Frequently asked questions
The most common questions we get from our clients
Preparing your skin for the spray tan is very important to ensure a flawless outcome and long-lasting tan! Please refer to our “Before, During & After Your Tan” tab for directions on how to prepare your skin for the session.
Absolutely not! We have a NO orange guarantee for all tans that we offer.Each formula is custom blended to match the undertones of your skin to provide a smooth, flawless color!
You will want to tan about 2 days before your event. For brides, we suggest tanning 2-3 days before the big day. Going on vacation? Tanning the day before leaving is best!
7~10 days with the proper After Care! Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
A mobile appointment will take about 50 minutes total, with set up and break down included in the time.
We suggest wearing loose long pants and long sleeves immediately after and to sleep in the night of your tan! You may experience a slight rub off from the cosmetic bronzers immediately after your tan, however, after your first Rinse, you should not experience any transfer to clothing. If you do experience slight color transfer, the tan will easily come out of your clothing in the washing machine.
The Day of Your Spray Tan
Take a shower as normal and be careful to rinse off ALL of the shampoo and soap; also don’t apply any deodorant, moisturizer, lotion, cream, or makeup before your spray tan. Any of these products will block the spray tan from setting to its fullest and deodorants can turn the bronzer in the spray tan green so unless you want Incredible Hulk armpits I would advise against it (The DHA tan will not be green, just the bronzer). If you have an appointment later in the day then be sure to rinse off your deodorant or moisturizers in the shower or with a washcloth before your appointment.
Exfoliation is Key
By exfoliating before a spray tan, you are turning your skin into a clean slate for your spray tan consultant. This is the single most important aspect of your before-appointment regimen. A spray tan sets on the topmost layer of your skin; so if the topmost layer of your skin is not at its cleanest, most natural state prior to a spray tan then you will not get the best results. If you do properly exfoliate with an exfoliant designed specifically for spray tanning then you can increase the life of your tan
by up to three days!
What to Wear to Your Appointment
We do suggest that you wear dark, loose clothing so that your clothes don’t rub against the spray tan while it is setting.
No Diving!
- Do not go swimming or work out during the 8 hours that your(Regular) tan is setting to ensure that the tan is given enough time to properly develop.
- Rapid tan requires 1~4 hours of Set time
For your first shower: rinse only!
You should always only wash off with water during your first shower. After that though, soaps and shampoos that have not been designed for spray tanning could still lessen the quality of your spray tan. Alcohols and oils in products could produce a crackling effect on your fade and certain soaps dry out your skin, causing your tan to vanish faster.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
A spray tan’s worst enemy is dry skin; a spray tan’s best friend is a fantastic moisturizer. By using moisturizers on a daily basis (and after every shower!), your skin will stay soft, supple, and most importantly tanned for days longer!
