To maximize the effectiveness of your sessions, we have collected the best spray tanning tips to make sure your skin is best prepared to accept color, keep you safe during your session, and protect and enhance your color after spray tanning.
Prep Like a Pro!
During Your Session
Afterward, For The Most Radiant Results
- Shower and exfoliate.
- Use a body scrub, not a bar soap. You want to remove excess dead skin cells so the product adheres evenly.
- Spend a little extra time exfoliating areas with thick skin, such as knees, elbows and ankles.
- Waxing/shaving should be done a minimum of 12 hours before your session.
- Wear dark, loose clothing and avoid under-wire bras.
- Wear open shoes, like flip-flops.
- Remove makeup.
- Remove all jewelry.
- Avoid wearing perfume or deodorant as these can lead to blotching and flaking.
- Our sunless solution has a sugar based ingredient. If you are a diabetic, please consult your physician before you use the service.
During Your Session
- Apply your hair net, leaving your ears and hairline exposed.
- Apply barrier cream to your cuticles and nail beds to ward off excess color buildup in those areas.
- Moisturize the palms of your hands to help offer a barrier so you get a natural-looking tan. Just be sure to blend the edges well for a natural fade line.
- Keep your mouth closed and use lip balm to protect your lips.
- Keep calm and turn 4 times!
Afterward, For The Most Radiant Results
- Allow skin to dry until it has a light moisturized feel. In theory, the more time you allow for the solution to penetrate the skin before getting dressed, the better.
- Avoid perspiration - don't exercise until after your first shower - perspiration can cause solution to run.
- Avoid getting your skin wet, even from rain, washing dishes or giving kids a bath.
- Wait 8 hours before you shower
- During your first shower, apply shower gel only with your hands, not a loofah, towel or sponge.
- For best results, use our sunless shower gel from our sunless manufacturers.
- Avoid long, hot long showers which can be drying to your skin and cause skin to flake.
- After every shower, use moisturizer 2-3 times daily to prolong the life of the tan. Hydrated skin will maintain a glowing sunless tan best and will ensure even exfoliation.
- Ask your tanning consultant about our full line of tan extending products from our sunless manufacturers.
