Spray Tan Pre-Care & After-Care Advice

Ensure all shaving is carried out at least 24 hours prior to your Spray Tan, and waxing at least 48 hours prior to your treatment
Exfoliate your skin, for 2-3 days is possible, prior to your Spray Tan using an exfoliating body scrub & loofah/exfoliating gloves
Keep your skin well moisturised for 2-3 days prior to your Spray Tan
Avoid skin care products with contain excessive amounts of oil and/or are oil based. Oil will sit on the surface of your skin and our tanning solutions will not be able to develop to its full potential
We advise clients to wear a clear nail polish on their finger and toe nails as this will prevent any unlikely nail discolouration

Please do not apply deodorant, perfumes, make-up or moisturisers 6 hours prior to your treatment – or – please ensure all of these products are rinsed off with clean water before your Spray Tan
Arrive for your Spray Tan with dry hair, as wet hair may drip onto your skin and cause an un-even result
Avoid wearing white (or your best!) underwear as our Spray Tanning solutions may mark the garments, although in most cases the tanning solution we use will wash out of your clothing. We can provide you with disposable panties if required
Remember to bring loose clothing and flip flops with you to wear after your Spray Tan. The first few hours after application are the most crucial, and any tight fitting clothing may affect the results

Avoid wearing bra straps after your Spray Tanning treatment as this may affect the results
Please wait at least the time advised by your therapist before you shower, and pat yourself dry with a towel afterwards
Avoid excessive scratching/rubbing after your Spray Tan
Avoid exercise straight after your Spray Tan, as you do not want to sweat the developing tan away. After you have rinsed your guide colour off, exercising as normal is fine
After your first shower, keep your skin really well moisturised with an oil-free product. This will keep your tan looking even and natural
If you need to shave after your first shower, please do so lightly as shaving promotes skin exfoliation
Please try to avoid long baths and/or showers as this may shorten the life of your Spray Tan
Avoid saunas, steam rooms and chlorinated swimming pools as these luxuries promote skin exfoliation
Towards the end of the 7 days you will see your Spray Tan is starting to fade in places, usually around the bra line. This is when you can now start to lightly exfoliate using a gentle body scrub to keep an even colour
REMEMBER – your Spray Tan does not contain an SPF, please wear an oil-free protection
