Spray Tan Prep— FAQ

How should I prepare for my spray tan?

For best results:

  • Shower and exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment

  • If you want to shave or wax, do this 24–48 hours prior

  • Arrive with clean, dry skin

  • Avoid lotions, oils, deodorant, makeup, perfume, and sunscreen the day of your tan

This allows the solution to absorb evenly and last longer.

Should I exfoliate?

Yes—exfoliation is key.

  • Exfoliate the day before, not the day of

  • Focus on dry areas (elbows, knees, ankles, hands, feet)

  • Avoid oil-based scrubs

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear loose, dark clothing and open-toed shoes (flip flops or slides are best). Tight clothing and light colors can rub or stain while your tan is developing.

Can I work out or shave the day of my tan?

  • You may work out before your appointment, but please shower afterward

  • Avoid shaving or waxing the day of—this can cause irritation and uneven color
