How do I prepare for a spray tan?

v Plan ahead. Which day do you want to look most gorgeous? Book your spray tan for the day or two before this.

v Always perform any hair removal procedures at least 8 hours prior to your spray tanning appointment. Waxing and shaving both result in the removal of skin cells, so waxing or shaving after your spray tan will inevitably remove some of the tanned skin - wax or shave before.

v Exfoliate your skin the night before your tan - use an exfoliant that is not oil based.  Exfoliating your skin before your tan will ensure an even coverage, and increase the duration of your tan. Concentrate on the areas of your knees, ankles, feet and elbows where dry skin is more prolific.

v Do not wear any makeup, moisturiser or antiperspirants the day of your tan.  This will interfere with the absorption of the tanning solution into the skin and inevitably result in patches.

v Remove all jewellery and don't put it back on for a few hours after your tan

How long should a spray tan last?

Depending on a person's activities, skin type & condition of the skin, these tans will last approximately 7 - 10 days.

v Using a quality moisturiser on the skin daily will help extend tanning results while keeping the tan looking healthy and glowing. You can't stop the natural cycle of shedding skin cells, but you can keep your skin hydrated so that patchiness is reduced as your tan fades naturally.

What should I wear during a spray tan and after the treatment?

v During the tan, most people elect to go totally naked so as to get a total all over tan however your beauty specialist can provide you with a disposable g-string or if you prefer you can wear your underwear but be aware your underwear will get overspray on them from the tanning solution trace colour.

v Immediately after the treatment until you shower try to wear loose fitting clothing, no bra if possible and avoid shoes of any kind except perhaps thongs or flip flops
