How to Prepare for a Spray Tan?

To achieve a perfectly even and long-lasting tan, proper skin preparation is essential. Follow these steps to ensure the best results and color longevity.

1. Skin Exfoliation (One Day Before the Treatment)

✔ The day before your spray tan, gently exfoliate your body to remove dead skin cells and ensure even absorption of the color.

✔ Use an oil-free exfoliator – oils can create a barrier that prevents the spray tan from adhering properly.

2. Waxing / Shaving

✔ Shave or wax your skin at least 24 hours before the treatment to allow pores to close and prevent dark spots from forming.

✔ If you use wax or sugar paste, schedule your hair removal 48 hours before the treatment to allow your skin to calm down.

3. Skin Hydration

✔ Do not apply body milk, lotion, oils, or any creams on the day of the treatment – oily layers can prevent the even absortion of the color.

✔ Moisturize the night before your spray tan, especially if you have dry skin, and rinse with a gentle shower and water before the session.

4. Avoiding Products on the Skin

✔ On the day of the treatment, avoid using perfumes, deodorants, or makeup, as they may react with the color and cause uneven results.

✔ If you use deodorant, it may cause a green or orange discoloration in the underarm area.

5. Clothing on the Day of the Treatment

✔ Arrive in loose, dark clothing to avoid streaks and stains from the spray tan.

✔ Do not wear tight pants, a bra, or socks immediately after the treatment to prevent marks and uneven tanning.

By properly preparing, you ensure that your spray tan looks flawless and lasts as long as possible! Follow these steps and enjoy a beautiful, natural glow.
