PREP & MAINTENANCE
GET A GLOW AT DESERT SKYE SPRAY TANNING
48-12 hours before your spray
Before your tan
Shower, shave and exfoliate 12-24 hours prior to your appointment
Using a gel-based body wash is best. NO DOVE! (See approved product list below) Showering and shaving too close to your spray tan appointment can negatively alter the way your skin processes the tanning solution.
waxing, massages or pedicures
Complete these at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. This will ensure the oils and products they use have had the proper amount of time to wash off your skin. Do not use any retinol products the week leading up to your tan.

What if I’m sunburnt?
During sunburn season (spring /summer) you will need to wait 4 weeks after a peeling burn to get a spray tan. Failure to do so, will result in a very uneven/splotchy tan. If I show to your appointment to find client with a fresh burn, I will sadly have to decline service and keep deposit of $25.00.
what products can I use the day of?
Come to your appointment with your skin free of all products. This includes jewelry, lotions, deodorant, make-up, oils and perfumes.
12-0 hours before your tan
The day of your tan
wear loose/dark clothing and open-toed sandals or slides post appointment
Please note that the bronzer in the spray tan solution may transfer to your items but is water soluble and should wash out. You will want to stay away from tight clothing, bras, socks and tennis shoes until your tan develops fully.
prepare an open space for your tan with good lighting
I am a come to you service, so please prepare a space for your spray. Please feel comfortable to be bare skin (no tan lines) or I provide disposable thong under wear. You can as well chose your own swim wear suggest dark color.
AVOID WATER AND SWEAT WHILE YOUR TAN DEVELOPS
Stay away from any cleaning or physical activities immediately after your tan. Also avoid water (it is like death to a fresh spray tan) after being sprayed so your tan can develop evenly.
I’M COMING FROM WORK, IS MAKEUP OKAY?
No— Please come to your appointment with your skin free of all products. This includes jewelry, lotions, deodorant, make-up, oils and perfumes.
I BOOKED A WORKOUT CLASS FOR THE DAY OF, IS THAT OKAY?
Please plan for NO physical activities, and any cleaning after your spray. In order for your tan to develop evenly you need to avoid water (and sweat) after being sprayed until the tan is fully developed.
How much space do I need for the spray equipment?
When I come to you we will need a open space with good lighting for example (center of your living room, master bathroom or even your kitchen). As long as the space is big enough for my pop-up tent, with good lighting, we are good to go!
General over all spray tan start to finish takes no more than 30 minutes.

I’M READY TO SHOWER, NOW WHAT?
When it is time for that first shower post spray tan, do not use soap. Just a water rinse is recommended. If needed, you can lightly wash pits/privates but keep the soap very minimal. The goal is to get in and out in as quickly and sufficiently as possible!
If you see streaks after getting out of the shower, quickly hop back in and use your (soap free) hands to guide the leftover bronzer off. When eating the shower you will pat dry with a dry towel
Keep in mind the more water exposure your skin has, the faster the spray tan will fade away. Keep the water temperature lukewarm to cool for that first shower and on to maintain best results.
