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.
