Spray Tans


Spray Tan


  • Prep

    When coming to your appointment please remember to:


    Shave/wax 48 hrs prior to your appointment.


    Exfoliate 24 hrs before your appointment.


    Do not apply any moisturiser, skincare products, perfume, or deodorant before the appointment.


    Shower before your appointment but not too hot as this will open pores in the skin.


    Do not have any heat treatments/facials/laser treatments within 24 hrs of the appointment.


    Wear loose dark clothes as tan will transfer.


  • Aftercare

    Leave tan for recommended development time before showering.


    Pat dry after shower, do not rub tan.


    Avoid taking long baths/swimming  as this will cause the tan to fade.


    After your first shower keep your skin moisturised, this will keep your tan looking even and extend the tan life.


    Avoid oily products as this will remove the tan.


    When shaving be light as this can cause an exfoliation.


    Towards the end of the 7 days you will see your tan starting to fade, you can use a gentle exfoliator to remove the tan evenly.


    You can use a tanning moisturiser daily to prolong the tan life. Tan should last 5-7 days.

  • How long will my tan last?

    A spray tan should last 5-7 days if maintained well. 


    Moisturising daily will help this, you can even use a tanning moisturiser to extend the tan life.

  • Why has my tan faded so quick?

    Not  moisturising daily


    When the skin becomes too dry the skin cells on the surface begin to flake off, taking your tan with them. 

    Hydrating the skin with a rich moisturiser will slow down the skin’s natural regeneration process and help your tan last longer.


    Long baths

    Taking a long bath / shower will fade the tan. Be sure to have a quick wash in order to not spend so much time in water. 


    Swimming

    Prolonged contact with chlorine and water can break down a tan so it’s best to avoid long swimming sessions to help retain your golden glow.


    Skincare products


    If using skincare products on your face daily you will find this can fade the tan quciker. You can use tanning drops in your moisturiser or a tanning cream.
