Glow Girl Glow...Tips To Prep For Your Spray Tan

The perfect spray tan has a lot to do with the preparation prior to arriving at your appointment and in order to get the best results use the following steps to ready, set, glow!

Hair Free = Care Free…Waxing and Shaving

Shaving should be completed at least 6 hours prior to the tan application. Have an evening appointment? Shave the morning of or the night before.

Waxing is where it’s at to create a long lasting and smooth finish to your spray tan but avoid doing it on the day of your tan application. For best results wax 48 hours prior to your appointment.

Smooth Operator…

Exfoliation is a crucial preparation step in preparing for your spray tan. Use an exfoliation product along with exfoliation gloves or a loofah to create a smooth canvas and guarantee even development of the spray tan product.

Body Products are a No, No…

Arrive at your spray tan appointment free of any body products; moisturisers, body oils, deodorant, make ups and creams are out! These products create a barrier between your skin and the spray tan product and will cause an uneven result.

Plan Your Outfit…

Solution can rub off on clothes and tight seams can cause uneven results. Avoid all of this by wearing loose fitting dark clothing (preferably cotton) to your appointment.

Maintaining the Summer Glow After Your Spray Tan

Cool Runnings…

Super hot showers fade a spray tan more quickly and can cause unevenness. Cool(ish) showers will help preserve the eveness of the tan.

Oil Up…

Keep well moisturized! Moisturising after every shower is one of the best things you can do to preserve the appearance and length of the tan.
