A beautifully even sunless tan begins with thoughtful preparation. Knowing what to wear, when to rinse, and which products to set aside can make your appointment feel more relaxed. Use this guide to plan your visit, then follow the personalized instructions provided for the solution used at your appointment.
Prepare your skin
Exfoliate before your appointment with an appropriate oil-free product, paying attention to dry areas. Coordinate shaving or waxing in advance rather than leaving hair removal until the last moment. Arrive with clean skin and follow your provider’s guidance about removing makeup, deodorant, fragrance, and lotions that could interfere with an even application.
Choose comfortable clothing
Have dark, loose-fitting clothing ready for after your treatment. Tight straps, waistbands, and footwear can create friction while a tan is developing. Choose an outfit that is easy to put on without rubbing your freshly treated skin.
Follow your individual rinse time
There is no single rinse schedule for every spray-tan solution. Ask when to rinse and how to approach the first shower. Before that time, avoid activities that wet the skin or cause sweating. Do not shorten or extend the recommended development period based on instructions for a different product.
Care for your glow
After your first rinse, follow your provider’s moisturizing guidance. Gentle cleansing and avoiding abrasive exfoliation help support an even fade. The visible result and duration vary with your skin, preparation, chosen solution, and daily routine.
Plan a mobile appointment
For your Austin Lashes visit, please prepare a clean space and share access or parking instructions ahead of time. We bring the professional supplies needed for your service and discuss your preferred depth of color before beginning. Your appointment is an opportunity to pause and receive personalized care, with preparation details settled in advance.
Preparing for a special occasion
Tell us the date of your celebration, the timing of any other beauty treatments, and whether you have had a professional spray tan before. This allows us to discuss a suitable appointment plan without assuming the same schedule works for every client. If you are considering a new look, raise that during your consultation so your preferences are clear.
