Spray Tan Preparation 101
Party season is officially here! And with it, the need for glowing skin is key to matching any dazzling outfit. As a spray tan artist, your expertise can guide your clients on how to look their best for every festive occasion. But achieving the perfect spray tan isn’t just about the application, it’s also about pre-appointment prep, guiding clients through the process, and recommending the correct aftercare. Here’s how you can help your clients get the most out of their spray tans this party season.
Pre-Appointment Prep
Educate your clients on how to prepare their skin before arriving at your salon to ensure the tan goes on as evenly as possible, whilst also lasting. Let’s go through our step-by-step process:
- Exfoliate the day before
Recommend your clients use a high-quality exfoliator, such as the Naomi Rose Exfoliating Body Scrub, to remove any dead skin cells to create a smooth base for the tan. This step is crucial for your clients to do so the tan doesn’t apply patchy.
- Moisturise Dry Areas
Advise your clients to use a light moisturiser to hydrate areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, and ankles the night before the appointment. Advise your clients to completely avoid using moisturiser or oils on the day of their spray tan.
- Hair Removal
Have your clients wax or shave at least 24 hours prior to their spray tan to prevent irritation or blocked pores, which can lead to uneven results.
- Skip The Beauty Routine
On the day of your client's appointment, ensure your clients come with clean, product-free skin, such as wearing no deodorant, makeup, perfume, or moisturiser, as these can create barriers to the tan.
Top Tips For Your Clients Spray Tan Session
Once your client has arrived at their appointment, guide them through a seamless spray tanning experience:
- What to wear: Encourage clients to wear loose, dark clothing to avoid rubbing off the tan post-application.
- Prep barrier creams: Apply barrier cream to areas like the palms, soles, nails and other dry spots to avoid over-development of the tan.
- Discuss their desired shade: Chat with your clients about their tanning goals, whether they want to achieve a subtle glow or a deep bronze. Tailor the spray tan to match their preferences and the occasion!
Spray Tan Aftercare
Help your clients maintain their sun-kissed look with these spray tan aftercare tips.
- Taking their post-spray tan shower: Have your clients avoid showering for at least 8 hours.
- Moisturise daily: Hydration is key to prolonging your client's tan! Encourage clients to use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser daily to prevent fading and patchiness.
- Avoid using exfoliants: While exfoliating before a tan is essential, it’s a no-go post-spray tan. Remind clients to skip the harsh scrubs until they’re ready to fully remove their tan.
