Prep Instructions
Accessing your prep instructions both before and after booking helps you avoid unnecessary stress and saves valuable time. Please review them carefully, and don’t hesitate to reach out to your Spray Tan Artist with any questions or concerns.
[ THE DAY BEFORE ]
This is your all-in shower—the one that sets the stage for your best tan yet.
-
Start by shampooing and conditioning your hair so no residue runs down your skin later.
-
Shave all desired areas using a moisturizing, non-oily shaving cream.
-
Finish with a thorough exfoliation using an oil-free scrub and exfoliating mitt. Exfoliating last removes every trace of product, leaving your skin clean and ready to glow.
-
Skip Dove, Tree Hut, or any heavy, oil-based products—they interfere with the spray tan solution and can ruin your results.
Pro Tip: Stick to lukewarm water—hot showers strip the skin and dry it out.
After your shower, apply only a light layer of lotion to keep skin balanced.
And don’t forget—hydration starts inside. Drink water consistently throughout the day to prep your skin from within.
[ THE DAY OF ]
Today is all about keeping your skin clean, dry, and product-free.
-
Skip the shower gels, oils, lotions, deodorants, and perfumes. Anything on your skin creates a barrier and prevents the solution from fully developing.
-
Arrive with clean, dry skin—no exceptions.
-
Wear loose, dark clothing and open-toed shoes to avoid smudging or staining.
-
Avoid tight bras, leggings, or jeans; friction will rub off your fresh tan before it has a chance to set.
Pro Tip: If you must shower the day of, make it quick, cool, and product-free. A gentle rinse only—no scrubbing.
Remember: the cleaner and more product-free your skin is, the better your tan will develop.
