How to prepare for a spray tan and make it last
The simple steps before and after your appointment that turn a good tan into a beautiful, even one.
At a glance
- Exfoliate the day before; shave or wax at least 24 hours prior.
- Arrive with clean skin and wear loose, dark clothing.
- Moisturise daily and avoid sweating or swimming while your tan develops.
Before your appointment
- Exfoliate gently the day before, focusing on elbows, knees and ankles.
- Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior.
- Arrive with clean skin — no moisturiser, deodorant or makeup.
- Wear loose, dark clothing.
During your appointment
Every spray tan at Fuse begins with a short consultation so your colour is matched to your undertone and the look you want. Your therapist hand-applies the tan in a private suite, adjusting depth to suit you — from soft everyday warmth to a deeper finish for an event.
Straight afterwards
- Wait the recommended development time before rinsing — your therapist will give you personalised timing.
- Avoid sweating, exercise and swimming while your tan develops.
- Keep clothing loose until your first rinse.
Making your tan last
- Pat skin dry after showering rather than rubbing.
- Moisturise every day to help colour fade evenly.
- Limit long hot baths, saunas and chlorinated pools.
- Skip exfoliating products until you are ready for your tan to fade.
Planning for an event
Book your spray tan a day or two before a big occasion so the colour has time to develop and settle. If you are also having makeup, have your tan first.
