Proper spray tan preparation and care

Before Tan Preparation

1
Wax or Shave

Wax at least 24 hours before your tan, and shave at least 48 hours before. If you wax too close to your tan it can leave brown spots.

2
Exfoliation

You should exfoliate 2–3 days before your tan with a scrub or loofah. Exfoliating allows your skin to recover from any irritation.

3
Moisturizing

Try and moisturize your skin daily in the week before your tan, especially dry areas on your body like your elbows, knees, ankles, feet, and hands.

4
Avoid oils and perfumes

Avoid any products with lots of oil or fragrances, especially those with alcohol contained.

5
Wear loose fitted clothing

Wear loose, dark clothing so it doesn’t rub off your tan.

6
Apply clear nail polish

Apply clear nail polish to your nails to prevent discoloration from the spray tan.
