Exfoliate and moisturise 24 hours before your tan, paying extra attention to dry areas
Please do not apply any moisturisers, make-up, perfume, creams or deodorants before your tan
Please allow 24 hours if shaving or waxing before your tan to allow the pores to close
Wear loose clothing and open shoes to your appointment so nothing clings to your tan and affects the outcome
Avoid Dove products in the 24 hours before your tan
Straight after your tan it is best to wear loose dark clothing. Please no activewear, no jeans and no bras! Tight clothing can ruin your tan after application. Its best to avoid materials that will make you sweat like satin.
There may be some transfer of bronzer onto your clothes however this will wash straight out.
1 to 2 days before your event is the optimal time for your spray tan. If you've left it later though you can still tan the day of your event as you only have to wear the tan for 2 hours prior to showering to ensure you can glow for your event!
To get the best out of your tan hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! To keep your tan fresh:
Moisturise from the second day onwards with a nourishing moisturiser
Avoid scrubbing your skin too hard in the shower during the week after, gently wash with a soft loofah
Avoid baths, saunas and chlorine
After showers pat gently with your towel, avoid rubbing
If you are getting your tan for a holiday and will be swimming it is recommended to pack a gradual tanner and start applying on day 4 of your tan to ensure you can top up your tan post pool
Spray tans do not provide protection from UV rays. Please ensure you always wear SPF 50+ sunscreen during sun exposure
If you are comfortable, we are comfortable.
We provide disposable underwear and hair nets for you to wear during your appointment. You may prefer to go nude, or wear your own underwear, please do what makes YOU comfortable!
For your first shower following your session, avoid using any products. No body wash or soap and avoid washing your hair
2 Hour Tans: Shower quickly (1 Minute only) in lukewarm water - not hot water for the first shower
8 Hour Tans: ​Make sure you moisturise your hands and your feet before bed, hands and feet should never be too dark!
No exercising or activities that will cause sweating until the day after your tan, sweat is not your tan's friend!
Try not to touch your tan during the development time, any tan marks on your hands will develop and be too dark
Be gentle when washing in the shower, no scrubbing
Pat dry following showers, avoid rubbing with your towel
We come to you and bring everything required to your appointment. We bring a pop-up tanning booth which you will be sprayed in. Your tanning technician requires enough space to put the tent up and access to a power point. As for space, the tent is only 1.5sqm so we will definitely find a space to do the tan!
We usually recommend the kitchen or bathroom to set up and the tan is contained within the tent to ensure your home remains tan free.
YES!!!
Your spray tan will not protect you from UV. Please ensure you keep your skin safe by wearing SPF 50 sunscreen whenever you are exposed to sun. This protects you from skin cancer and early aging due to sun damage.
The process of applying your tan and dry time will take around 20 minutes.
We take cash or bank transfer. Cash is preferred.
