Question 1

How should I prepare for my Paint Me Pretty glow up?

Accepted Answer

Shave and exfoliate at least 24 hours prior to your session — preferably with a razor that has no moisture strips. Come to your appointment with no lotions, oils, perfume or jewelry, and make sure any excess tan is completely scrubbed off.

Question 2

What should I wear to my session?

Accepted Answer

Loose-fitted, dark clothing — preferably a long sleeve and sweatpants.

Question 3

When can I shower?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the solution. For rapid solutions, typically 3–5 hours. For standard overnight solutions, 8–12 hours.

Question 4

When can I work out?

Accepted Answer

Your first shower is a rinse only. Wait until after your second shower with soap before letting yourself sweat — your DHA is still processing and there may be excess bronzer on the skin.

Question 5

How long will my tan last?

Accepted Answer

Up to 10 days with proper care.

Question 6

How do I make my tan last longer?

Accepted Answer

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Use a tan-safe lotion, drink plenty of water, avoid harsh chemicals on the skin, and pat dry with your towel rather than rubbing.

Question 7

Will I turn orange or look fake?

Accepted Answer

Modern professional solutions will not give you an orange hue unless you leave the tan on longer than directed. Follow your artist's instructions for a flawless finish.

Question 8

Is spray tanning safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Spray tanning is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but we always recommend consulting with your doctor first.

Question 9

Can I get a spray tan if I have sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes — high-quality solutions work for many sensitive skin types. If you're concerned, we can do a 24-hour patch test before your full session.

Question 10

What are some other pro tips for tanning?

Accepted Answer

Schedule manicures and pedicures before your tan; use a gentle body wash and tan-safe moisturizer; sleep on dark sheets the first night; and delay shaving for a few days to avoid stripping the color.
