4 Spray Tan Preparation & Maintenance FAQs

Should I Exfoliate the Day of My Appointment?

Exfoliation is necessary to achieve an even spray tan application, but it's important to give your skin at least eight hours to rid itself of the dead cells on the surface. Shower or bathe the night before your session and exfoliate with a gentle product to prevent irritation. Finish off your preparation with a lightweight moisturizer.
