Spray Tan - Preparation Advice
Once your appointment is booked, we advise you to follow the below advice, in order to achieve a natural looking tan with an even coverage;
Exfoliate your skin the day before your tan. Pay particular attention to knees, elbows, hands, feet and any other dry areas.
Shave or wax 24-48 hours prior to tan to allow pores time to close.
DO NOT moisturise or apply any lotions to your Skin on the day of your tan. Also, avoid using deodorant or perfume on the day of your appointment too. Any make up must be removed prior to the treatment.
Please wear loose dark clothing and flip flops, Sandals or loose-fitting shoes to the appointment.
Bring along swim wear or dark underwear to tan in. Alternatively, we can provide disposable underwear if you prefer.
It is advisable to remove contact lenses before your Spray tan too.
Spray Tan - Post Care
Following your Spray tan appointment;
- Do not exercise or get your tan wet for a minimum of 8 hours after the treatment as this will affect the finished result.
- Leave the tan on for at least 8-10 hours before showering off the guide colour, unless an Express Product was used in which case, you will need to shower 2-4 Hours after the application. Your Therapist will advise accordingly on the day.
- After the development time, try to avoid; Swimming, Hot tubs, Jacuzzis, Saunas, Steam Rooms or try not to soak in the bath for extended periods of time as all of these factors can contribute to premature fading of your tan.
- Do not have shower or bath water too hot, as this can decrease the length of the tan too.
- Do not rub skin too harshly after washing, simply pat dry with your towel instead
- Moisturise 1-2 times daily to prolong your tan and avoid it fading unevenly
- Start to lightly exfoliate after 4-5 days to encourage even and natural fading.
