How to Prep for Your Spray Tan
Follow these simple steps to ensure the best possible results from your Golden Glow session.
Your Prep Timeline
The Night Before
Gently exfoliate your entire body using a gentle body scrub or exfoliating mitt. Pay special attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists. This removes dead skin cells and creates a smooth canvas for even color absorption. If you need to shave, do it now.
Day of Your Appointment
Shower without applying any products afterward. Come to your appointment with completely bare skin — no moisturizer, deodorant, perfume, makeup, or sunscreen. Wear loose, dark clothing that you don't mind getting a little bronzer on. Remove all jewelry.
Prepare Your Space
Clear a 4x4 foot area where Jessica can set up the tanning tent. A bathroom, spare bedroom, or garage work perfectly. Make sure there's a power outlet nearby. Jessica brings everything else — tent, equipment, solutions, and disposable supplies.
