Plan your glow.

Tans peak around days 2 to 3 after application. Use this to time your booking so you're glowing on the day that matters.

Wedding day
2 to 3 days before
Lets the color settle into its truest tone and gives a touch-up window if needed.
Photo shoot
2 days before
Hits peak depth and clarity right when the camera does.
Event or vacation
1 to 2 days before
Fresh, deep, and photo-ready by the time you arrive.
Maintenance routine
Every 7 to 10 days
Keeps the season-long glow on autopilot without buildup.

Before your tan.

A little prep the day before makes the difference between a good tan and a flawless one.

1
Exfoliate thoroughly
Pay special attention to knees, elbows, hands, and feet. Drier skin grabs color faster and can darken unevenly without exfoliation.
2
Shave the day before
Same-day shaving can irritate skin and lift fresh tan from your pores. The day prior is the sweet spot.
3
Skip lotions, perfume, deodorant & makeup
Anything sitting on your skin acts as a barrier and creates patchy spots. Arrive bare-skinned for the most even result.
4
Wear loose, dark clothing
Tight or light fabrics can rub or stain while the tan is still developing. Loose & dark = safe.

After your tan.

The first few hours decide how deep, even, and long-lasting the color comes out.

1
Wait 8 hours before your first rinse
Or 1 hour minimum if you booked the Rapid Tan. Patience here is the single biggest factor in how the tan develops.
2
No sweating, swimming, or getting wet
Until the rinse window passes, water and sweat will lift the developing color. Stay cool and dry.
3
Stay in loose clothing while it sets
Same rule as before. Anything tight will press marks into the still-developing tan.
4
Use glycerin-based soap & alcohol-free moisturizer
Standard soaps and alcohol-based products break down a spray tan fast. Glow-friendly products stretch it days longer.
