Spray Tan Pre-Care

To get the most flawless, long-lasting glow from your Copper State Glow tan, a little prep goes a long way! Follow these simple steps before your appointment for smooth, even, sun-kissed skin.

1. Exfoliate Thoroughly

Gently exfoliate your entire body using a sugar scrub, exfoliating mitt, or dry brush. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists. This removes dead skin cells and creates a smooth base for your tan.

2. Shave or Wax Early

If you plan to shave or wax, do it at least 24 hours before your spray tan. This allows your pores time to close and helps avoid a dotted or uneven appearance.

3. Moisturize Smart

Hydrate your skin in the days leading up to your appointment, but skip heavy lotions the day of your tan.

1. Come Clean & Product-Free

Shower, but do not apply any lotions, oils, deodorants, perfumes, or makeup. These can block the tanning solution and cause streaking or patchiness.

2. Dress for the Glow

Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and flip-flops or slides to your appointment. Tight clothes can rub off the tan before it sets.

3. Be Weather-Wise

If it’s rainy or humid, bring an umbrella and avoid getting wet after your appointment until your tan has fully developed.

Remove jewelry before your appointment

Pull hair up and off the neck/shoulders

Plan your appointment 1–2 days before your event or vacation for peak glow
