1. Prep Your Skin the Right Way

Start with a full-body exfoliation 24–48 hours before your appointment. Removing dead skin cells creates a smooth, clean canvas that helps the tanning solution absorb evenly and last longer. How do I prepare for my spray tan?

 2. Avoid Moisturizers and Oils Before Your Tan

Start with a full-body exfoliation 24–48 hours before your appointment. Removing dead skin cells creates a smooth, clean canvas that helps the tanning solution absorb evenly and last longer.

 3. Wear Loose, Dark Clothing

Right after your tan, choose loose-fitting, dark clothing to prevent smudging or transfer. Avoid tight straps or elastic bands, especially in the first 24 hours, as they can create pressure marks on your fresh tan.

4. Wait to Shower — and Be Gentle

Allow your tan to develop for 8–12 hours (or follow the rinse guide if you had a Rapid Tan). Use lukewarm water for your first rinse and a gentle, sulfate-free soap the next day. Always pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing. Custom Spray Tan service

5. Hydrate Inside and Out

Drink plenty of water and apply a tan-safe moisturizer daily to help your glow last longer. Avoid lotions that contain alcohol, artificial fragrance, or mineral oils, as these ingredients can break down your tan faster. Staying hydrated also keeps your skin supple and radiant.
