Spray Tan Session Prep

  • -Shower and gently exfoliate with a loofah or washcloth (avoid sugar scrubs).

    -Focus on dry areas: neck, elbows, armpits, feet, and ankles.

    -Use shower gel, not bar soap (avoid Dove).

    -Remove all lotions, perfumes, deodorants (exfoliate armpits), makeup, or previous bronzers.

    -Complete all other spa services before your session.

    -Wax at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

    -Avoid topicals such as retinols for about a week prior to spray.

    Sunburn Warning

    -Spray tans should not be applied over recent bad sunburns.

    -If you’ve had a severe sunburn in the past few months on any area that will be exposed, do not have that area sprayed.

    -Notify us at the time of your appointment or contact us before booking.

  • -Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment or immediately after your tan.

    -Bring a change of loose clothing if needed; tight clothing can affect results.

    -Opt for loose shoes or flip-flops.

    -Avoid tight bras or sports bras with straps that can’t be tucked to prevent rubbing.

    -Male clients must wear underwear or a bathing suit during the session.

  • After Your Tan – Travel Tips

    In Michigan weather, bring an umbrella to stay dry after your appointment.

    On hot days, a fresh tan may cause sweating, especially on your legs. Bring a towel to sit on in your car if needed.

  • -Avoid getting wet, exercising, or sweating for 8–12 hours.

    -You may feel slightly sticky until your first shower—this is normal.

    -Some surface color may wash off during your first shower; this is expected.

    -A properly cared-for tan lasts 5–7 days (up to 10 days for some).

    -We offer aftercare products to maintain and extend your glow.
