GET BEAUTY SERVICES DONE
Schedule your spray tan as the final beauty service appointment in your routine. Ensure that waxing, facials and brow treatments are completed at least 2 days before your spray tan. Nails, and massages should be done at least 24 hours prior to your spray tan session. This is due to the oils that can be left on your skin from these services. If you need to wash your hair, wash it before as you will want to wait to wash 24 hours after your spray tan appointment.
EXFOLIATE
Thoroughly scrub and exfoliate your entire body in the days leading up to your spray tan, with a particular emphasis on the day before. Use an OIL FREE scrub. I carry one for purchase please ask me about it if you are interested! IMPORTANT: Avoid exfoliating on the same day as your spray tan.
HYDRATE + MOISTURIZE
Maintain hydration and apply moisturizer consistently throughout the week before your spray tan to enhance its longevity. A moisturized tan is a happy tan! Refrain from wearing any moisturizer on the day of your spray tan session. If you use retinol, discontinue its use 1-2 days before and 1-2 days after the spray tan.
SHAVE + CLEAN
Remember, it’s necessary to wait 24 hours after your session before shaving or washing your hair. If needed, attend to these tasks before your session. Avoid shaving on the same day as your spray tan, as doing so can result in a dotted appearance due to open pores.
REMOVE ALL BARRIERS
Arrive for your session without applying lotions, perfumes, deodorants, or makeup. I do have makeup remover wipes for you if you are in a pinch!
WEAR BAGGY CLOTHING
Opt for loose or baggy clothing for your comfort after the session. Loose pants long sleeves are a good choice to prevent your hands from picking up any color on your arms.
