Spray Tan

At Gloss Beauty Salon we choose to use Glow By Beca (medium shade, 2-4 hour developing time) and Sunescape (light, medium, dark & ultra dark shades, 1-4 hour developing time). Both brands suit all skin types. Our spray tans last well, fade evenly and have no strong odour. Your therapist will advise which brand and shade best suits your skin tone and individual needs.

Tips for Spray Tanning

  1. Prepare your skin by exfoliating the night before. This removes the top layer of dead skin cells and will make your tan last longer.
  2. Shave or wax before you have your spray tan. Preferably 1 day before you get the tan.
  3. Avoid wearing perfume for a few days before you get your tan as some perfumes can permeate the skin and interfere with tanning solutions even if you have showered. This can create a peeling or patchy effect. There is no real way of knowing which products will affect your tan and which ones won’t.
  4. Skip deodorant, make up, and moisturiser on the day you are having your tan applied. Some of these can interfere with the tanning solution and prevent it sticking to the skin. Some deodorants even turn the tanning solution green!
  5. Don’t have a full shower - first shower after your tan is just to get the tan residue off, do not use soap, shampoo, conditioner or a loofa and do not moisturise straight after, wait at LEAST 6 hours after that shower to have another one if desired
  6. Moisturise as often as possible once you have your tan to make it last longer. If dead skin cells are shed they will take your tan with them. Moisturiser will keep them attached to your body. At a minimum you should moisturise morning, night, and after taking a shower.
