Tanning
GET THAT GLOW
For glowing skin all year around that looks like a gorgeous natural tan, treat yourself to a full body spray tan.
Spray tanning is safe, fast and lasts for up to 10 days.
Before Your Appointment
Shower and exfoliate your skin – for the most even results, use a body scrub to remove dry skin so the tan pigment can adhere smoothly.
Wear nail polish – even if it’s just a clear coat, to protect your nails from the spray tan.
Think about your bathing suit – many people prefer to wear nothing for their spray tan, but if you do wear a bathing suit, make sure it’s one you don’t mind ruining as it will be stained by the spray tan pigment.
Common Tanning Questions
Do I have to get naked?
As the spray tan needs to be applied by a therapist, you will need to get undressed to some degree. We provide the option of a disposable g-string, although you are welcome to wear your own underwear if that makes you feel more comfortable. Or nothing at all if you don’t want any bikini lines.
Can I have a bikini or Brazilian wax on the day of my spray tan?
We don’t recommend this for two reasons – firstly the wax residue means that it is difficult to apply the spray tanning solution evenly to the waxed areas. Secondly, because your pores will have opened slightly during the wax, we don’t think it’s a good idea to spray any solutions directly on the skin at that point. We recommend you have you waxing done the day before if possible.
I’m having the spray tan done for a wedding or other special occasion and am worried as I’ve never had one before. How can I be sure I will like it?
We recommend coming in for a practice tan 2 or 3 weeks before the big day. That way you have an opportunity to see what it’s like, feel comfortable with the therapist and re book with the same person prior to the actual event. Also, make sure the therapist knows when the wedding is as we will be able to advise on the best timings to do your spray tan (especially if you’re fitting it around manicure and pedicure appointments as well as the many other commitments you may have on the days leading up to your event).
After Your Appointment
Your tan will get darker – it takes a bit of time to process, so don’t be alarmed if it’s lighter than you wanted.
You’ll be a bronzed babe in no time.
Spray tans can last up to 10 days – although this varies from person to person.
The color won’t just wash off, it slowly fades as the top layer of your skin regenerates.
Apply moisturizer every day – this will make the color last longer and means it won’t dry out.
