Spray Tan

For a flawless, natural-looking tan, aim to have your spray tan two days before your big event. This timing allows the tan to fully develop and settle, ensuring you look radiant and glowing on the day.

No worries! Modern fake tanning has come a long way, so streaks and orange tones are a thing of the past.

To ensure a flawless, natural tan:

• Follow Pre-Tan Tips: Exfoliate and prep your skin properly.
• Stick to Aftercare: Adhere to all post-tan advice to keep your glow looking fresh and even.

By following these tips, you'll enjoy a beautiful, sun-kissed look without any unwanted streaks or orange hues! 🌞✨

I’ll help you find the perfect shade by asking a few questions to match the colour to your skin tone and desired look.

We’ll ensure you get a tan that suits your needs and looks amazing! 🌟

Your spray tan will typically last 5-7 days, depending on your daily skincare routine and lifestyle. Here’s how to get the most out of your tan:

• Moisturise Daily: Keeping your skin hydrated helps extend your tan and ensures it fades evenly.
• Different tanning formulas may have slightly different longevity for your skin type. Generally, with good care, your tan can last 5+ days flawlessly bit some tan may stay on for weeks afterwards.
• Keep in Mind: Frequent showers, pool time, and other factors might impact how long your tan lasts.

For your spray tan session, dark, loose clothing is the way to go! This helps prevent your new tan from rubbing off and staining your clothes.

During the application, you can wear as little as you like—many prefer to go au naturel to avoid tan lines. If you choose to wear clothing, dark-colored garments are best to prevent staining.

Most people opt for:

• Pants or a thong and go topless for an even tan.
• A bikini or swimsuit if that’s more comfortable for you.

I’ll provide a hair net to keep your hair out of the way. Just come as you feel most comfortable, and we’ll ensure you leave with a flawless tan! 🌟

For a tan that sticks around and looks fabulous, follow these tips:

• Prep Your Skin: Start getting your skin ready 24 hours before your tan. This means removing unwanted hair, exfoliating your body, and moisturizing all those dry spots.
• Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Keep your skin well-hydrated with a good moisturizer, both before and after your tan.
• Follow Aftercare: Stick to the aftercare advice for the best results. This includes avoiding excessive sweating, long hot showers, and using oil-free moisturizers.
• Avoid Harsh Products: Stay away from exfoliating scrubs and products with high alcohol content, as they can speed up fading.
• Pat Dry: After washing, gently pat your skin dry rather than rubbing to prevent streaks.

By prepping well and taking care of your tan, you’ll enjoy a glowing, long-lasting result!

Absolutely! A trial run is highly recommended, especially for big events like weddings. Here’s why:

• See the Look: It lets you see how the tan looks and allows you to adjust your makeup if needed.
• Timing: Aim for a trial two weeks + before your event to ensure the tan suits you perfectly.
• Patch Test: A patch test on your skin can also help you assess how the tan develops.

A little prep now means you’ll shine with confidence on the big day! 🌟

Several factors can affect the way your tan develops:

• Hormonal Changes: Things like ovulation, menstruation, and pregnancy can cause your tan to develop unevenly.
• Products and Chemicals: Certain skincare products or chemicals might impact how your tan looks and lasts.
• Sweat and Exercise: Heavy sweating from workouts can make your tan fade faster, especially around joints and between your breasts.
• Skin Type: Oily skin might result in a lighter tan because oils can create a barrier, while dry skin absorbs products more quickly, often leading to a darker tan.

For a smoother, more even tan, make sure to follow the right prep and aftercare steps!

Spray tanning is a sunless way to get a gorgeous tan without UV exposure! It uses a fine mist containing Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a natural ingredient derived from sugar cane, that reacts with the proteins in the outer layer of your skin to create a beautiful, even tan.

How It Works:

• DHA reacts with amino acids in your skin and oxygen in the air, resulting in a lovely golden-brown colour.
• The colour develops over time, usually within 8-10 hours. That's why we recommend waiting before showering.

The best part? The spray mist provides an even, streak-free finish that looks flawless! We have a range of shades to suit every skin tone, so you'll leave with a tan that looks naturally yours.

To keep your tan looking flawless and avoid any stains:

• Wear Loose, Dark Clothing: Opt for dark, loose-fitting clothes right after your tan. This helps prevent any transfer of color and keeps your skin comfy.
• Avoid Tight Clothing: Steer clear of tight straps, seams, and sleeves that might rub against your skin.

Accidents Happen: If any sunless tan solution does transfer onto your clothes, don’t worry! Most stains can be washed out in the machine, or gently hand washed for delicate fabrics.

Enjoy your tan without the worry of unwanted stains! 🌟

1. Stop Self-Tanning Early: Cease any self-tanning products at least five days before your spray session to avoid build-up and ensure a clean slate.
2. Exfoliate Thoroughly: Exfoliate your skin over a 48-hour period before your tan to remove any old bronzer and dead skin cells. This helps achieve a smooth, even finish.
3. Hair Removal: Book a waxing or shaving appointment at least a day before your tan. This allows hair follicles to settle for the best results.
4. Face Prep: Lightly exfoliate your face the day before your spray tan for an even application.

Day of Your Tan:

1. Skip Deodorant, Makeup, and Lotions: These can cause uneven application.
2. Moisturise Dry Areas: Apply a light body lotion to super-dry spots like elbows, knees, hands, and feet to prevent them from getting too dark.
3. Protect Your Hairline: If you have very light or bleached hair, apply a thin layer of moisturiser around your hairline to prevent staining.

With these prep steps, you’ll ensure a flawless, natural-looking tan! 🌟

Spray tanning is the easiest way to achieve a healthy, bronzed glow without the risks that come with sun exposure. It eliminates the risk involved with UVB rays and sunbeds, and is completely safe. Please remember that the tanning product does not contain an SPF, so will not protect you from the sun.

As part of the consultation, we will check for allergies to ensure no adverse reaction to the spray tan.

You will be asked to undress into what you want to wear during the tan. .

Once you are prepared, we will ask you to stand in the spray tanning tent and show you body poses which allow for the most even tan. They will work through each body part in turn. Be prepared for the spray to be a little cold. When tanning your face, they will ask you to hold your breath and close your eyes.

Once your whole body has colour on it, we will allow you some time to stand and dry, so as not to disrupt the tan too early by getting dressed. Making sure the tan is 100% dry after a spray will decrease the risk of patching and uneven colour. 

As little as possible! Try to wear dark coloured, floaty clothing and avoid anything tight which could leave rub marks on your fresh tan. Wear flip-flops to avoid rubbing the tan off your feet.

The active ingredient in spray tan is DHA, which is a non-toxic chemical that reacts with the outer layer of the skin to create a beautiful glow. It does not enter the bloodstream or penetrate further than this outer layer, therefore there’s no reason not to get a spray tan when pregnant. However, we recommend that clients in their first trimester do not get a spray tan.

It’s worth bearing in mind that when you are pregnant, your skin is often more sensitive and therefore more prone to irritation. As a precaution, we also recommended consulting your doctor before getting a spray tan when pregnant.

The short answer is yes! But you have to wait at least 24 hours for the lash adhesive to fully dry. We’d suggest waiting 48 hours, just to be on the safe side. You should mention your lash extensions to your tanning therapist too. Carefully wash your lash extensions after your spray tan, to ensure that no tanning solution is still lingering.

It’s also fine to get your lash extensions before your spray tan. But again, you need to allow at least 24 hours before your lash appointment.

Yes, you absolutely can tan through a spray tan. But that also means you can burn! Spray tans provide no UV barriers whatsoever, so your skin is just as vulnerable to the sun’s harmful rays. Just because you have a gorgeous glowing spray tan does not mean that you won’t burn. Be sure to apply a strong SPF to protect your skin.

We generally advise clients to shave before their spray tan if possible. This is because shaving exfoliates the skin, which is important preparation for a spray tan. It also means that it will fade your tan faster if done after. This doesn’t mean you can’t shave after a spray tan. To minimise the fading effect, try to use a new razor, as this will drag the skin less and leave more of your tan intact.

It’s best to hold off on makeup right after your spray tan. The moisture in makeup, especially foundations and lotions, can cause your tan to blotch or develop unevenly.

Once you’ve showered and your tan has fully developed, feel free to return to your usual makeup routine. 🌟

Hold off on exercising for at least eight hours after your spray tan. Sweating and friction can mess up that perfect finish. Once you’ve washed off your tan, you can get back to your fitness routine.

To keep your tan looking fab, wear seamless, breathable workout clothes and be sure to moisturise after your post-workout shower. 🏋️‍♀️✨
