See below for Pre-Tan Prep Instructions. It is essential to follow these steps to get the best results from your spray tan.

All other beauty services should be completed 1-2 days before spray tanning. This includes lashes, waxing, manicures, pedicures, facials, etc. A spray tan should be the last treatment on your beauty "to-do" list.

You can cover as much or as little as you like during your tan. Some like to spray nude, while others prefer to wear a swimsuit. It is whatever you are comfortable with. This is a judgement free zone!  Have hair pulled up and away from face, neck, and shoulders.
After your tan, it is best to wear loose, dark clothing and flip-flops. Do not wear tight-fitting clothes or closed-toed shoes and socks. This can cause the tan to rub off, causing unwanted results.

Following all post tan instructions is essential to achieving the best results from your spray tan. To increase your tan's longevity, follow all maintenance instructions.

The entire process takes about 30 minutes, from start to finish.

After the first rinse, it may look like you are no longer tan.  That is the cosmetic bronzer that has washed off.  You will see the full color after 24 hours after your spray.

The typical spray tan will last 5-10 days with proper care and upkeep. It is important to follow all pre and post-tan care directions to get the best quality tan possible.

No, absolutely not! I only use solution that is made of the highest quality, natural ingredients.

DHA is an ingredient derived from sugar cane and beets, which reacts with the amino acids in the skin to create the darkening reaction or tan.

Prep spray gently exfoliates and cleans the skin's surface by removing leftover lotion, soap, make-up, or deodorant. It ensures your skin is fully prepped for spray tanning to get optimal results.

Finishing power is applied immediately after your spray tan. It helps the bronzer remain fresh and prevents it from transferring to other surfaces. Finishing powder also helps set, seal, and dry the freshly applied spray tan.

Yes. Chlorine and salt water can break down the tan and dry your skin. Make sure to apply a spray tan-safe sunscreen, like Sun Bum lotion, to create a barrier between the water and your skin. Rinse with fresh water after getting out of the water. Limit time in the hot tub as the hot water and chemicals can also break down the tan.

Yes! Spray tanning will not protect your skin from harmful UV rays. I recommend Sun Bum sunscreen lotion.

No. The visible effects of peeling skin will be much more noticeable. The only way to cover that will be body make-up. Spray tan solution can even cause the skin to peel much sooner. If you have had sunburn in the last 3 months, there is a risk your tan will peel.

Consult with your doctor to determine if spray tanning is right for you.

I will come to your desired location and spray you on-site. I bring a spray tan tent and need an open area to set up with a good lighting and an electrical outlet.
