Spray Tan - Pre Treatment Guidance

The Do's

At least 48 hours prior to appointment:

  • Wax or shave if required – this allows hair follicles to close prior to spray tan

Day prior to appointment:

  • Exfoliate your skin using an exfoliating body scrub & loofah/exfoliating gloves. Avoid products containing paraffin
  • Apply a clear nail polish to nails (including toes) to prevent nail discolouration

On appointment day:

  • Shower with a cool or warm shower at least 2 hours prior to appointment
  • Ensure skin is free from body lotion, moisturiser, perfume, deodorant, makeup and jewellery
  • Wear or bring loose dark coloured clothes
  • Bring flip flops

If you exercise or attend the gym, consider doing this at least a day prior to your spray tan.

Consider other beauty services at least 24 hours prior to your spray tan, such as nails, waxing, facials and massage
