Spray Tan Prep Checklist: What To Do 24 Hours Before Your Appointment

A great spray tan starts before your technician even arrives. The way you prepare your skin in the 24 hours leading up to your appointment can completely change your final result. This simple spray tan prep checklist will help your colour apply smoothly, develop evenly and last longer.

1. Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your tan

Removing old tan, dead skin and dry patches helps your new tan glide on smoothly. Use a mitt, body scrub or exfoliating glove. Focus on elbows, knees, ankles and the back of your arms. Avoid doing this immediately before your appointment, as exfoliation can open your pores.

2. Complete all hair removal at least 24 hours before

If you shave or wax too close to your appointment, your skin can become sensitive, or the colour can settle unevenly. Shave or wax the day before to give your skin time to calm and your pores time to close.

3. Avoid heavy moisturisers and oils

Products that contain oils or silicone can create a barrier on the skin that stops the tan from developing properly. Keep your skin clean and product-free before your technician arrives.

4. Avoid deodorant, perfume and makeup on the day

These can interfere with the solution and create uneven patches. If needed, lightly cleanse your underarms or face before your Bronzed appointment.

5. Shower before your appointment (but keep it simple)

Take a quick shower before your tan, but skip:

• oils

• heavy moisturisers

• serums

• body butters

A clean, dry base ensures a flawless result.

6. Wear loose, dark clothing

Choose loose, comfortable, dark clothing for after your tan. Avoid tight items like sports bras, leggings or anything with elastic that may rub against your developing colour.

7. Prepare your space at home

The benefit of a mobile spray tan is convenience. Before your Bronzed technician arrives, simply:

• clear a small area

• switch on a fan or open a window if it is warm

• keep kids and pets away from the tent area for a few minutes

It does not need to be perfect. Just enough room for the tent.

8. Book ahead if you are in a peak period

Our Port Macquarie and surrounding suburbs get busy around holidays, formals and long weekends.

Book your appointment 1 or 2 days before your event for the perfect development time.
