Frequently asked questions
A flawless glow starts before your appointment and continues after you leave the studio.
- Wax or remove hair at least 48 hours before your tan.
- Shave 12 to 24 hours prior, so pores aren't open and absorbing extra colour.
- Exfoliate the night before, especially dry areas like knees, ankles and elbows.
- Arrive with clean skin, free of moisturiser, deodorant, perfume or makeup.
- Stay hydrated in the days before, hydrated skin means a smoother, longer-lasting glow.
- Avoid strong active skincare (retinols, acids, exfoliant masks) for 24 hours prior.
Loose, dark cotton or jersey fabrics are best. Avoid satins, silks or synthetics that can rub the tan off. If it's wet outside, bring a hoodie, long pants and a towel to protect your glow on the way home.
Every appointment starts with a pre-tan hydration primer, then your shade is custom-blended to suit your undertones and the look you want, so the result feels like your skin, just more radiant. An optional hydrating finishing mist is available for a dewy, camera-ready glow. The focus is comfort, ease and results that feel effortless.
- Wait the recommended time for your formula before your first shower.
- After your second shower, apply a lightweight, hydrating moisturiser.
- Drink plenty of water, hydrated skin supports a longer, smoother fade.
- Avoid chlorinated pools, spas, saunas or heavy sweating for the first few hours on a rapid-dry formula.
- Skip exfoliation or strong body treatments while the tan is developing or fading.
For weddings, book your spray tan 2 days before the day, so it fully develops and settles for the most natural, camera-ready finish. For holidays, book the day before you leave so you start the trip glowing from day one. For everything else, timing depends on your skin and the occasion, so get in touch and we'll plan the perfect glow for your date.
