Spray Tanning Tips

Here are some helpful tips and tricks to ensure you get the best result for your spray tan:

• Hydrate as much as possible before, during, and after your spray tan session.
• Shave prior to your spray tan session.
• Use an exfoliator BEFORE you come in for your spray tan.
• Use the salon provided barrier cream in between your fingers and toes to prevent build up.
• Wear dark, loose clothing after your spray session to prevent it from rubbing off.
• Avoid sweating for 4-6 hours.
• Go commando! If you need to wear a bra try to avoid underwires.
• You shouldn't shower for at least 6 hours after the spray tan is applied. Showering the next day is ideal but don't wait more than 24 hours.
• Moisturize AFTER you shower and make sure your skin always stays hydrated.
• Avoid makeup for 6-8 hours if possible.
