A Spray Tan can be a fantastic way to achieve a sun-kissed glow without UV exposure. Whether you’re prepping for a big event or want to maintain a year-round tan, your first Spray Tan session can be a game-changer. Here’s a comprehensive guide to ensure you get the best results from your first Spray Tan experience.
Understand the Process
Before your appointment, it’s essential to understand what a Spray Tan involves. A Spray Tan is a fine mist applied to your body that contains DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a colorless sugar that interacts with the proteins in your skin to produce a tan. The process is quick, typically 15-20 minutes, and can be done using a handheld spray or a fully automated booth.
Choose the Right Salon
Choosing the right salon is crucial for a great Spray Tan. Look for a salon with good reviews, experienced technicians, and high-quality products. Plush Tan, with its fully automated VersaSpa PRO Spray Tan booths and organic, paraben-free, non-GMO solutions, is a top choice for a flawless tan in the UAE.
Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliation is key to achieving an even tan. Dead skin cells can cause the tan to look patchy and uneven. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a loofah to remove dead skin cells, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. It’s best to exfoliate the day before your appointment.
Shave or Wax in Advance
If you shave or wax, do so at least 24 hours before your Spray Tan. Shaving or waxing immediately before your session can leave your skin sensitive and pores open, which may cause an uneven tan. Doing this a day in advance gives your skin time to settle down and close the pores.
Avoid Moisturizers, Perfumes, and Deodorants
On the day of your Spray Tan, avoid applying any lotions, perfumes, or deodorants. These products can create a barrier on your skin, preventing the tanning solution from adhering correctly. Your skin should be clean and dry when you arrive at the salon.
Wear Loose, Dark Clothing
Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment. Tight clothes can rub against your skin and cause the tan to smudge or wear off in certain areas. Dark colors are recommended to avoid staining your clothes with any residual tanning solution.
Protect Your Hands, Elbows, and Feet
Apply a barrier cream to your hands, elbows, and feet to ensure a flawless tan. These areas tend to absorb more tanning solution and can become darker than the rest of your body. This step helps to prevent over-tanning and ensures a more even, natural look.
Remove Makeup and Jewelry
Before your session, remove all makeup, jewelry, and accessories. These can prevent the tanning solution from reaching all areas of your skin and result in an uneven tan. If you have long hair, tie it up to keep it off your face and neck.
Follow the Technician’s Instructions
If you’re using a fully automated booth like the VersaSpa PRO, the instructions will guide you through the process. For handheld sprays, follow your technician’s instructions carefully. They will tell you how to position your body and ensure an even application.
Stay Dry for 6-8 Hours Minimum
After your Spray Tan, stay dry for at least 6-8 hours to allow the tan to develop fully. Avoid showering, sweating, or any activities that might cause you to get wet. This waiting period is crucial for achieving the best results.
Rinse Off Gently
When it’s time to shower, use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing your skin. To preserve your tan, use a gentle, sulfate-free body wash. Pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing it to prevent the tan from fading prematurely.
Moisturize Daily
Keeping your skin moisturized will help extend the life of your tan. Use a hydrating, oil-free lotion daily to keep your skin soft and supple. Avoid alcohol-containing products, as they can dry out your skin and cause your tan to fade more quickly.
Avoid Exfoliating and Swimming
To maintain your tan, avoid exfoliating your skin and swimming in chlorinated water, as both can cause your tan to fade faster. If you plan to swim, rinse off immediately afterward and apply a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
