Spray tan basics (so it looks natural)
If you want a glow without the guesswork, sunless tanning is the easiest option. These tips help you avoid streaks, patchiness, and “too orange” results.
- Choose your depth: light, medium, or dark—medium is usually the safest first choice.
- Exfoliate 24 hours before and avoid heavy oils/lotions right before the appointment.
- Wear loose, dark clothing after your tan (and avoid tight waistbands).
- Plan around water: avoid showering, sweating, or swimming until your rinse time.
- Moisturize daily after to extend your tan and prevent patchiness.
Timing + wear guide
- Appointment time: 10–25 min
- First rinse: typically 6–12 hours (or “express” 1–4 hours)
- Best event timing: 2 days before
- Typical wear: 5–10 days (with good aftercare)
Pro tip: book your tan after waxing/shaving, not before.
What to ask before you book
- Is it airbrush or booth tanning?
- Do you offer express rinse options?
- Can I choose the shade level (light/medium/dark)?
- Do you have recommendations for sensitive skin?
- What’s the prep and aftercare checklist?
Tanning FAQ
Will a spray tan stain my clothes or sheets?
Some bronzer can transfer before your first rinse. Wear loose, dark clothing and use dark sheets or a towel if needed.
How do I make it last longer?
Moisturize daily, avoid harsh scrubs, and keep showers lukewarm. Pat skin dry instead of rubbing.
What should I avoid before my appointment?
Avoid heavy oils/lotions, deodorant, and perfumes right before your tan. Exfoliate the day before instead of the same day.
