exfoliate and shave (if needed) about 24 hours before your appointment. arrive with clean, dry skin free of lotions, oils, makeup, perfume, and deodorant so your spray tan can develop as evenly as possible.

with proper care, your spray tan will typically last 5–10 days. keeping your skin moisturized, avoiding long hot showers, and limiting swimming or excessive sweating can help extend the life of your tan. for even longer-lasting results, we also offer a post-spray hydration gloss, which helps lock in moisture and support the longevity of your tan.

your rinse time depends on your desired depth of color, and we'll let you know exactly when to rinse before you leave. for the best results, avoid showering, swimming, sweating, or getting wet until your recommended rinse time has passed.

not at tinted tanning! every spray tan is completely customized to your skin tone and desired glow. we use high-quality solutions to create a natural-looking tan that enhances your complexion - never orange.

you can wear as much or as little as you're comfortable with during your appointment. afterward, we recommend wearing loose, dark clothing and avoiding anything tight that may rub against your skin while your tan develops.

it's best to avoid working out, swimming, or anything that causes excessive sweating until after your first rinse. Once your tan has fully developed, in 24 hours, you can get back to your normal routine, though frequent swimming and excessive sweating may cause it to fade more quickly. our post-spray hydration gloss helps keep your skin hydrated, which can improve your tan's longevity - even if you're active and tend to sweat.

for vacations, we recommend scheduling your spray tan as close to your departure date and time as possible so you can enjoy your glow for the entire trip. for weddings, photos, or other special events, 2 days before is ideal to allow your tan to fully develop and look its best. if you're unsure, we're happy to help you find the perfect timing!

yes! spray tanning is a sunless alternative to UV tanning because it doesn't expose your skin to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are known to increase the risk of premature aging and skin cancer. the active ingredient in spray tanning solutions, DHA (dihydroxyacetone), works by reacting with the outermost layer of dead skin cells to create a temporary bronzed appearance - it does not tan the skin through UV exposure. We use high-quality, professional solutions to provide a beautiful, natural-looking glow customized just for you.

to keep your tan looking its best, use a gentle, sulfate-free body wash and moisturize daily with a mineral oil free lotion. avoid exfoliants, retinol or acne treatments on tanned areas, products containing alcohol, and long, hot showers or baths, as these can cause your tan to fade more quickly. we also recommend our post-spray hydration gloss to help keep your skin hydrated and extend the life of your tan.

absolutely! a spray tan does not protect your skin from the sun, so wearing sunscreen every day is still essential. we recommend using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher that is mineral-based, mineral oil-free, and sulfate-free whenever possible. mineral sunscreens use naturally derived ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to provide sun protection and are often gentler on the skin, while also helping preserve the life of your tan.
