Wax or shave at least 48 hours prior

to treatment. This allows the pores time to close. Dotting in pores may appear if not adhered to.

Don’t apply any moisturizer, perfume, deodorant or makeup on the day of your spray tan.

These products may act as a barrier against your skin and can prevent the DHA tanning actives from developing evenly.

Wear dark, loose fitting clothing as well as loose, slip on shoes or sandals to your appointment or have them with you to change into. If you choose to keep your undergarments on, please make sure they are black! The solution will stain lighter shades.

After your Spray Tan

Tight clothing or underwear may cause marks.

Wear shoes that slide on or are loose fitting.

Shower lightly in cold - lukewarm water for 45 seconds after 2 hours for a light tan, 3 hours for a medium tan. The longer the tan is left on, the darker the tan will be; do not exceed 5 hours. Do not use shower gels, scrubs, shampoos or a loofah during the first 24 hours after your treatment.

Pat dry and use aftercare products

Aftercare products are available in studio for purchase.

Avoid sweating and don’t exercise or swim for the first 24 hours after your spray tan treatment.

Bride + Bridal Party Information

GET A TRIAL SPRAY TAN BEFORE

Just like most brides do a hair and makeup trial before the big day, it’s important to do a spray tan trial to guarantee that you get the color just right. During this trial, you can work with your spray tan artist to perfect your color and ask any questions you have before the wedding. This preparation will help you feel more confident when you go to your pre-wedding appointment. Wondering when you should get your trial spray tan? That depends on your preference and schedule, but you could get it as far in advance as a month or as close as (3) weeks to the wedding date.

GET YOUR SPRAY TAN AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING

Spray tans always look best at least a day or two after your appointment so make sure to give yourself enough time between your appointment and the big day. We recommend getting your wedding spray tan about (2) days in advance. This also gives you time to even out your tan if it doesn’t turn out exactly how you imagined.

BRIDAL TAN PACKAGE

The bridal tan package includes (2) custom airbrush tans for your big day! — Tan (1) is a “trial run” tan that should be used 30 days before “I do.” Tan (2) is your final tan that should be used no sooner than (2) days before “I do.” The final tan includes an aftercare package to care for your tan. Each tan includes consultation, pH balancer application, sticky feet + barrier cream application, tan-lucent drying powder application, sticky feet + barrier cream blending/removal.

Package requires a $40 deposit when booking.

HOW TO PREP YOUR SKIN FOR SUNLESS TANNING:

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE

Sunless tanning is a fantastic way to achieve a sun-kissed glow without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays. However, to get the most even and natural-looking tan, prepping your skin is crucial. The secret to a flawless sunless tan lies in proper exfoliation. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to prepare your skin for sunless tanning and explain why exfoliation is best.

WHY EXFOLIATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SUNLESS TANNING

Before diving into the specifics of how to prep your skin, it’s important to understand why exfoliation is such a critical step. Exfoliating your skin helps to remove dead skin cells, ensuring a smoother surface for the tanning product to adhere to. This process not only enhances the absorption of the tanning solution but also prevents the tan from looking patchy or uneven.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO PREPPING YOUR SKIN

Choose the Right Exfoliant: The first step is selecting an effective exfoliant. We have several exfoliants to choose from in studio.

Shower and Cleanse: Start by taking a warm shower to open up your pores and soften your skin. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and impurities.

Exfoliate with a Body Polish: Apply body polish in circular motions, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. This will help slough off dead skin cells and create an even canvas for the tanning product.

Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse off the body polish thoroughly to ensure no residue is left on your skin. Any leftover product can interfere with the absorption of the tanning solution.

Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing your skin, as this can cause irritation and disrupt the smooth surface you’ve just created.

DON'T MISS OUT - GET YOUR GLOW NOW

Prepping your skin for sunless tanning doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right products and a simple routine, you can achieve a flawless, natural-looking tan.
