Achieving a flawless and long-lasting Spray Tan requires more than just stepping into the tanning booth. Proper skin preparation is essential to ensure even color application and prolonged results. When done right, a Spray Tan can make your skin glow with a natural radiance for days, enhancing your look for special events or just giving you a sun-kissed hue year-round. This blog post will focus on preparing your skin for a Spray Tan, highlighting the fully automated VersaSpa PRO Spray Tan booth, a revolutionary system available at Plush Tan, the UAE’s premier destination for both Spray and UV Tanning services.

Why Proper Skin Preparation is Crucial

Your skin is the foundation for any Spray Tan. Dead skin cells, dryness, or uneven texture can cause the tan to appear patchy, fade prematurely, or cling to areas that aren’t properly exfoliated. If you want your Spray Tan to last longer and look flawless, investing time in prepping your skin before your session is essential. This preparation ensures that your tan is absorbed evenly and stays radiant for days.

Step 1: Exfoliate Your Skin

The first and most important step in preparing for a long-lasting Spray Tan is exfoliation. Dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of your skin and, if not removed, can cause uneven tanning. Exfoliation sloughs off these dead cells and ensures the smoothest canvas possible for the tanning solution.

How to Exfoliate Properly:

• Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or mitt, focusing on areas prone to roughness, like elbows, knees, and ankles.
• Avoid oil-based scrubs as they can leave a residue that might interfere with the spray tan solution. Opt for a water-based scrub instead.
• Exfoliate at least 24 hours before your appointment. This gives your skin time to calm down from any irritation, minimizing the chance of redness.

Step 2: Shave or Wax in Advance

Hair removal is another key step, but it should be done in advance to prevent irritation and maximize your spray tan’s longevity.

When to Shave or Wax:

• Shave at least 12-24 hours before your tanning session. Freshly shaved skin can be sensitive, and shaving right before a tan may lead to streaks or blotchiness.
• If you prefer waxing, do so at least 48 hours prior to your session to give your skin enough time to recover from any redness or irritation.

Step 3: Moisturize Strategically

While moisturizing is essential for healthy skin, you’ll want to adjust your routine before a Spray Tan. On the day of your appointment, avoid using lotions, oils, or perfumes, as these can create a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution.

Tips for Moisturizing:

• In the days leading up to your appointment, make sure to hydrate your skin well, especially in areas prone to dryness, like your elbows and knees.
• Use an oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin soft without leaving any residue that could impact the tan.
• Avoid moisturizing on the day of your tan unless directed otherwise by your tanning technician.

Step 4: Dress for Success

Your choice of clothing on the day of your Spray Tan can affect the outcome of your tan.

What to Wear:

• Opt for dark, loose-fitting clothing after your tanning session to avoid rubbing off the solution.
• Wear sandals or flip-flops to prevent smudging on your feet.
• Avoid tight straps, socks, or anything that could create pressure points on your skin before the tan is fully developed.

Step 5: Skip Deodorant, Perfume, and Makeup

Deodorants, perfumes, and makeup can interfere with the tanning solution and may cause uneven results. On the day of your Spray Tan:

• Skip these products entirely to ensure your skin is a clean, even surface for the tanning solution.
• If you need to wear makeup, remove it before entering the VersaSpa PRO Spray Tan booth at Plush Tan using makeup wipes provided at our salons.

Step 6: Post-Tan Hydration and Maintenance

Once your tan is applied, the work doesn’t stop there. Post-tan care is crucial to extending the life of your Spray Tan. Follow these steps:

• Wait 6-8 hours before showering to allow the tan to develop fully.
• Avoid using hot water, as it can cause the tan to fade faster. Instead, use lukewarm water when showering.
• Moisturize your skin daily with an oil-free lotion to lock in hydration and prevent the tan from drying out or flaking.
