Ready to glow without the sun? A custom sunless tan is the fastest, safest way to get that bronzed, just-back-from-vacation look. No UV rays required. But for the best results, prep seriously matters!
Whether it’s your first spray tan or your weekly glow-up, here’s how to prep for sunless tanning like a pro:
✨ Your Pre-Tan Glow Guide ✨
1. Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!!
Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt 24 hours before your appointment to slough off dead skin cells. A smooth base = an even, streak-free tan that lasts longer.
2. Shave or wax at least a day ahead
Hair removal should happen 24 hours prior, not right before your tan, to avoid irritation and uneven color.
3. Avoid lotion, oil, and deodorant on tanning day
These products can create a barrier that blocks the tan from absorbing properly. Come with clean, dry skin for the best application.
4. Wear dark, loose-fitting clothes
Tight clothes can rub off the solution. Go comfy, and opt for dark colors just in case of any transfer.
5. Plan ahead
Avoid sweating, showering, or swimming for at least 8–10 hours after your tan to let the color fully develop.
