Prep Like a Pro for a Flawless Tan
1. Exfoliate Your Way to a Smooth Glow
Want to know the key to an even, streak-free tan? It all starts with exfoliation.
Creating a smooth base for your tan means it will apply evenly and last longer. Dead skin cells? We don’t know them!
- Timing is Everything: Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment to give your skin time to settle.
- Exfoliate Smart: Opt for a gentle, oil-free scrub or dry brush. Avoid oil-based scrubs, as they can leave a residue that prevents the tan from absorbing evenly.
- Focus on Dry Areas: Pay special attention to your elbows, knees, and ankles. These areas have rougher skin and can absorb more tan than others.
2. Hair Removal: Timing Is Key
For the smoothest tan possible, hair removal is important—but the timing matters.
- Shaving: If shaving, do it at least 24 hours before your spray tan. This allows your pores to close, preventing dark spots where the tan can settle.
- Wax at least 48 hours before your appointment. This helps prevent skin irritation and allows your tan to develop evenly.
3. Moisturize in Advance, but Not on the Day
Hydrated skin = a longer-lasting tan, but moisturizing on the day of your tan? That’s a no-no.
- The Days Before: Keep your skin moisturized in the days leading up to your appointment, especially after exfoliating. But when the big day arrives, skip the lotion!
- Why Skip It?: Lotions, oils, and creams can act as a barrier, preventing the spray tan solution from adhering to your skin evenly. The result? Uneven color that we definitely want to avoid.
4. Dress the Part
Choosing the right outfit for your appointment is more important than you might think.
- Before the Tan: Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment. Tight clothing can rub against your fresh tan, leading to streaks or smudging.
- After the Tan: Same rule applies post-tan. Opt for soft, breathable fabrics (cotton is perfect) and avoid anything that clings. Also, skip the jewelry—it can interfere with the tan application process.
5. Skip the Extras (Makeup, Deodorant, Perfume)
Your skin needs to be a blank canvas for the tan to apply properly, which means skipping makeup, deodorant, and perfume on the day of your appointment.
- Why Avoid These?: These products can create barriers on the skin, leading to patchy or uneven results. Plus, deodorant can cause discoloration in your underarm area when it interacts with the tanning solution.
- What to Do Instead: Shower and clean your skin well before your appointment. This will make sure it is free of products and ready for a perfect tan.
