How should I prepare for my spray tan?
For the best results, exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment to remove dry skin and create a smooth canvas. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, dry skin free of lotions, oils, makeup, deodorant, perfume, or sunscreen. Wear loose, dark clothing and avoid tight-fitting garments immediately after your appointment to help ensure an even, flawless finish.
Can I wear makeup, deodorant, or lotion to my appointment?
It's best to arrive with completely clean skin. Makeup, deodorant, lotions, oils, perfumes, and sunscreen can create a barrier that prevents the tanning solution from developing evenly. Removing all products beforehand helps achieve the most natural, streak-free result.
Will my spray tan stain my clothes or sheets?
The cosmetic bronzer may transfer slightly onto clothing or bedding before your first rinse, but it is temporary and typically washes out of most fabrics. Wearing loose, dark clothing after your appointment is recommended. Once you've completed your first rinse and the tan has fully developed, transfer is minimal.
Can I get a spray tan while pregnant?
Many expecting mothers choose spray tanning as an alternative to sun exposure or tanning beds. Tan Bora Spray Bar uses vegan, skin-friendly solutions, but every pregnancy is unique. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's always recommended to consult your healthcare provider before your appointment. If approved, protective nose filters and lip balm can be provided to help minimize inhalation during your session.
Can I exercise after my spray tan?
It’s best to avoid exercising, sweating, swimming, or any activity that causes excessive moisture until after your first rinse. Sweat can interfere with the tanning solution as it develops, which may lead to uneven results. Once you’ve completed your initial rinse and your tan has fully developed, you can return to your normal workout routine.
Can I shave or wax after a spray tan?
For the longest-lasting results, shave or wax before your appointment whenever possible. Waxing after a spray tan will remove the tan along with the hair, while frequent shaving can cause your tan to fade more quickly. If you need to shave after your tan has developed, use a fresh razor and shave gently with a moisturizing, sulfate-free shaving cream to help preserve your color.
Why choose sunless spray tanning?
Sunless tanning is the safest way to achieve any level of tan! Whether you want to look fabulous for the night or simply avoid wrinkles and sun damage, sunless tanning will give you a flawless natural tan instantly.
The key to a long lasting spray tan is to stay moisturized! Most applications last anywhere from 7-10 days. It’s important to exfoliate and shave prior to your spray tan appointment. This will give you long lasting results. Avoid laser and waxing before appointment. You will want to stay away from chlorine water anywhere from 24-48 hours after a fresh spray.
What do I wear to an appointment?
You will want to wear something loose fitting and dark to your spray tan appointment. Especially if your formula consists of any type of bronzer. Wear something that you don’t mind getting solution on. It may not stain but there is no guarantee. Do not recommend a tight bra or underwear.
