  • Smooth out any harsh lines in your spray tan using a soft body or makeup brush. Gentle strokes will help achieve a more even and natural-looking result.

  • Steer clear of oil-based sunscreens, as they accelerate natural exfoliation, hastening tan fade. The same caution applies to aerosol sprays with alcohol content, known for drying the skin and risking uneven tan patching.

    Sunscreens I Recommend:
    1) Sunbum
    2) Coola

  • Face Wash - Opt for a gentle, sulfate-free face wash to protect your facial spray tan.

    Shampoo/Conditioner - Extend this care to your hair by choosing sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to safeguard against color stripping.

    Other - When incorporating hair oils, go for lightweight, non-greasy formulas to prevent interference with your tan.

    AVOID - Steer clear of retinol and retinoids before and after your spray tan session. These ingredients can impact the evenness and longevity of your tan. Opt for a break from these skincare powerhouses to ensure your radiant glow takes center stage without any interference.

    If you're committed to your beauty routine, fret not. We offer the flexibility to skip tanning your face.

  • It's normal for your spray tan to lighten after showering, as the initial bronzer washes away. However, the underlying tan should continue developing, reaching its full depth after 24 hours. Be patient, and avoid excessive scrubbing to maintain a lasting, even glow.

  • Choose to exfoliate when you're ready to part ways with your spray tan. This helps speed up the fading process and ensures a smooth transition when it's time for a fresh tan or your natural skin tone.
