Tan Commandments: Everything You Should Know Before Getting a Spray TanThese spray tan tips will help you achieve an addicting faux glow |
Plan to Tan Schedule your tan around your day. With most spray tans, you won't be able to shower for six to eight hours after. If you go in the evening after work, you won't be able to shower until the next morning.
Never go straight from your spray tan to an important event. While spray tan liquid is clear, most tan technicians add a brown pigment so they can see where they're applying it. The tan color washes away, but the clear liquid takes time to develop. During that time, the temporary color looks a bit unnatural, especially as the tanning agent under it continues to develop. Best-case scenario, you'll look like you picked too dark a foundation -- worst-case, everyone will question if you rolled in dirt.
