FAQ

BEFORE YOUR TAN

  • Please shower 4 hours or more before your appointment

  • Exfoliate with a non-oil-based scrub and exfoliating glove or cloth

  • Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment

  • Show up to your appointment with bare skin; no lotions, deodorant, oils, makeup, or perfume on the skin. I understand Colorado is dry, so you may apply body lotion at least 8 hours before your tan if you wish, allowing it to soak in fully before your tan

  • Your spray tan should be the last of your beauty services after hair, mani/pedis, waxing, facials, massages, etc

DURING YOUR TAN

  • Bring loose, dark clothing to your appointment

  • Disposable hair nets, nippie covers, and thongs will be available to you, or you may go fully nude if you wish. Whatever you’re comfortable with!

  • At the beginning of your appointment, we’ll discuss your skin type, skin tone, and desired color outcome

  • Your tan will be finished with full-body setting powder to minimize stickiness and color transfer to your clothes and sheets while your tan develops

AFTER YOUR TAN

  • Wear loose, dark clothing, and sandals or loose shoes (no socks please) throughout the development time of your tan. Skip the bra or any other tight clothing that might rub on your tan

  • Don’t touch your tan during development

  • Avoid showering, swimming, or working out/sweating for at least 10-12 hours after your first rinse

  • If your tan is developing overnight while sleeping, wear loose, long sleeves and pants to bed and avoid skin-on-skin contact

  • When rinsing your spray tan off, just use water - NO SOAP

  • Moisturize morning and night to prolong the life of your tan. A great spray tan-safe moisturizer is Ceravé (the blue and white pump bottle)

  • Avoid oil-based products that will strip the tan

  • Excessive showers, hot tubbing and swimming, shaving, washing of the face/hands, and working out will fade your spray tan faster
