Your Prep Guide
For the best sunless tan with longer lasting results.
why prep your skin?
Spray tan magic happens when sugar-derived compounds meet skin cell amino acids.
Due to the customized interaction between your skin cells, pH levels, and DHA, adhering to our prep guide is crucial. Please review the guide thoroughly.
IMPORTANT TIPS BEFORE TAN -
1. PAUSE retinol ROUTINES 1 WEEK BEFORE.
2. AVOID EXCESSIVE sun exposure 2-4 WEEKS BEFORE.
Shave.
Remove unwanted hair 24 hours prior to tanning, if you would like to. This step is not mandatory only encouraged. For shaving, use a razor without a large moisture strip. Ensure all product residue is washed away from the skin.
Exfoliate.
24 hours before your appointment exfoliate head to toe. This essential step ensures seamless tan application and fade. For your convenience you can purchase all tan prep essentials in our online shop.
Shower.
To avoid mishaps such as streaks, discoloration, and premature fading it is vital you discontinue use of bar and lotion-based soaps such as; Dove, Olay, Bath N Body Works, Nivea, and Treehut products ASAP.
Aleavia body cleanse is our recommended alternative for both prep and post care, available in our online shop.
For best results avoid showering less than 5 hours before your tan.
Spa Services.
Complete other beauty services 24-48 hours before day of tan. Plan accordingly to make your spray tan the last stop on your pre-event beauty schedule. Don't worry, your nail polish color will not be altered.
Sunburns + Tan Lines
We cannot spray tan over sunburned or peeling skin. Please avoid unprotected sun exposure for 2-4 weeks before your appointment. Also, be aware that spray tans can minimize tan lines but won't completely eliminate the contrast.
Summer - Fall Weather.
IT'S HOT YA'LL -
Spray tans and sweat or rain don't mix. Protect your spray tan by staying cool and dry beforehand.
Bring: umbrella, long pants, long sleeves, and a jacket.
To ensure a perfectly prepped canvas, avoid makeup, lotions, oils, deodorant, and perfume on the body. You may apply face skin care. Micellar wipes are provided.
Dry skin? Request our spray tan safe hydration add-on.

Clothing.
When choosing your post tan outfit, go for soft, breathable, dark colors that cover most of your skin. Steer clear of restrictive items such as jeans, athletic clothes, and sports shoes. Pair your loose outfit with open-toed sandals.
Additional Tips.
Pre-Appointment Reminders:
Ensure a smooth and stress free experience by planning accordingly. You must avoid water, sweat, and tight clothing until rinse time, which will vary between 2-8 hours post tan.
For optimal results, moisturize your skin daily and drink plenty of quality water before your upcoming appointment.
