Are you tired of streaky, orange-tinted self-tans or baking in the sun for hours to achieve a bronzed look? Look no further than spray tans! With the right preparation and aftercare, a spray tan can give you a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow without the harmful UV rays.
See below for what to do before, during and after your professional spray tan.

Before your spray tan
Exfoliate your skin the day before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and ensure an even application.
Avoid using any deodorant, oils or lotions on your skin the day of the appointment, as they can act as a barrier and prevent the tan from adhering properly.
Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment, as the spray tan solution can rub off on tight or light-coloured clothing.
During your spray tan
Make sure to communicate with your technician about your desired level of colour and any areas you would like to avoid or emphasise.
Allow the solution to dry completely before getting dressed.
After your spray tan
Wait at least 1-3 hours (depending on product and colour preference) before showering. This is a quick, 30 second rinse with water only.
Dab dry with your towel and do not apply any products to your skin until the following day as the tan will still be developing.
Using Ph balanced body wash and moisturising daily will help prolong your tan.
With these tips in mind, you'll be on your way to achieving a flawless, natural-looking spray tan. Happy tanning!
