Before your tan
Start exfoliating and moisturizing your skin 3-5 days before your appointment.
Shave or wax your skin at least 24 hours in advance.
Take a shower right before your appointment so your skin is clean.
Don’t apply lotion, body oil, deodorant, or makeup on the day of your spray tan.
Wear dark-colored, loose-fitting clothing for after your tan
Exfoliating
When you exfoliate, gently buff your skin in small circles. Pay extra attention to drier areas, like your elbows, knees, and ankles. (avoid using oil based exfoliants.) ie Tree Hut.
After each exfoliation session, apply a gentle body lotion to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized.
Do your exfoliating routine each day leading up to your spray tan, but stop about 8 hours before your appointment
Stop using retinoids and hydroxy acids 24 hours before your spray tan.
