Information
A good spray tan is just as much in your hands as it is in mine. Here is some important info on pre/post tan care, product recommendations, tips for long lasting tans and appointment information.
How to make your tan last.
-
Moo Goo Body Wash (Original, not Coconut Oil) — gentle, pH balanced, no harsh chemicals.
QV Cream — fragrance-free daily moisturiser, safe for sensitive skin.
Exfoliating Mitts — prep before tan + remove old tan gently.
Using the right products is essential for a flawless, long-lasting tan. Avoid soaps, scrubs, or oils that strip colour.
-
Avoid sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your tan.
Exfoliate your whole body with an exfoliating mitt.
Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your tan.
Use the correct products in the days before: Moo Goo Body Wash (Original, not Coconut Oil) and QV Cream.
Keep skin well-moisturised leading up to your tan.
Complete other beauty appointments (waxing, facials, nails, brows, etc.) the day before.
Do not shower immediately before your appointment — shower a few hours prior with warm (not hot) water.
Purified water wipes are available at your appointment to freshen up.
Arrive with no deodorant, lotion, perfume, or makeup.
Wear your hair up.
If washing your hair the day before, exfoliate after to remove any residue.Come in loose, dark clothing — avoid silk.

• Do all beauty treatments such as nails, brows, wash hair, lashes, facials etc.

FAQ’s
-
How many days before an event should I get tanned?
2 days before is ideal. If you can only do 3 days before that is fine so long as you take care of it following tan tips and products. A day before or day of is also do-able, just more risk of it transferring onto your clothes.
-
How long does the spray tan last?
This all depends on how well you take care of it, and your lifestyle. If you're moisturising well and using the correct products, the tan will usually last 1-2 weeks.
-
I'm not sure what colour to book for.. what should I choose?
I can assess your skin in person and we can decide colour depth. So just book for whatever you think and let me know at your appointment you are unsure so we can find the perfect colour for you!
-
What do I wear post-tan? Can I go nude?
Usually the girls wear undies or a g string and that's all! No bra. You are more than welcome to go nude. Please keep in mind you can wear as little or as much as you want to. As long as you are comfortable.
-
Can I get a spray tan whilst pregnant?
Always ask your doctor first, but spray tan is known to be safe for pregnancies. It is important you do your own research. I always suggest wearing a mask. I have spray tanned multiple pregnant ladies.
-
Do you do mobile appointments?
Unfortunately not any more!
-
Can I get a spray tan if I have eczema?
Yes. Follow tan tips and product recommendations leading up to and after tan. I recommend doing a light/medium tan first, we can put barrier cream on any aggravated spots. We can also do a patch test spray for free if you’re worried about a reaction.
-
How do I spray tan if breastfeeding?
We can avoid nipple area and I can give you a wipe to ensure there’s no residue there after the tan. If you’re worried about leaking, you can bring some tape and tissues or pads to tape over the nipple area.
