Frequently Asked Questions
A: Make sure you try to exfoliate and shave the night before your tan. Do not apply any lotions, oils, or deodorant the day of. Do not use ‘Dove’ soap before or after the spray tan as it could affect how the spray tan develops.
If you cannot shower the evening before your appointment, a shower four hours before your session is acceptable.
Do not come to your appointment straight from the gym, as your sweat will create a barrier to the spray tan solution.
Waxing and spa services such as pedicure, massages, and facials should be done two days before your spray tan appointment. Any later and you risk having the oils leave a barrier upon your skin.
Bring loose fitting clothes and flip flops if possible.
You may tan in the undergarment of your choice, preferably a dark color.
Ladies may tan topless, though bathing suits and underwear also work well. We have the following garments available upon request: disposable thongs, nose filters, and shower caps. The first set is complimentary, but after that, you are responsible for the purchase of these items if needed.
Pull your hair high and tight on top of your head if possible.
Q: How should I take care of my tan after my spray?
A: Wear loose clothing after your tan so your clothes aren’t rubbing against your skin while your tan is developing. Do not scrub your skin while showering and do not rub your skin dry with a towel. Try to pat dry. Always moisturize at least twice a day, if possible.
For your first shower after your spray tan, only rinse with water. Make sure your face and ears are rinsed as well.
You may see color wash off during your first shower. This is just the cosmetic bronzer washing off, and it is perfectly normal.
When you come out of the rinse, you will think the color disappeared but it hasn’t. It takes up to 8 hours for your tan to develop.
Apply my recommended body wash or my tan extender generously after your shower. Twice daily is recommended for optimal results. To maintain your spray tan, I highly recommend using my aftercare products.
Remember not to use moisturizers or creams until after your shower.
Avoid activity that results in sweating, such as working out. You should also refrain from swimming and getting wet.
Q: Can I purchase aftercare products at my appointment?
A: I offer a line of Perfect Glow aftercare including MW Body Lotion, MW Body Wash, and MW Tan Extender at the time of your tan. I also carry Tanning Mousse, Rapid Tanning Mousse, and Body Scrubs…please inquire about pricing.
