A spray tan typically lasts about 7 days. Longevity depends on your skin type, how well you prep beforehand, and how you care for your skin afterward.

For the best results:
• Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment
• Shave or wax at least 24 hours before
• Arrive with clean, dry skin with no lotions, oils, deodorant, or makeup

Wear dark, loose fitting clothing and sandals. Tight clothing can rub against your skin and interfere with the way your tan develops.

You can wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. Some clients choose a swimsuit, underwear, or pasties, and others prefer to tan topless. Everything is completely based on your comfort level.

Rinse between 2.5 and 8 hours after your appointment, depending on the solution used and the depth of color you prefer. I will give you your exact rinse time after your consultation. Your first rinse should be a warm water rinse only with no soap or scrubbing. After that, wait a full 24 hours before your first real shower.

Avoid exercise, sweating, and water exposure during the first 24 hours while your tan is developing. After that, you can return to your normal routine.

There may be temporary color transfer from the cosmetic bronzer during the first few hours. It usually washes out of most fabrics. I recommend wearing dark clothing and using dark sheets right after your appointment.

Most appointments take about 20 minutes. This includes your consultation, the spray tan, and a short drying period.

Many expectant and breastfeeding clients choose sunless tanning as a safer alternative to UV exposure. Always check with your doctor first. If you are breastfeeding, I recommend wearing a strapless bra or pasties to keep the chest area product free.

Absolutely! For weddings, photoshoots, vacations, or special occasions, I recommend scheduling your tan one or two days before the event for the most settled and even color.

No. A spray tan does not contain SPF. You will still need to apply sunscreen any time you are outside.
