Shower Before Spray Tanning

For best spray tan preparation we recommend you shower 12-24 hours before your mobile airbrush tan appointment. Showering the day before is recommended. It will ensure your body is at its natural PH level when it’s time for your airbrush appointment. Washing your hair should be done as well. Make sure to completely rinse out shampoo and conditioner. Products left on your neck, back, or body can be avoided.

Exfoliation Before Spray Tanning

To get the very best spray tan preparation alway try exfoliating before your appointment. This will help remove any dead skin cells making your skin smooth. That will ensure your skin is able to absorb the utmost solution. Having dead skin cells present while getting your airbrush tan can lead to a streaky, uneven, patchy airbrush tan. Lovely Airbrush Tanning Co advises you to use a coarse, oil free, physical exfoliant. You may use a dry brush, body scrub, or loofah. If you have excessively dry skin, we recommend exfoliating a week leading up to your airbrush tan.

Shave Before Spray Tanning

Another best spray tan preparation is shaving after your airbrush tan. This can cause a streaky look as shaving not only removes your hair, it removes the airbrush solution as well. We recommend shaving at least 12-24 hours before your airbrush tan appointment. Your pores will be closed by the time of your appointment. If you choose to wax, please do so 12-24 hours before so. Waxing opens up your pores and can lead to an uneven airbrush tan. If you must shave after your airbrush tan, wait at least 8 hours after your appointment. Always use an oil free shaving cream, and shave lightly not pressing too hard on your skin.

Plan Nail, Hair & Facial Appointments Before Spray Tanning

Another one of the best spray tan preparation nail appointments should be done 24 hours before your appointment. Receiving a nail service after your airbrush tan can strip the airbrush tan. This will leave you with uneven hands and feet, sometimes even legs. Facial appointments should be done at least 2 days before your airbrush appointment. Do this to ensure there’s no leftover product on your face the day of your airbrush tan. Hair appointments along with nails need to be at least 24 hours before your airbrush tan appointment. The products from hair appointments and hair washing can strip your airbrush tan. Do this to avoid causing a chemical reaction if it gets on your airbrush tan.

Avoid Moisturizer, Makeup, and Deodorant Before Spray Tanning

To achieve an important best spray tan preparation use moisturizer, deodorant, and makeup. These products act as a barrier on your skin, preventing your skin from fully absorbing the airbrush tan solution. If you work before your appointment or take an appointment on your lunch break. You can remove your makeup using our complimentary oil free makeup wipes. We always carry oil free makeup remover wipes for removing any makeup before your airbrush appointment. Deodorant can cause a chemical reaction with the DHA, leaving your skin green until post rinse. No need to worry if you forget, the skin goes back to normal color after rinse.
