For the best results, we recommend scheduling your tan 2 days before your big event.
If you’re tanning for a vacation, try to book your appointment the day before you leave so your glow is fresh and lasts throughout your trip!

After your spray tan, it’s important to let your skin breathe. Tight clothing can interfere with the development of your tan, so avoid anything snug like bras, leggings, jeans, tight socks, or tennis shoes. Instead, opt for loose, dark clothing and choose slides, sandals, or slippers to keep your glow flawless.
If it’s raining, don’t forget to bring an umbrella!
Make sure all of your skin is fully covered to protect your fresh tan from water spots or streaking on your way out. -
Be sure to come in with your old tan fully exfoliated off!
Layering a new tan over leftover color can lead to uneven results and patchy fading. For the smoothest, most flawless glow, it’s best to start with a clean, fresh canvas. -

This is the razor I love and personally use for when I have a spray tan. Razors with a moisture strip can strip your tan and ruin your longevity.

On average, clients using our Rapid Rinse solution can expect their glow to last 5–8 days, while those using the 8-Hour Solution typically see results last 7–12 days.
Keep in mind—every body is different! I have clients whos tans have lasted 14+ days! The longevity of your tan depends on how well you prep your skin beforehand and how you care for it after. For the best results, make sure to check out our Prep and Aftercare Instructions. Your glow will thank you!
Other factors that may affect your tan:
Pregnancy
Hormonal shifts (like your menstrual cycle)
Recent changes in medications
These can all impact how your tan develops and how long it lasts.

Keeping your skin moisturized & hydrated helps lock in your tan and keeps it looking fresh and radiant. For best results, hydrate daily with a spray tan–friendly lotion.
We highly recommend our Prosecco Tan Extender, Glowtini Mist, Hydracolada Moisturizer, and Rosewood Paloma Dry Oil —available at your appointment! It’s specially formulated to be safe for your spray tan and helps extend the life of your glow even longer.
