Spray Tanning
Although each person’s skin varies it is ideal to have your tan about 2 days before a special event, especially if it's your first time.
Before your tan – We suggest you shower just before your appointment. If you shave, we advise to do so as well and then exfoliate with gloves or a loofah, concentrating on dry areas such as hands, feet, elbows, knees and tops of your toes. It's important NOT to apply any deodorant or moisturisers before application of the tan.
What to wear - Loose fitting and darker coloured clothing is recommended after your tan has been applied. Any rub off will easily wash out of most fabrics, but some lighter coloured materials, including leather may stain. Some clients prefer to wear their own underwear - bra/g-string but we can provide disposable g-strings, if you prefer. You may even go fully nude – it’s entirely up to you! We will work with whatever is most comfortable for you.
After your tan – As mentioned above loose dark clothing is preferable. Tight fitting clothing may cause your skin to sweat and lessen the tanning effect. We also advise that you go home without your bra on. It is suggested that you wear slip-on shoes/thongs.
We use two brands of spray tan solution; Naked Tan (2-hour tan) and VANI-T’s Velocity (3 shades in one solution – 1 – 4 hour tan).
Once out of shower, pat yourself dry. Do not rub as this will cause tan to come off uneven. To prolong the life of your tan we suggest you moisturise twice a day. As everyone is different, you will generally get 5 to 7 days out of your tan.
It's important NOT to exfoliate after your spray tan has been applied. It’s best to wait until your tan has started to fade.
Moisturising is the best way to prolong the life of your tan. We recommend Vani-T’s Body Frosting Organic Body Crème which is a rich, velvety crème containing botanical extracts and intensive hydrating and skin firming ingredients to deeply nourish the skin.
Alternatively, you can use Vani-T’s Bronzing Custard Moisturiser which is a bronzing moisturiser with a unique blend of hydrating oils and anti-oxidants to improve the skins hydration, elasticity and tone. It also has a hint of self-tanning agent to boost your existing tan, or just use it to build a natural glow.
We also recommend Naked Tan’s retail range, including Organic Body Cleanser (SLS free), Crème de la Crème (moisturize every day to keep your spray tan even and long lasting), Goddess Glaze, a gradual tan to build and extend the longevity of your tan, and the NEW Bronzing Mousse (2 in 1 – instant tan and hydrating!) or Goddess Glaze. Either of these products can be used alone for a darker, deeper tan. You can use either of these products alone or over a spray tan.
