What to Wear During and After a Spray Tan

Here’s a rundown of the best self tanning tips for getting through your appointment with confidence and keeping fresh colour off your outfit.

Be Comfortable
From naked skin to conservative bathing suits, anything goes as long you’re happy with your choice.

Your tan will be performed by our trained tanning specialist. 

We provide disposable underwear.

Same rules apply to airbrush tans, which are done entirely by hand. Your airbrush artists are used to seeing naked skin, but wearing a bikini or disposable undergarments is perfectly fine if you feel more comfortable. Keep in mind there will be tan lines. 

The one thing you do need to think about when wearing any type of clothing into the booth or during your airbrush session is how it’s going to affect your skin’s finish. Fabric blocks colour, so you can expect tan lines around the edges of your outfit. The good news is that tan lines are a breeze to hide under everyday clothes, but it’s a whole different story if you’re taking your spray tan on a beach holiday. One of the best self tanning tips for achieving a bikini-ready body without getting naked is to match your tan lines to your go-to bathing suit by wearing it to your session. Just make sure not to go a shade lighter than black, dark brown or navy blue to protect your suit from staining.

If you’d like to avoid tan lines during an airbrush session but are nervous about getting naked in front of a stranger, ask to meet your technician ahead of time. Taking a moment to introduce yourself and chat with your airbrush artist can do wonders for alleviating your worries. Remember that tanning technicians are professionals. Their job is to make you feel relaxed and happy throughout your appointment, and they do it well.

Let Your Skin Breathe
One of the most important fake tan tips for avoiding stains is to wear dark, loose-fitting clothes after your appointment. Professional spray tans dry quickly, but it’s possible for a little bit of colour to rub off on fabric, especially if your solution is tinted with wash-off bronzers. For a guarantee that your tan won’t stain or streak, most self tanning tips suggest avoiding light colours and tight fabrics until your next shower.

 

Exfoliate the night before all waxing (& spray tanning) appointments; this aids in easier hair removal (& a longer lasting tan).

Don't apply deodorant or moisturising cream before a spray tan appointment, these products create a barrier and can cause a patchy tan. 

Do bring thongs and lose dark clothes to spray tan application
