A typical spray tan will last around 7 - 10 days depending on your activity and post-tanning aftercare routine. Since the tan develops on the surface of the skin, the rate of your skin's own natural renewing cycle will affect how long it lasts. To maximise results, use a lightweight moisturiser daily. Look for a tan-extending lotion that’s designed to hydrate and prolong your tan without stripping it.

I recommend wearing loose fitting dark clothing such as baggy trackie bottoms, loose tee and a hoodie. For the actual spraying, it depends if you would like tan lines or not. If you do, then wear dark briefs, trunks or thong that match the shape of the tan lines you would like to have. If you want an all over tan, then you will need to wear as little as possible - a modesty pouch or sock (which can be provided) for example. The tanning solution easily washes out of clothing but I would avoid wearing light coloured delicate fabrics next to the skin until after the tan has developed and you've rinsed. 

The secret to a flawless tan starts with preparation. A day or two before your appointment, give your skin a good scrub, paying extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and heels since the tanning agent clings to dead skin cells, and these drier areas tend to absorb more solution, leading to darker patches.

For the best results, your skin should be a "clear canvas." This means avoiding body lotion, cologne, and deodorant on the day of your tan. If you're coming straight from work, a quick shower beforehand is a great way to ensure your skin is clean and ready.

It's best to avoid shaving or waxing right before your spray tan. We advise doing any hair removal at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. This prevents skin irritation and allows the tan to bind properly for an even finish. However,  your usual daily facial shaving routine is okay, unless you suffer from skin irritation.
