Tanning - Do's & Don'ts

Before arriving to your appointment, please ensure you:

  • Arrive with fresh skin, no deodorant, makeup or body moisturiser

  • Ideally have a shower as close as you can before arriving to your appointment

  • Wear loose comfortable clothing for after your tan

  • Exfoliate, make it your best friend - do this every other day leading up to the day of your tan.  This will ensure incredible results.

  • All beauty treatments should be done 24hrs prior to your tan

  • All hair removal needs to be done 24hrs prior to your appointment, with waxing I advise 48hours.


After your tan, care for your skin as best as possible and please remember:

  • Water is not your friend - until your first rinse that is.
    Avoid rain, sweating, washing up, splashes, crying, dribbling (this happens) and using the toilet in a rush.

  • Avoid wearing your bra after your tan, just enjoy the development process.

  • Don’t touch your skin (as soft as you’ll feel) it can affect your tan and will transfer on your hands.

  • Listen to your tan technician in regard to your first shower timeline (between 1 and 6hours)

  • First shower is just a rinse, 60 seconds in a warm shower - hop in rinse and run hands over your body to ensure bronzers are off – you’ll see them slip down the drain and think wow that’s a waste of my money…. Fear not

  • Upon first shower, ensure you use the toilet first. If you urinate in the shower the ammonia will instantly strip your tan…. And it’s not a good look!

  • Pat dry after every shower, avoid rubbing your body with your towel.

  • Do not wash your hair on your first rinse, please leave this till your second shower.

  • Second shower (ideally 12hrs after first rinse) you can use your body wash, deodorant, makeup all as normal.

  • Your spray tan isn’t sunblock, please ensure good sun protection is used.

  • Moisturising and keeping your skin hydrated will be the only way to keep your tan long lasting and looking incredible.

  • Shaving is perfectly fine to do after your second shower.
