FAQ

Booking and Policies

For the best results, we recommend scheduling your spray tan 2 days before your event. This allows your color to fully develop and settle for a smooth, natural-looking glow.

If you’re tanning for a vacation, we suggest booking your appointment the day before you leave so your tan looks fresh and lasts throughout your trip.

Yes! Our spray tan packages allow you to save 20–40% on your tans. The more you buy, the more you save. All tans are added directly to your account and never expire, so you can use them whenever you’re ready.

Yes! We offer concierge mobile spray tans, bringing a fully customized, luxury tanning experience straight to your chosen location.

Your mobile tan includes a custom-blended, sweat-resistant solution tailored to your skin tone and lifestyle, along with all the essentials for a flawless finish: pre-tan exfoliating wipe, disposable underwear, hairnet, barrier cream where needed, a hydrating tan-extending spray, and a sweat-resistant topper to lock in your glow.

Complimentary contouring is available upon request, and your service is finished with a dusting of luxurious shimmer powder so you leave feeling confident, radiant, and completely obsessed with your tan.

Mobile appointments require a $75 deposit and are 30 minutes. Pricing starts at $200.

All clients under the age of 18 are required to wear underwear during their spray tan. Complimentary disposable underwear is provided at your appointment, or you’re welcome to bring and wear your own.

Additionally, a parent or legal guardian must be present for the entire appointment. These policies are strictly enforced for all clients under 18.

Prep and Appointment Day

Please review the following guidelines carefully to ensure the best possible results from your spray tan:

Shower at least 3 hours before your appointment.

Shave, wax, and exfoliate at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

This allows pores time to close and amino acids in the skin to rebalance—both are essential for proper DHA development. Skipping this step may result in dark spots or uneven color.

  • Do not use lotion, gel, wax, shaving cream, or oil-based products within 24 hours of your appointment, as residue can block proper color development.
  • Do not wear makeup, moisturizer, sunscreen, perfume, or deodorant on the day of your appointment.
  • Moisturize your skin in the days leading up to your appointment (but not the day of your tan).
  • Spray tans may be applied with or without undergarments or a bathing suit, based on your comfort level.
  • We recommend wearing loose, dark-colored clothing when leaving your appointment.

After your spray tan, it’s important to let your skin breathe. Tight or restrictive clothing can interfere with color development, so we recommend avoiding bras, leggings, jeans, tight socks, and closed-toe shoes.

Instead, opt for loose, dark clothing and wear slides, sandals, or slippers to protect your fresh glow.

If it’s raining, be sure to bring an umbrella and keep all skin fully covered on your way out to prevent water spots or streaking.

For the best results, please arrive with any previous spray tan fully exfoliated and removed. Applying a new tan over leftover color can lead to uneven results and patchy fading.

For the smoothest, most flawless glow, it’s always best to start with a clean, fresh canvas. We do offer a tan remover in our Glow Essentials shop that’s basically magic in a tub.

Absolutely not—there’s no one-size-fits-all glow here. Each tan is fully customized to your unique skin tone and color goals using expert color theory and the Fitzpatrick scale to ensure the most natural-looking results.

Aftercare and Longevity

To ensure the best color development and longest-lasting results, please follow these aftercare guidelines carefully:

Avoid sweating and all contact with liquids during the development period. If it’s raining or snowing, wear long, fully covering clothing to protect your tan.

Do not apply lotion, makeup, or skincare during the development period.

If you’ll be sleeping in your solution, wear long, loose clothing to prevent transfer.

Rinse within 1–5 hours or 8–12 hours, depending on the solution selected and the timing Maddie recommended for you.

For your first rinse, rinse your entire body and face thoroughly until the water runs clear. Avoid using soap during this first shower.

Moisturize daily with a spray tan–friendly lotion to extend longevity. We highly recommend Lemon Drop Shimmer Moisturizer, available in our shop.

Avoid excessive sweating, hot tubs, saunas, and frequent long, hot showers or baths, as these can cause your tan to fade more quickly.

Do not wax any areas where solution has been applied for the duration of your tan. Shaving is allowed occasionally using a non–moisture strip razor and light pressure.

Use gentle facial cleansers only—avoid oil-based or exfoliating products.

Avoid lotions, soaps, and body washes containing mineral oils, petroleum, or alcohol, as these ingredients can strip your tan.

Do not exfoliate while your tan is developing or wearing. Once your tan begins to fade, exfoliate again to remove any remaining color and prep for your next tan.

Proper maintenance is key to extending the life of your spray tan and keeping it looking smooth and radiant.

Take short showers and moisturize daily using a spray tan–safe, natural lotion to help maintain hydration and color.

The following can cause your spray tan to fade faster:

Chlorine

Salt water

Long, hot showers or baths

Saunas

Excessive sweating

Always wear SPF. A spray tan does not protect your skin from the sun and is not a “base tan.”

Using the right products is key to keeping your spray tan looking fresh and even.

Avoid these brands, as they can strip or fade your tan more quickly:

EOS
Dove
Bath & Body Works
Victoria’s Secret

Tan-safe favorites we recommend:

The Sunless Bar Lemon Drop Shimmer Moisturizer

The Sunless Bar French 75 Shimmer Body Wash

Hempz

Cetaphil

Honest

Aveeno (fragrance-free)

Aleavia

I personally love and recommend the Flamingo Pubic Razor when shaving with a spray tan. Razors with heavy moisture strips can strip your tan and shorten its longevity.

When shaving over a tan, always use light pressure and a gentle, tan-safe cleanser to help preserve your color and keep fading even.

On average, clients using our Rapid Rinse solution can expect their glow to last 5–8 days, while those using our 8-Hour Solution typically enjoy results lasting 7–10 days.

Keep in mind—every body is different! Some clients see their tan last 12–14 days.

Longevity depends largely on how well you prep your skin beforehand and how you care for it afterward. For best results, be sure to review our Prep and Aftercare Instructions—your glow will thank you!

Other factors that may affect how your tan develops and how long it lasts include:

Pregnancy

Hormonal shifts (such as your menstrual cycle & pregnancy)

Recent changes in medications

Keeping your skin moisturized and hydrated helps lock in your tan and keeps it looking fresh and radiant. For best results, apply a spray tan–friendly lotion daily, drink plenty of water, and use tan-safe products to extend longevity and maintain an even, glowing finish.
