PREP INFO:

*IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ALL*

Before the Magic Happens (Spoiler: It's Me, I'm the Magic)

SHAVE + EXFOLIATE. Smooth skin = better tan. Shave any unwanted hair and exfoliate from head to toe the night before your appointment using a dry brush or exfoliating mitt/gloves. Skip the sugar scrubs! They might smell nice, but they leave behind oil and residue that can mess with your tan’s development.

Proper exfoliation is non-negotiable, especially if you’re working with an old spray tan. Tanning over leftovers? That’s like painting over chipped nail polish — uneven and not cute.

NO PRODUCTS. Skip out on the lotions, deodorants, oils, and fragrances the DAY OF your tan. These products can all create a barrier between your skin and the spray tan resulting in an uneven tan, green armpits, and blotchiness. Ew.

WASHING YOUR HAIR. Make sure to wash your hair prior or plan out your hair washing schedule to avoid washing your hair the day of your tan. Ingredients in shampoo & conditioner can interfere with development of your spray tan. I’d aim for 4+hours before or 24 hours after the tan. 

PLAN YOUR DAY ACCORDINGLY. We get it... Your world doesn't stop spinning because you're spray tanning…but please plan on wearing loose dark clothing, & have no exposure to water (cooking/washing dishes/bathing kids) and no heavy sweating the day of your tan.

What Do I Wear for My Appointment?

Whatever you’re comfy in, babe — swimsuit, thong, birthday suit… we’ve seen it all. If you prefer a little coverage, we’ve got disposable undies ready for you. Just ask!

After your tan, it’s loose and dark everything — no tight bras, leggings, or closed-toed shoes. Let your tan develop without drama.

Sleeping in your tan? Long sleeves + long pants = no stained sheets, no patchy thighs.

PS: We sell super cute, oversized spray tan–friendly merch — soft, stylish, and designed to keep your tan flawless and your fit on point. Trust us, you’ll want to live in it.

Do I Spray Tan Before or After Other Beauty Treatments?

Your spray tan should be the last step in your beauty routine, period. Massages, waxing, mani/pedis, etc. should all occur a minimum of 4-24 hours before your spray tan appointment. All of these services have their own products that can create a barrier between your skin and the spray tan. Or when utilized afterwards, can fade or strip the tan.

How Long Does the Tan Last?

With proper prep and aftercare, expect your tan to last a solid 7–10 days — but that depends on what you’re putting on your skin. Most drugstore products? Full of sketchy ingredients like alcohol, sulfates, and synthetic fragrance that love to ruin a good tan.

That’s why we’ve got your back (and your legs, arms, face... you get it).
Our spray tan–safe body wash, lotion, and face mist are made to keep your skin hydrated, happy, and your color looking fresh longer.

Use the good stuff, keep your skin moisturized, and your tan will go the distance.
