Spray Tanning
Spray Tans
Spray Tans are always the perfect pick-me-up.
In Manchester we don’t get a lot of sun, so having a spray tan will instantly give you that summer glow without the risky sunbeds or streaky home tans.
Sam has been spray tanning since it came out (see MEN article!) and has even spray tanned on X Factor back in 2004.
Our tans are truly flawless and a lot of care goes into the prep and aftercare before you leave.
We can give you a light, sun-kissed glow through to 2 weeks in the Caribbean!
Our clinic is privately situated in Blue Tower in MediaCity so you can come in comfies and not have to walk through a busy town.
Pre Spray Tan Care
The Night Before:
Exfoliate the evening before your tan paying special attention to elbows, knees, heels, and hands and moisturise
Gently exfoliate again in the morning and either leave skin bare or lightly moisturise dry areas
Wax or shave at least 24 hours before the spray tan
On The Day:
Don’t moisturize with anything oily before your spray tan
Hydration will help the longevity of your tan so drink lots of water! Remove make up and jewellery for your appointment, unless you want any tan lines.
Wear loose dark clothing and if you can avoid wearing anything that rubs (ie a bra or socks)
If it is likely to rain please bring long sleeves, closed shoes and a brolly!
For your tan you can wear anything, down to nothing. We welcome every shape, size and body. Tan will wash out of most fabrics.
Treat yourself to a spray tan!
When you look great, you feel great. And what makes you feel better than the feeling of glowing from a fresh tan?
Post Spray Tan Care
To maintain your tan please follow below:
Leave the tan on for the directed time.
Holidays will shorten the life due to swimming and sun creams.
Tan breaks down quicker with:
Baths
Oily Products
Excessive sweating
Top up every 4 days with a gradual tan and gently exfoliate before applying to keep skin looking fresh.
Moisturise daily with a body lotion.
Wear loose dark clothing the rest of the day or night (remove bra, socks and clothing that rubs)
Don’t come into contact with liquid, ie, washing dishes, rain, careful when drinking etc
Don’t shower or bathe for 1, 2 or 3 hours (it can take 24 hours for the tan fully develop)
Don’t exercise or sweat excessively, it could influence the development
Don’t get in contact with light coloured leather until you’ve showered - it may transfer and stain
Gently exfoliate on dry/rough areas like knees, heels and elbows
Don’t touch other areas of the skin, ie palms of hands on legs during the development time.
