Wipe Off Your Deodorant Before You Tan
You'll also want to wipe off your deodorant before you begin the spray-tanning process, Irwin suggests, as tanned skin and white armpits can look a bit awkward.

Leave Your Skin Alone
"Lotions, creams, and soaps that are left on the body can make a solution spray go on unevenly," says Frei. She explains that it's best to have clean skin — meaning, no products — prior to your tan.

Shave AND Shampoo Before Your Appointment
"I always advise my clients to shave, wash their hair, and exfoliate before their appointment," Frei explains. That way, your first shower post-tanning can be a really quick rinse (which in turn will help your tan stick around a little longer).

Feel Free to Wear Whatever You Like
"Clients can wear as much or as little clothing as they would like," says Frei. "Sometimes our clients love to see the tan line, so they will wear underwear." She adds that other clients — who prefer not to have tan lines — can go completely commando.

You Always Can Get Bronzed at Home
"Our company, as well as several other spray tanning companies, often offer mobile appointments," Frei explains. This entails a professionally trained spray tanner coming straight to your home, office, or hotel, and delivering a premium quality tan right in the comfort of your home.
