Process During Your Spray Tan
Home Preparation
Upon arriving to your appointment, I will provide you with a personalised consultation. This will ensure the best result and maintenance of your tan. I will customise your Spray Tan to suit your complexion and help you achieve your desired results.
You will be spray tanned in a spray tan tent
Keep in mind to have direct access to a wall outlet and appropriate lighting.
Please choose a room that has space and that you are comfortable for me to set up.
I can tan clients in garages, outside decks and bathrooms, non carpeted areas.
Please also be aware that the spray tan machine can be loud so choose an area that won't interfere with a sleeping baby or other family members in your home.
Preparation Before Spray Tan
Exfoliate 24 hours before your tan to remove dead skin cells for an even finish.Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior.Avoid moisturisers, deodorant, perfume & oils on the day of your tan as they can create a barrier and a green stain reaction due to the Dihydroxyacetone in the tanning solution.Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment to prevent rubbing or staining.Remove makeup & jewellery before your session.
Aftercare Tips for a longer lasting Glow

Pat dry, don’t rub.Moisturise daily to keep your tan lasting longer and fading evenly.Avoid exfoliating products & harsh scrubs until you’re ready for your next tan.
