Preparing for a spray is essential to ensure a smooth and even application and to maximize the longevity of your tan. Here are step-by-step preparation instructions for a spray tan: Exfoliate: Begin preparing your skin by exfoliating it thoroughly. Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin cells, especially in areas prone to dryness like knees, elbows, and ankles. Exfoliating helps create an even surface for the spray tan and prevents patchiness. Shave or wax: If you need to remove hair, do so before your spray tan appointment. Shaving or waxing after a spray tan can cause uneven fading and streaks. Hydrate: Moisturize your skin well in the days leading up to your spray tan appointment, especially if you have dry skin. However, avoid using heavy lotions or oils on the day of your tan, as they can create a barrier that inhibits the tanning solution from adhering properly. Avoid products: In the 24 hours before your spray tan, avoid using any moisturizers, oils, perfumes, or deodorants, as they can interfere with the tanning solution. Also, refrain from using any makeup or skincare products on the day of your appointment. Wear appropriate clothing: Choose loose, dark-colored clothing to wear to your spray tan appointment. Tight clothing can rub against the tan and cause streaks, while light-colored clothing can become stained by the tanning solution. Remove jewelry: Take off any jewelry, watches, or accessories before your spray tan to avoid leaving marks on your skin. Garments Durning the tan: it is entirely up to your comfort level on what you choose to wear or not wear while being sprayed. I will ensure you feel comfortable either way! Judgement free zone! Bring protection: Consider bringing items like flip-flops or loose-fitting sandals to wear after your spray tan to avoid rubbing off the solution on your feet. Hair management: If you have long hair, tie it up and away from your face and neck. You can use a hairnet or shower cap to protect your hair from the tanning solution. I will have a hair net, pasties & disposable garments. Prepare your face: If you wish to protect your face from the tanning solution or if you have sensitive skin, you can apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to your eyebrows, lips, and the area around your eyes. Schedule accordingly: Make sure you don't have any strenuous activities, workouts, or events that may cause sweating or exposure to water immediately after your spray tan. It's best to avoid these for at least 6-8 hours after your appointment, or as advised by your tanning technician. Follow post-tan instructions: After your spray tan, your technician will provide you with specific post-tan care instructions. Typically, this involves waiting several hours before showering or sweating, wearing loose clothing, and moisturizing regularly to extend the life of your tan.
