Whether you’re new to the world of sunless tanning or just need a quick refresher, proper prep is the key to getting that flawless, even glow. At Sun Tanner in Parrish, FL, we specialize in customized spray tans that leave you feeling radiant and confident—no orange, no streaks.
Here’s how to get ready for your first spray tan:
Exfoliate 24 Hours Before
Use a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt to remove dead skin cells the day before your appointment. Pay extra attention to rough areas like knees, elbows, ankles, and feet. This helps create a smooth canvas for the spray tan to develop evenly.
Pro Tip: Avoid oil-based exfoliants—they can create a barrier that blocks the tanning solution.
Shave or Wax in Advance
Hair removal should be done at least 24 hours before your tan. This gives your skin time to calm down and prevents irritation or uneven color absorption.
Skip Lotion, Deodorant, Perfume
On the day of your spray tan, come with clean, dry skin. Avoid applying any products that could interfere with the solution—this includes moisturizers, makeup, deodorant, and perfumes.
Yes, even “invisible” deodorants can cause discoloration!
Wear Loose, Dark Clothing
After your appointment, you’ll want to wear dark, loose-fitting clothes (no tight waistbands or bras). This prevents rubbing or smudging while your tan sets.
Plan for Aftercare
You’ll need to stay dry for at least 6–8 hours post-tan. That means no sweating, showering, or swimming during the development period. After that, rinse with lukewarm water—no soap—and moisturize daily to extend your tan.
Book With a Professional You Trust
