How to prepare for a spray tan
In this photo I was in Airlie beach on a holiday, I usually
use the solarium before I go somewhere sunny but I didn’t have time for this
holiday, so I got a spray tan. The brand is called Tuscan Tan. I got a full
body 8hr activation spray tan. I love it because it natural looking without
being too over the top.
What to do before the spray tan:
1.
Moisturize everyday up until your spray tan
2.
If you get any waxing done, wax the day before
the spray tan
3.
1-2 days prior to your spray tan, exfoliate your
entire body. Using a glove really does the trick in removing all that dead skin.
You can pick this up from your local super market
4.
On the day of your spray tan have a shower, and
free yourself from any product. Example: moisturizer, deodorant, perfume, oils
and makeup :)
5.
Wear loose clothing to your appointment and brig
a pair of thongs.
In a spray tan (manual spray tan)
you will have the decision to wear nothing or disposable underwear. I recommend
in wearing nothing!! That way there is
no lines, so no one will know that it’s fake tan.
After you have had the spray tan
done, make sure you feel dry before putting on your clothes, please keep in
mind that you will feel sticky but this does not mean you are not dry :)
Take your time putting your
clothes on, leave your bra off and try to leave any type of shoe off for as
long as you can.
Every spray tan has an activation
time. The one I had done has a 8hr activation time, which means you can’t get
wet for 8hrs, so make sure when you’re drinking or brushing your teeth that you
don’t get it down your face :)
Usually spray tan is clear; the
reason why you walk out instantly brown is because it’s a guide line colour (bronzer)
for the therapist to see where she has sprayed on your body. So over the next
8hrs of wearing your spray tan, you are going to get very dark, because your
tan underneath will be activating and you will also have the therapist guide
line colour on (bronzer)
In the morning or 8hrs later you
can have a shower and rinse off your spray tan. I always say just soap the
areas needed. Try not to use and shower gel or soap over the spray tan because
if these products have allot of perfume or citrus in them, they will dry out
your skin which will minimize the wear of your tan.
Once you’re out of the shower,
pat towel dry and moisturize, moisturize, MOISTERIZE! Try to stay away from
chlorine or salt water as much as you can, if you want your spray tan to last
5-7 days. If your are on a holiday then swim it up and use a tan extender.
