It’s recommended that we perform a patch test on skin prone to eczema due to its heightened susceptibility to irritation and allergic reactions. Solution can trigger or exacerbate common symptoms, such as inflammation or itching. Eczema can also make the skin dry, potentially causing patchy or over-saturated spray tan results.
We will happily perform a patch test prior to spray tanning the entire body to ensure you have no negative reactions.

Although spray tan solution is not absorbed into the blood stream, it is highly advised to run your spray tan appointment past your doctor, just to be on the safe side. Women experience a lot of changes during pregnancy that could affect their spray tan results.

During the Tan

Women have the option to tan completely nude. If you prefer to wear underwear, we recommend a small, non-textured G-string without lace or thick sidebands. Some women opt for swimsuit bottoms, though we advise against tie-side styles. You’re also welcome to wear a bra or swim top, but keep in mind that any undergarments will create distinct tan lines. Complimentary disposable panties are provided with each spray tan.
Men may tan wearing boxers or briefs that fully covers the private area.
-
We recommend removing all jewelry (especially if it’s loose).
-
You should wear dark, lose, and flowy clothing to your tanning appointment. We also recommend wearing sandals (no close toed shoes or socks).

No, these should be fully removed prior to your spray tan appointment.
Makeup, lotion and deodorant will create barriers which will affect your spray tan results.
After the Tan
-
Most tans last 7-10 days. We highly suggest following the recommended prep and maintenance steps to help your tan last as long as possible.
-
Your first rinse can be anywhere from 2 to 10 hours depending on the solution used during your service and your desired depth of color. Your spray tan artist will provide you with after care instructions that will specify your exact shower time. It is important to follow their instructions to ensure you achieve your expected results.
-
NO, but you can begin using body wash again during your second shower! Your tan is still developing the first 24 hours. Only lukewarm water should be used during your first rinse.
That means no body wash, soap, shaving, loofahs, etc.…. ONLY RINSING!
Use a towel to GENTLY pat dry your body after your first rinse.
-
We recommend avoiding the beach and pool a full 24 hours after your spray tan appointment.
Always remember to pat dry after getting wet.

You can resume working out 24 hours after your spray tan appointment.
Try not to excessively sweat while you’re spray tanned and try to avoid hot workout classes as that can decrease the longevity of the spray tan.

Soak in baby oil for an hour then jump in shower to exfoliate everything off skin. You can also shower with hot water and exfoliate the color off. Japanese scrubs/ exfoliating mitts help to remove the tan as well.
