Preparing for Your Spray Tan
Your glow starts before you arrive.
For the most flawless, long-lasting results, please follow these preparation steps prior to your appointment.
- Shower, shave, and exfoliate preferably the night before your tan to create the perfect canvas for even color.
- Arrive with clean skin only — no makeup, lotion, deodorant, perfume, or oils. (We have wipes available if needed.)
- Hydrate and moisturize in the days leading up to your appointment to keep skin healthy and ready for color.
- Complete all other beauty services such as waxing, facials, nails, or massages at least 24 hours before your spray tan.
- Bring bikini bottoms or a thong if you prefer not to tan nude.
- Men are required to wear bottoms, and we recommend briefs for the best results.
- Wear loose, dark clothing and sandals if possible after your appointment.
Before your appointment, please complete our spray tan waiver.
Spray Tan Aftercare
Protect and extend your Bronzed Babes glow.
Proper aftercare allows your tan to develop beautifully and fade evenly.
- Avoid touching your skin until it’s time to rinse.
- Your first rinse should be water only, using your hands to gently remove the cosmetic bronzer.
- Do not apply any products to the skin until the following day to allow the tan to fully develop.
- After the first 24 hours, use only gentle body wash when showering — no Dove products. We recommend the body wash we carry in the salon that is specifically formulated for spray tans.
- Moisturize daily with a gentle lotion to help your tan last longer and fade evenly.
- Chlorine and saltwater can cause your tan to fade more quickly than usual.
- As your tan naturally fades after about a week, you can gently remove the remaining color with an exfoliating mitt to prepare your skin for your next tan.
- For seamless touch-ups between appointments, we recommend our Bronzed Babes tanning mousse.
