What Is Spray Tanning?

Spray tanning is a safe and effective way to achieve a temporary tan without sun exposure. Unlike tanning beds or sunbathing - which can damage and prematurely age the skin - our technique uses a fine mist of high-quality spray tanning solution that reacts with the top layer of your skin to create a natural-looking bronze tone. It’s like a safe, cosmetic stain for your skin that enhances your glow without the risk.

To get the best spray tan results, proper preparation is key. A few simple steps can help your tan develop evenly and last longer - giving you that flawless glow without streaks or patchiness.

  • Let sunburns heal first
    If you've had a recent sunburn, it's best to wait at least 2–4 weeks before getting a spray tan. Peeling or irritated skin can lead to uneven color and blotchy areas.

  • Exfoliate 24 hours in advance
    Gently exfoliate your skin with a mitt or scrub to remove dead skin cells. This helps the spray tanning solution adhere smoothly and evenly for a natural finish.

  • Shave or wax at least 24 hours before
    Shaving right before your appointment may cause the solution to settle in open pores, leading to a “dotted” look. To avoid this, wax or shave the day prior.

  • Skip lotions, perfumes, and deodorants
    On the day of your session, avoid applying any skincare or body products. These can act as barriers, disrupting the pH balance of your skin and causing patchy results.

  • Moisturize dry areas only
    If you have particularly dry areas (like elbows, knees, or ankles), apply a light moisturizer at least 2 hours before your appointment. This prevents those areas from over-absorbing the solution.

  • Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing
    After your tan, you’ll want to avoid anything tight that could rub against the skin. Bring dark-colored, loose clothing and flip-flops to keep your glow intact.

Spray Tan Aftercare

To make the most of your spray tanning session and ensure a smooth, even fade, proper aftercare is essential. Following these simple steps will help extend the life of your tan and keep it looking radiant for days to come.

The First 6-8 Hours Are Key

After your appointment, your spray tanning solution will continue to develop. During this time, avoid any activities that may cause water or sweat to come into contact with your skin - this includes showering, swimming, exercising, or even washing dishes. If your skin does get wet, gently pat it dry. Rubbing can cause streaks or uneven fading.

First Shower Tips

When you do shower (after at least 6–8 hours, or as directed for rapid tans), expect some bronzer to rinse off—this is normal and not your actual tan. Use only your hands and a gentle, low-pH body wash—skip the loofahs, scrubs, or bar soaps. These can strip the tan too soon. Also, avoid urinating in the shower—yes, really! It can cause streaks on your legs.

Post-Shower Moisturizing

After your shower, always pat your skin dry with a soft towel - no rubbing. Then apply a hydrating, fragrance-free moisturizer. Keeping your skin well-moisturized helps your tan fade gradually and evenly. Moisturize morning and night to maintain your glow.

Sleeping in Your Tan

Planning to sleep in your spray tan? We recommend wearing loose, full-coverage clothing like long sleeves and pants. This prevents the tan from transferring to your palms or creating uneven patches while you sleep.

As Helena’s award-winning skincare clinic, we go above and beyond to ensure your tan is even, flattering, and perfectly matched to your skin tone. Our expert technicians customize every session based on your desired shade, undertone, and skin type for results you’ll love.
