YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.
Is there anything I should do to prepare for my tan?
A: Yes! It's extremely important that you are prepared for your tan with bare, exfoliated skin. Be sure to read our prep instructions here.
When should I get my spray tan?
A: If you're tanning for a special event, it is recommended to get your spray tan two days prior. If you're tanning for vacation 1-2 days prior is ideal. Keep in mind your first rinse will be 4-8 hours after your appointment, but your first "regular shower" will be at least 24 hours post spray.
Should I book a classic or rapid spray tan?
A: The difference between a classic and rapid spray tan is the rinse time, not the development time. Our rapid spray tan allows you to rinse in four hours or less, our classic mix is an eight-hour rinse time. If you plan to sleep in your tan or won't be able to rinse at the four-hour mark, the classic tan is for you. If you don't have time to marinade in your tan, go for the rapid.
What should I wear during my tan?
A: There is no right or wrong thing to wear! Bra and underwear, topless, nude; just be sure to dress to your comfort level and of course keep tan lines in mind. If you do opt to wear clothing be sure it's dark so it won't show solution.
What should I wear after my spray tan?
A: It's crucial that you wear loose clothing after your spray tan. Longer, dark clothes are best. If you tan topless, skip the bra and if possible, skip socks and wear a loose slip-on shoe. Do not wear leggings, biker shorts, or tight jeans. Find more aftercare instructions here.
Can I spray tan while pregnant?
A: Yes! We always recommend that you run it by your doctor for their approval.
Can I still sunburn with a spray tan?
A: Yes! ALWAYS WEAR SPF. Choose a lotion sunscreen rather than a spray.
Can I spray tan with a sunburn?
A: We do not recommend getting a spray tan after a sunburn. It may be tempting to even out those tan lines, but if it peels the result will not be flattering.
Should I get a spray tan before vacation?
A: Yes! No better feeling than showing up to your destination with a glow. Again, don't forget the SPF!!
How long will my spray tan last?
A: The biggest factor in the longevity of your spray tan is your prep and aftercare. With proper care and using the right products your spray tan should last 7-10 days, sometimes longer.
What products should I use with my spray tan?
A: When choosing which products to use for your tan, just go as gentle as possible. We carry all of the products you need to care for your tan, but you may have something at home or prefer to purchase elsewhere. Choose a body gel with no sulfates or parabens, a moisturizer with no mineral oil, and a sunscreen lotion free of oxybenzone. Kiwi Bodywash and moisturizer are available to purchase in studio and can be brought to your mobile appointment ($10) but are not available to order online.
(No dove, no bath and bodyworks!)
How can I make my spray tan last longer?
A: Again, follow the prep and aftercare instructions. Aside from that, take shorter, cooler showers and use a moisturizer in the morning and a tan extender in the evening.
Should I get a pedicure or spray tan first?
A: Mani/pedi and all other beauty services must come before your spray tan. Having these services done 24+ hours prior to your spray tan will help to ensure there is no barrier left behind from products used.
Can I get in a swimming pool or hot tub with a spray tan?
A: Keep in mind chlorine and hot water are very drying to our skin. Hydrated skin is a spray tan's bff. If you are going to be in a swimming pool or hot tub, know it will most likely cause your tan to fade quicker. Do a quick rinse once you hop out of chlorinated or salt water and moisturize to help combat this. A tan extender will make all of the difference in the scenario.
Will working out ruin my spray tan?
A: After your rinse time, you're free to sweat! If you're really going for that hard work out, try to wait 24 hours post-spray. Areas that sweat most (boobs, armpits, inner elbows) tend to fade a little quicker but can be touched up or buffed out with an exfoliating mitt.
How long after my spray tan can I shower?
A: Your first rinse will be discussed at your appointment. Your first shower should be at least 24 hours post-spray.
Can I wax or shave after my spray tan?
A: You can shave 24 hours post-tan, press lightly.
