FAQs

Your glow starts at home - prep matters.

• hydrate: drink plenty of water and moisturize daily with an oil-free lotion.

• the day before your appoinTMENT: shower, shave, and exfoliate using an exfoliating mitt or glove. skip scrubs - they can leave residue that blocks your tan.

• day of your tan: arrive with clean, bare skin - no make up, deodorant, perfume, lotions, or oils.

• what to wear: dark, loose clothing is best. long pants and sleeves help prevent transfer from skin-to-skin contact.

prep well = smoother, longer lasting glow.

a well taken care of tan usually starts to fade around day 6 or 7, by day 10 or 12 is when you’ll want to start prepping for your next tan. i say every two weeks is a good starting point and we can go from there depending on how your spray tan fades.

sun, salt and swimsuits - i’ve got you.

• all of my tans are sweat resistant, which helps the tan absorb a bit deeper

• after swimming in any body of water, rinse off when you can.

• gently pat dry (don’t rub) and apply a spray tan safe moisturizer.

ocean days don’t have to mean disappearing glow.

short answer: no

spray tan solution is not one-size-fits-all, just like foundation.

this is where a custom, hand-sprayed tan makes all the difference.

• different solutions have different bases that react to skin undertones.

• my job is to choose the solution that complements your skin for a natural looking tan.

• skin can only absorb so much dha - more isn’t always better.

• this is why rinse times matter and should never be exceeded.

the result: a glow that looks like you, just sun-kissed!
