Good spray tan prep involves less work than you may think! As with any tanning routine, a good base starts with regular exfoliation and keeping the skin moisturized.

Firstly, what happens in the salon, stays in the salon – so don’t be concerned! You will be offered disposable underwear or you can wear your own, just make sure they’re not your favorite and go for black. Your therapist will give you some sticky feet (tanned soles of the feet isn’t a great look), a hair towel and will apply moisturizer to dry areas. Your tan should only take around 15 minutes.

Spray tan prep

  • If you have time, start exfoliating every 2-3 days & moisturizing daily before to ensure skin is super hydrated
  • Exfoliate with St.Tropez Tan Enhancing Body Polish or Tan Remover Mitt the day before for a fresh base
  • Make sure that any hair removal is done 24 hours before your spray tan
  • On the day of your appointment, ensure your skin is free from moisture, deodorants and makeup
