How you prep your skin is 80% of your spray tan results!

Please follow the below guidelines to give you the most optimal tan

Morning of your spray

  • Shower at least 4 hours before your spray tan appointment (allows your skin's pH balance to level out after a shower)

  • If you need to shave, do so in the morning! Your pores need time to recover from the trauma of a razor :)

  • Exfoliate your skin with a non-oil based exfoliant (helps for an even fadeout and longevity of the tan). We sell exfoliating mitts and an all natural body scrub that are the perfect pair for prepping your skin! Check them out here:  https://simplytan.biz/shop

  • Do not apply lotion after your shower. Lotion acts as a barrier when applying the tan, which we do not want!

  • No perfume (can cause splotch marks)

  • No deodorant


Right before your tan

  • Remove make-up

  • Apply chapstick

  • Remove jewelry

  • Hair up


What to wear


  • Dark undergarments or bathing suit (bra is optional)

  • Comfy loose clothing for after (anything tight will risk rubbing the tan while it is setting)


While your tan sets- avoid water!

  • Traditional solution - do not get wet for 8-12 hours while the tan sets!

  • Express solution - do not get wet until your rinse off time (1-4 hours)!

  • Use hand sanitizer to wash your hands, contact with water will completely remove the tan and cause undesirable lines!

  • If humidity is high or you risk sweating in your sleep, highly recommend dry finishing powder!
