When I’m not perfecting tans, I’m staying up-to-date with the latest trends in beauty and loving every moment of this amazing industry.

PREP YOUR BOD

Exfoliate 24 hours before your spray tan appointment to remove all dead skin cells. Use an oil-free body scrub or an exfoliating mitt to gently buff your skin, paying special attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.

On the day of your appointment, do not apply deodorant, makeup, lotions, or perfumes before your session, as these products can create a barrier that can negatively affect your tan results.

Wear dark, loose-fitting clothes to your appointment to prevent staining and allow the tan to set without friction.

MAKE IT LAST

After your waiting period, use lukewarm water instead of hot water to prevent premature fading.

Use gentle, oil-free body washes. Avoid exfoliating scrubs or loofahs, as they can strip the tan.

Pat your skin dry with a soft towel; avoid rubbing to prevent streaking.

 FAQs

  • Exfoliate and Shave: Exfoliate and shave 24 hours prior.

    The day of your spray tan session, refrain from using moisturizers, perfumes, lotions, oils, or deodorants.

    Avoid Makeup: A clean, makeup-free face ensures best application.

    Wear Loose Clothing: Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing to prevent rubbing and staining.

  • Hydration is key. Keep your skin moisturized to prevent dryness and flaking.

    Stay out of the water! Minimize time spent in water to prevent the tan from fading prematurely. Avoid swimming, hot tubs, or excessive sweating for at least 24 hours post-tan.

  • What ever you’re comfortable with! I recommend wearing black underwear or swimsuit. I am happy to provide you with disposable underwear/bra. I also recommend that you put on a dark robe after your spray instead of clothing, if possible.

  • Start to finish, expect me to be there about 45 minutes. Set up takes about 5 minutes, while clean up will take about 10.

  • While there is no conclusive evidence that spray tanning is harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before proceeding.

  • A spray tan typically lasts between 5 to 10 days, depending on factors such as your skin type, the depth of the tan, and how well you follow aftercare instructions.
