Frequently Asked Questions
Before pre-tan:
Exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells.
Shave or wax at least 48 hours before your appointment.
Avoid moisturisers, deodorants, and perfumes on the day of your spray tan.
Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment.
It’s best to avoid moisturising immediately before your session as it can create a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution, affecting the result.
Moisturise well in the days leading up to your appointment instead.
It’s best to arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to ensure an even application of the tanning solution.
It’s recommended to remove all jewellery to ensure an even tan application and prevent any staining.
The duration of a spray tan session varies but typically takes around 10-20 minutes, including prep time.
“You do you, boo” – you can wear underwear, a g-string, disposable g-string (which I have available), bathers or be naked! Whatever makes you feel comfortable and safe.
You should always speak with a doctor or a dermatologist before being tanned. I am always happy to do a little test on a small area of your skin first, to see that there is no reaction.

After Your Spray Tan:
You can wash your tan off anywhere from 4 to 8 hours after. We do suggest that the longer you wait, the darker your tan will develop. You do not have to sleep in your tan if you don’t want to – but suggest that you do your best to allocate the right time between your tan and your night time routine.
When you do shower, use lukewarm water and gentle, sulphate-free body wash. Avoid hot water, as it can strip away the tan. After showering, pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing to prevent premature fading.
Keep your skin hydrated by applying a moisturiser twice daily, especially after showering. Choose a hydrating lotion or cream without oils or mineral oil, as these can break down the tan. Focus on areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, and ankles.
Refrain from exfoliating your skin for the duration of your tan, as this can accelerate the fading process. Instead, use a gentle body wash and pat your skin dry to maintain the tan.
You tan should last anywhere from 7 to 10 days depending on your pre tan preparation, your skin type an your after tan care.
It’s best to avoid sweating or engaging in activities that may cause excessive sweating until after your first shower post-tan to ensure the tan sets evenly.
Moisturise daily, avoid long baths or swimming in chlorinated pools, and pat your skin dry after showering instead of rubbing.
While some transfer of the tanning solution may occur immediately after application, it should not stain clothing once the tan has fully developed and you’ve showered. Wearing loose, dark clothing immediately after your session can help minimise any transfer.
Yes! You will absolutely have to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.
