How should I prepare for my spray tan?
Wax / Shave any unwanted body hair
Waxing should be completed at least 48 hours prior to your clients appointment and shaving should be completed with a razor that lacks a moisture strip.
Exfoliate Entire Boday with a Kessa Mit
We advise against using a body scrub / loofah compbo as most are oil-based and will leave a residue that can effect your tan.
Complete Manicure/Pedicure
If completed day-of tan, please forego any oils/lotions that your nail technician might apply on you. If completed
Avoid Using Any Bar Soaps or Cream Based Body Washes
(Dove Specifically) Cream based body washes are known to leave a residue on the skin and will create a barrier that the tan can’t penetrate through. Any gel based body wash is encouraged. These will not interfere with the look of your tan.
Complete Any Spa Facial / Massage Treatments
Spray tans should be the LAST beauty treatment scheduled before a big event.
