Question 1

Pre-Tan Preparation

Accepted Answer

Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment - this is the most important step to achieving a flawless tan!

Shower the night before your tan. If you need to shower the day of your tan, make sure it's at least 4 hours before your appointment

All other beauty appointments should be done the day before your tan (ie waxing, manicures, pedicures and facials)

Make sure you are not wearing any deodorant, makeup, moisturiser, perfume or oil when you come to your appointment

Wear dark, loose fitting clothing to your appointment. Avoid bike shorts, jeans, socks, bras etc

Question 2

Post-Tan Care

Accepted Answer

Avoid activities that will cause you to sweat or get wet until the tan has fully developed

Avoid skin to skin contact (ie crossing legs, or hands touching other parts of the body) until your first rinse

Keep your first rinse short - shower in luke warm water with no soap. 40-50 seconds should be enough, or until the water runs clear. Don't panic if you see the bronzer washing off, this is normal. Your tan will continue to develop for the next 24 hours.

When drying after showers, pat dry and do not rub. Avoid long baths/showers.

Moisturise twice daily and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Hydrated skin will help your tan last longer and fade evenly.

Try to avoid shaving for as long as possible

Question 3

When should I get my spray tan?

Accepted Answer

If your spray tan is for an event, we would recommend tanning two days prior to the event. However, if your spray tan is for a holiday then we would recommend getting it the day before.

Question 4

What do I wear during my appointment?

Accepted Answer

You're welcome to wear as much or as little as you like - whatever makes you feel most comfortable! We do have complimentary disposable g-strings available.

Question 5

What do I wear after my appointment?

Accepted Answer

It's best to wear loose, dark clothing and sandles to avoid any clothing rubbing against your tan. Avoid tight clothing such as bike shorts, leggings, jeans, socks, bras etc.

Question 6

How long will my tan last?

Accepted Answer

Your spray tan should last up to a week. However, this is dependent on your unique skin and spray tan care routine. It's important to properly prepare and maintain your skin to ensure a long-lasting tan with an even fade.

Question 7

Will my spray tan protect me from UV rays?

Accepted Answer

No - spray tans do not protect you from the sun. It's important to wear sunscreen even with a spray tan.
