SPRAY TANNING PREP
GET ALL BEAUTY SERVICES DONE
Your spray tan should be the last of your beauty service appointments. Waxing/Facials should be done at least 3 days prior. Nails should be done at least 24 hours prior or 24 hours after.
EXFOLIATE
Really scrub and exfoliate your entire body the week leading up to your spray tan with an emphasis on the day before. Do not exfoliate the same day as your spray tan.
HYDRATE & MOISTURIZE
Hydrate and moisturize the week leading up to your spray tan. This will increase vour spray tans longevity. Do not wear any moisturizer the day of your spray tan. If using retinol, stop use 3 days prior and 3 days after.
SHAVE & CLEAN
Come with clean hair and shaved skin. You will need to wait 24 hours after your session to shave or wash vour hair again. Try to not shave the same day as your spray tan - this can leave a dotted look due to open pores.

Come ready to your session without any lotions, perfumes, deodorants, makeup. Please wear loose/ baggy clothing.
