We recommend waiting 12 hours before your initial shower.
The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes, from start to finish.
The typical spray tan will last 7-10 days with proper care and upkeep. It is important to follow the steps listed on our Tan Care page to get the best quality tan possible.
Tan Care
- Exfoliate 2-3 times, 1-2 days prior to your appointment using an oil-free body scrub or an exfoliating mitt (a mitt is best!)
- HYDRATE! Stay hydrated, sis. Drink lots of water and keep your skin moisturized days leading up to your appointment.
- Absolutely no Dove soap or Bath and Body Works products 72 hours before and after your tan! These soaps contain ingredients that not only strip your tan, but leave a film on your skin that the spray solution may not be able to penetrate through, causing an uneven tan.
- Shave and/or wax 24+ hours before your appointment.
- Avoid showering/using hair products within 4 hours or your appointment (preferably avoided the day of your appointment). If you must shower, use warm water only, absolutely no soaps.
- Your spray tan session should be your last spa appointment. Complete all other appointments prior to your spray tan (nails, hair, massages, facials, etc).
Nude Glow will not be held responsible for undesirable results if proper prep and maintenance steps are not followed.
- Arrive to your spray tanning session free of any barriers, including makeup, deodorant, lotion, and body sprays/perfumes. These create a barrier on your skin and does not mix well with our spray solution.
- After your tan I will have you dry off for a few minutes getting dressed. Loose, dark clothing to wear after your session. Tight clothing will rub against your skin which may cause an uneven tan.

- Wait the given amount of processing time before rinsing in the shower. The amount of time is very important for the proper development of the tan.
- Avoid any activities that may provoke getting wet or sweating while your tan is processing.
- Wear loose, dark clothing immediately following your session and while your tan is processing.
- When your processing time is up, rinse well with warm water only for a good 5 minutes until water is clear. You may use your hands to guide the bronzers off of the skin while showering. Absolutely no soaps until 24 hours after your session.
- Ps don’t worry its normal to not see that much color after 1st shower as it takes a full 20 hours for color to develop.

- Aftercare products are crucial for your tan. A tan extending lotion and spray tan safe soap and moisturizer will give your glow the love it deserves. Ask us for recommendations.
- Mineral oils, petroleum, alcohol, parabens and sulfates found in most creams and body washes can cause your tan to fade unevenly and prematurely. So be sure to check your product ingredient list!
- Keeping your body moisturized is KEY to keeping the tan hydrated. Hydrated skin makes for an amazing, long-lasting color. Drinking tons of H2O isn’t a bad idea either 🙂
- Avoid the use of hot tubs and chlorinated pools!
- If you are a regular tanner, please be sure to exfoliate your tan off prior to a new application! This will ensure amazing, even and long-lasting results!
