Getting a custom spray tan gives your skin a golden, even glow. Spray tans can help you feel more confident before an important event, a vacation, or any time you will be wearing revealing clothes like a bathing suit. While regular spray tans in an automatic booth can sometimes lead to a tan that's too dark or that fades unevenly, having a custom spray tan applied is much more likely to give you the results you want. Here are a few tips for your custom spray tan:
Arrive a Bit Early to Your Appointment
When you book a custom spray tan, your aesthetician will personally blend a tanning mix just for you and then hand-spraying it onto your body to ensure a natural and even application. It's a good idea to arrive a bit early to meet your aesthetician and let them know your desired look. For example, you may want a deep tan that looks like you've been on the beach for weeks, or you may just want a slight, subtle glow.
In addition to meeting with your aesthetician, arriving early will allow enough time to sign intake paperwork, as well as remove any jewelry and pull your hair up.
Wear The Right Clothes
Once your spray tan has time to process and you get to shower off, it won't rub off on clothes. But for the first few hours, while it's processing, it can stain clothing. For this reason, it's a good idea to wear dark clothes that won't show stains as readily, or older clothes you don't care about.
Your clothing should also be loose and not restrictive at all so that the clothes don't affect your tan. For example, you should avoid wearing a bra if possible.
Time Your Spray Tan Carefully
For a few hours, while your custom spray tan is processing, you won't be able to shower or engage in any vigorous exercise. After a few hours, you will rinse off in the shower. Your new custom spray tan will deepen over the course of the first day or so, and will typically last for a week or longer.
You should therefore schedule your custom spray tan for a couple of days before a vacation or event. Keeping your skin moisturized can help your tan fade more evenly.
