1 PREP

All the celebrities, influencers and beauty editors I tan will tell you I bang on about spray tan prep!

Exfoliate & remove any unwanted hair the day before to give a good clean base

If you have more time you can start exfoliating every 2-3 days & moisturising daily to ensure your skin is super-hydrated

On the day of your appointment, ensure your skin is free from moisturiser, deodorants & makeup

2 WHAT TO EXPECT

Firstly, what happens in the salon, stays in the salon so don’t be concerned!

You will be offered disposable underwear or you can bring your own, just make sure they’re not your favourites and go for black. Your therapist will give you some sticky feet (tanned soles of the feet isn’t an ‘in’ look), a hair towel and will apply moisturiser to your ankles, elbows, knees, feet, hands and any other drier areas of skin.

Your spray tan should only take around 15 minutes, simply spray and glow!

3 DEVELOPMENT TIME

Spray tans take 4-8 hours to develop so be careful not to get wet beforehand. If you opt for Express however, we can get you from desk to dancefloor in just 1 hour! Express allows you to control your depth of tan so you can rinse it off after 1hr for a sunkissed glow, 2 hrs for a medium tan or 3 hrs for a dark bronze.

Don’t panic when you rinse off and all that colour goes down the drain – we call that guide colour, your tan will not wash away!

4 FIND YOUR PERFECT TAN

We have a collection of tans that suit all occasions – but if you’re unsure, I’d recommend going for Express. You can choose your depth of tan, from a light sunkissed glow to a deep, dark tan just by choosing when to rinse it off!  Definitely my favourite!
