Frequently Asked Questions

  • EXFOLIATING is very important — removing old, dead skin will ensure flawless coverage. If you have a remnants of your old tan, be sure to remove that, too. I recommend starting this process two days prior to your appointment. DO NOT exfoliate or shave the day of your appointment!!

    The night before your tan - Shower, shave and exfoliate your skin. When you get out of the shower, do not apply any lotion or perfume on your body (a small amount of lotion on your face is ok). You want your skin to be squeaky-clean and even a little "thirsty" the next day at your appointment. "Thirsty" skin more readily absorbs the tanning solution. Forgot to shower and shave the night before your appointment? Skip it all and come as you are. Trust us, you’ll love your tan WAY more and we'll give you tips on how to shave with a spray tan on.

    NO LOTION, MAKEUP OR DEODORANT – Arrive to your appointment with completely clean skin. This can alter the look and application of your tan

  • NO TIGHT CLOTHING: NO YOGA PANTS OR JEANS! Tight pants will rub your tan off and cause uneven development. Jeans are too abrasive and will rub of your tan as well. Bring/wear dark, loose-fitted clothing. Sweatpants, shorts, sundress, loose t-shirt, etc.,

    PREPARE FOR RAIN: If rain is forecasted for the day of your appointment, don’t panic. As long as you cover up when you leave you’ll be fine! Wear a rain coat, bring an umbrella, wear long pants, long sleeves, etc. I carry rain ponchos should you forget to prepare.

  • Most clients tan topless with their underwear, you can wear your bra and underwear, bathing suit bottom and top or I provide disposable thongs and bras. Be prepared to get bronzer on the item you are tanning in. (IT WASHES OUT) I am good with whatever you are comfortable in! But, be mindful if you’re getting a tan for an occasion and your tan lines, less is better. Also, plenty of women tan nude (especially those going on vacation) and I’m perfectly comfortable with that, we are all women here.

  • FIRST BRONZER RINSE: Before you leave I will give you rinse time, it’s important that you rinse off the bronzer (what I spray on you) when I tell you to, to avoid over-processing and to achieve the color we have discussed during your appointment. Rinse really well, until the water runs clear. If you see any streaking, keep rinsing as you did not remove all the bronzer.

    SOAP/BODY WASH I do not recommend over-the-counter soaps, but I can tell you to avoid Dove soap while you have a spray tan.

    STAY HYDRATED A good moisturizer will protect and preserve your spray tan and use a tan extender to extend the life of your tan. I do not recommend over-the-counter lotions, if you want to use them, that is your discretion. Ask me for recommendations!

    PAT DRY, do not rub. Be gentle with your spray tan.

    NO HOT TUBS: Water is a natural exfoliant. Hot tubs, pools and salt water will greatly fade your tan. Before you go in the pool or ocean, make sure you apply sunscreen, it will help to act as a barrier between the water and your spray tan. As soon as you get out of the water, rinse off in the shower if one is nearby.

  • 1 to 3 Days Before an Event

    2 Days Before your Wedding: To make sure all the bronzer is rinsed off before you put on your wedding dress.

    1 Day Before your Vacation: So it lasts the longest and make sure you take some tan extender to take with you!

    On Wednesdays if you like to be tan all the time. If you come in weekly, this is the ideal day, it will take you through the rest of the week and the weekend nice and bronzed.

    FYI: Spray tans can take up to 24-hours to fully develop.
