The Prep Work
THE PREP WORK 🖤
GOOD TANS START BEFORE I SHOW UP.
A little prep makes a big difference! Follow these simple steps for a smooth, even glow that lasts.
24–48 HOURS BEFORE
EXFOLIATE. SHAVE. PREP.
Exfoliate with an exfoliating mitt and oil-free body wash. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
Shave at least 24 hours before your tan or wax at least 48 hours before.
Remove any leftover self-tanner or old spray tan.
Get manicures, pedicures, and other beauty treatments done beforehand.
THE DAY OF YOUR TAN
CLEAN SKIN. NOTHING EXTRA.
Arrive with clean, completely dry skin.
Skip lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, and makeup.
No shaving or exfoliating the day of your appointment.
Wear loose, dark clothing. Think oversized tees, baggy sweats, or a comfy dress.
WHAT TO AVOID
DON'T SABOTAGE YOUR GLOW.
Oil-based scrubs, body washes, and moisturizers.
Heavy body butters or products that leave a residue.
Moisturizing beauty bars and creamy body washes, including Dove products that leave a film.
Tight clothing immediately after your tan.
Why? Oils, residue, and leftover products can interfere with how evenly your spray tan develops.
THAT'S IT. YOU'RE READY. 🖤
Hair up, jewelry off, and clean skin ready to go!
Since I bring the glow to you, just have a little space cleared for my equipment and an outlet.
