✨ Pre-Tan Prep: Read This Before You Glow ✨

To get the most flawless, long-lasting results from your spray tan, proper prep is essential. Here’s everything you need to know:

🗓 Schedule Smart

• Waxing or laser hair removal? Book those appointments 2–3 days before your spray tan.
• Shaving? Do it at least 3–4 hours before your appointment (12-24 hours before is best).
• Ideal prep window: Shave and exfoliate 12–24 hours beforehand.

🧼 Exfoliate Like a Pro

• Start exfoliating days in advance to remove dead skin.
• Use a proper exfoliating mitt (available on Amazon or in-studio). Loofahs, body scrubs, and dry brushing alone won’t cut it.
• Hydrate from the inside out: drink water and moisturize daily leading up to your appointment.

🚿 Day-Of Instructions

• Arrive to your appointment clean and product-free:
– No makeup, deodorant, perfume, oils, or lotions.
• If you must moisturize due to dry skin, do so at least 3–4 hours before your appointment.

👗 What to Wear

• Wear loose, dark clothing after your session.
• Slides, clogs, or flip-flops are best. If it’s raining, bring loose socks and rain boots or birkenstock/crocs.
• Leave your jewelry at home or remove it before your appointment.

🧴 Skincare Guidelines

• Pause use of retinol, glycolic acid, and other active serums for 7–10 days before your appointment.
• Vitamin C is okay, but avoid it the day of your tan.

🚫 Microneedling Warning

• If you’ve had microneedling in the last 2–3 weeks, please reschedule.
• After spray tanning, wait at least 10 days before microneedling.

☁️ Post-Tan Care: Keep That Glow Glorious ☁️

You just got your glow on — now let’s keep it looking fresh, flawless, and radiant for as long as possible. Follow these golden rules to make your tan last and fade beautifully:

🚿 The First Rinse

• Rinse at the time recommended by your spray tan technician (2–12 hrs depending on your tan type).
• This is a lukewarm water-only rinse — no soap, shampoo, conditioner.
• Your “everything shower” (with all the goods) happens 12-24 hours later.

✨ Tip: During your rinse, gently use your hands to help wash off all the bronzer. Check yourself in the mirror to ensure no streaks remain. If you see any — hop back in!

💧 Stay Dry Until Rinse

Avoid all water, sweat, or skin-on-skin contact before that first rinse — including… peeing on yourself (yup, we went there).
• Use the squat method to pee (especially if you're a woman).
• Absolutely no peeing in the shower during your first rinse — trust us.

🧖‍♀️ After Rinsing

• Pat, don’t rub your skin dry with a towel.
• Moisturize like it’s your religion — daily, starting right after your “everything shower.”
• Drink lots of water and minimize alcohol (it’s super dehydrating to your skin).
• Stick to spray tan-safe body wash and moisturizers — ask us for our top picks!
• Avoid actives like retinol and glycolic acid — Vitamin C is okay, just not on spray day.

💦 Sweat + Chlorine

• Avoid sweating excessively (hot yoga, saunas, HIIT) unless you got The Forever Glow (our sweat-resistant tan).
• Swimming? Chlorine breaks down your tan. Minimize pool time or choose the Forever Glow for vacation-proof colour.

✨ Keep It Simple

• Use water-based skincare — avoid oils or heavy actives.
• Spray perfume on hair or clothing, not directly on your skin.
• Use natural or aluminum-free deodorant to avoid patchiness.

⛔ Microneedling?

• Wait at least 10 days after your tan before doing microneedling.
• If you’ve microneedled in the last 2–3 weeks, reschedule your tan — trust us, it won’t go on evenly.

💫 Keep That Glow Glowing 💫

You've nailed the glow — now here’s how to make it last (and fade gracefully):

🚿 Shower Smarter

• Short, cool showers > long, hot ones.
• Limit showers overall after your first two.
• Always pat dry — no rubbing!

🧼 Gentle Is the Name of the Game

• Skip exfoliating products (no scrubs, no actives, no loofahs).
• Avoid harsh soaps, alcohols, parabens, and mineral oils — they strip your tan.
• Stick to spray tan-safe, hydrating body wash (ask us if you need recs!).

💪 Skip the Sweat (Mostly)

• No HIIT, hot yoga, or saunas unless you’ve got The Forever Glow (our sweat-resistant tan).
• If you do, you can be a little naughty — but still be gentle!

🏊‍♀️ Pool + Ocean Etiquette

• Chlorine = tan killer. Avoid pools + hot tubs if you can.
• Saltwater and oceans are gentler, but limit exposure.

🪒 If You Must Shave

• Wait as long as possible after your tan.
• Use a clean, sharp razor (no moisturizing strips).
• Shave gently with a light touch and plenty of glide.

💧 Hydration = Tan Preservation

• Moisturize twice daily with tan-friendly lotion.
• Drink lots of water, and add electrolytes to boost skin hydration.

🎉 Most Importantly...

Have fun, feel confident, and enjoy your glow.
You’re radiant, and everyone can see it.
