Prep & aftercare for your fresh tan

Before your tan

Complete ALL other services at least 24 hours before your tan, such as manicures, pedicures, waxing, facials, massages, eyelashes etc. Your spray tan is your very LAST stop!

Shower, shave and exfoliate at least 12 hours prior to your session. Exfoliating the skin is very important for a flawless tan outcome!

Avoid wearing any lotion, deodorant or makeup during your session.

Wear dark loose-fitting pants and a loose shirt and flip-flops to your appointment. Do NOT wear jeans or leggings.

Avoid showering and prepping your skin right before your session and avoid using Dove/Olay soap several days before.

During your tan

Adults 18+ have the option to tan topless, nude, wear a swimsuit, disposable spray tan undergarments (provided by us), or whatever you feel most comfortable in!

Please be aware that you will have tan lines with whatever you decide to wear.

Before beginning, we will discuss your desired color and darkness to ensure you are feeling confident when the session is complete!

During the session, you will be guided through various positions to stand, as the technician applies the airbrush tan.

The entire process takes less than 20 minutes and off you glow!

After your tan

Depending which tan option you choose, wait at least 6-8 hours to rinse your tan. *Rinse times vary depending on your solution choice.

Try not to touch or scratch at your tan during the processing time.

During your first post-tan shower, use warm water and NO soap to rinse off the top coat of tan. Use your hands to brush the water down your body until the water runs clear down the drain, ensuring all of your cosmetic bronzer coat is washed off. Don't worry, this is not your spray tan washing away!

Gently blot your skin with a towel to dry, do not RUB.

Next, moisturize your skin.

Worried your tan looks lighter after you rinsed it? Your tan takes a full 24 hours to see the final result!

Wait about 24 hours to shower with soap or body wash after your appointment.

Moisturize every morning and night to prolong the life of your tan!

Avoid the ocean, hot tubs and swimming pools as much as possible.

Avoid exercise/sweating for 24 hours, but please be aware that sweat may affect your tan even if you wait longer than 24 hours to exercise/sweat.

Avoid perfume, deodorant, or any sprays for 24 hours.

Avoid Dove, Olay products and lotions or body wash containing alcohol or oils.

Shaving after your Tan

Tips for shaving after your spray tan

The best way to shave after a spray tan is to use a sulfate-free shower wash, a new razor, and a light touch. Pat dry when you’re done and moisturize with a self-tanning lotion to extend your color. All other hair removal methods should be done before your spray tan so as not to remove your color.

Shaving Before Your Spray Tan

Shaving can help to exfoliate removing dry patches that could lead to an uneven spray tan. If you are waxing, bleaching or doing laser hair removal please have this done several days before your tanning appointment.

Do I Have To Shave Before A Spray Tan?

No, shaving is a personal choice and you don’t need to shave at all if that is not your preference.

Can You Shave The Night Before A Spray Tan?

Yes, the night before your spray tan appointment is the perfect time to shave and exfoliate to prep your skin. This gives your skin time to calm down before your spray tan is applied.

Can You Shave The Day Of A Spray Tan?

This depends on how coarse your hair is and how much time you have until your spray tan appointment.

DARK HAIR: If you have very coarse or dark hair, shave the night before your tan, it gives a chance for your pores to close up before the spray tan is applied so the tanning solution doesn’t settle into them resulting in a "dirty" tan.

FAIR HAIR: If you are fair with light fine hair you can shave the morning of your spray tan. Just make sure to rinse with cool water to help close the pores after you are done shaving.

Can I shave an hour before a spray tan?

This is not recommended as your pores will not have time to close.

Does shaving after your spray tan make your tan go away?

Yes, shaving does exfoliate the skin, so if you shave AFTER your spray tan there are a few tricks to remember: WAIT 24 HOURS after getting your spray tan to shave. USE A NEW RAZOR. The old razor is dull and will drag on your skin taking your tan off with it. This isn’t going to make anyone happy so go grab a fresh one so it can glide along without dragging against your skin as much.

DON’T USE SHAVING FOAM.

Shaving products often have ingredients that can damage your tan. Alcohol and heavy detergents can dry and strip your tan away. In a pinch use your conditioner or a sulfate-free, shower wash so you are not applying harsh products to your freshly sprayed tan. If your razor has a moisturizing strip make sure that you are rinsing all that product off your skin too.

PRO TIP: Never dry shave. LIGHT TOUCH. Don’t press hard when you are shaving. Let the razor glide along your skin gently so that you are not taking off the tan when you shave. Try not to shave daily after your spray tan if you can help it. The more often you are shaving the faster you will fade out your color.

Do NOT wax after your spray tan as it will remove your sunless tan. Please do all waxing at least 48 hours BEFORE your spray tan appointment. You CAN have bronzy smooth skin if you follow these spray tan tips for shaving after your spray tan! And as always, following up with a good moisturizer to help to keep your color longer.

Spray Tan Tips For Men

Let's talk about your shaving route.

Are you shaving your face and/or head?

How often do you shave?

Do you use a blade or electric?

Are you using any pre-shave products or after-shave products?

First shave your face and/or head before you come in for your spray tan appointment. To allow the spray tan to fully develop, please wait at least 24 hours before shaving. Skip the pre-shave products as they have ingredients in them that will break down your tan. Don’t use a foam based shaving product. These have alcohol and detergents in them that will break down your tan. Do use a plain alcohol free lotion after you shave to soothe and hydrate your skin and keep your tan moisturized. Don’t shave daily if you can help it. Using an electric razor is more gentle to your spray tan than a blade, allowing your tan to last longer.
