Before your appointment!
Shower 4-24 hours before your appointment. It is very important that you don't shower directly before your appointment, as your pores become enlarged afterwards, causing an overabsorption of solution.
Shave or wax and exfoliate 24 hours before your spray tanning appointment.
Manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, and other spa treatments should be completed the day before your spray tan appointment.
Moisturize and drink plenty of water the days leading up to your appointment. This makes a tremendous difference!

Refrain from applying oils, perfumes, lotions, makeup, and deodorant the day of your appointment. The spray tan solution needs a clean slate to work with to absorb into the skin evenly.
Avoid Dove and Bath and Body Works products at all costs. Commercial brands will leave a layer on your skin that acts as a barrier for the spray tan solution to absorb into the skin.
What to wear?
We recommend wearing loose, dark-colored clothing to prevent the solution from rubbing off. Avoid tight-fitting garments or anything that may cause friction against your skin right after the tan, as this allows the solution to fully absorb and develop. Additionally, consider bringing flip-flops or sandals to keep your feet smudge-free.
