Spray Tanning
Why not add some glow?
Tan prep is key. Without a proper preparation the tan will dry patchy or wear unevenly. The best way to prepare for your spray tan is to shower, exfoliate, shave and moisturise the day before. This way your skin is not inflamed and the moisturiser has had plenty of time to absorb. Right before your tan please ensure your skin is clean of any makeup, deodorant or creams as it will act like a barrier between your skin and the tanning liquid and won't absorb evenly. We find its best to shower 15-30 minutes prior to your tanning appointment if possible and ensure your hair is dry and pulled back. Spray Tans take 8-24 hours to fully develop on the skin.
The average spay tan lasts 7-10 days when cared for correctly. Like any beauty appointment, there are things you can do to make your tan last longer. Ensuring you moisturise your skin daily and don't rub the skin too harshly with towels after showering can make a huge difference to the life of your tan. Areas that tend to fade first are those that receive the most friction like under arms, near straps of tight or rough clothing and around your ankles from shoes.
Put simply the tan continues to darken and develop until you wash it off. Some tans can however change colour if left on for too long as its reacts to the acid or alkaline in your skin.
As long as you have waited the two hour period after your tan is applied then yes. We find that Chlorinated pools are particularly harsh on tans so its best to shower shortly after and apply moisturiser.
You can park right at our front door! Along Central Ave, Oak Flats there is parking and also at the rear in Ayers Lane. It's easy in and out even in the rain. If its looking like its going to rain before your appointment pack and umbrella and wear clothing that covers you but is loose like track pants and ugg boots. The areas that are most effected if in the rain are your feet and ankles from splashing.
