear during your tanning session as i want you to be as comfortable as possible. I provide disposable knickers which can also be used as a boob tube or you can wear your own dark coloured underwear/swimsuit if you prefer. Unless you DARE TO BARE & go nude to eradicate any 'white bits' (I can provide disposable kimonos for tanning parties)
- I provide sticky feet for you to wear during your spray tan so you don't end up with darker soles of your feet.
- The spraying will take around 10-15 minutes plus an additional few minutes to dry. For the spraying I will stand you in a cubicle, as illustrated below.

AFTER YOUR SPRAY TAN
- You will be provided with a disposable kimono for you to wear straight after your spray tan, you can then wear dark loose clothing such as a tracksuit or pyjamas. wearing tight clothing or underwear may cause wear marks
- DO NOT shower or bathe for the development period (at least 8 hours)
- If your spray tan is during the day then please do not excercise or swim during the development period.
- it's very important that you do not touch your skin during the development time as this can cause darker tanning marks on your hands which is almost impossible to remove.
- After showering/bathing, pat dry only.
- Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise!!
- After day 5, exfoliate on daily basis to help your skin absorb even more moisturiser & keep it looking & feeling georgous.
- Long exposure to water & sweating from excercise will fade your spray tan quicker.
