It depends on the brand used/your natural skin tone/how your skin 'takes' to a tan.ġ3. As it's your first time it's probably best not to make big plans for the rest of the day – chances are, you'll look totally fine but you may want to go home and hide.

Apply perfume to your clothes, not your skin, if you want to disguise it.ġ2. You may smell a little bit like malty biscuits but it's nothing like as potent as fake tan used to be. Don't freak out! When you go about your day you should pass for looking like you've upped the ante on the bronzer, not like you've been dipped in Ronseal.ġ1. Most formulas nowadays aren't too funky-looking before the wash-off, however the guide colour of your tan will probably appear darker than the finished result. if it's a 10-day holiday you may want to go a deeper shade so it lasts longer, or if it's for a wedding the very next day, you may want to stay lighter so it looks as natural as possible in pictures.ġ0. It also helps for them to know the occasion your spray tan is for, i.e. This is your chance to explain what you like you could reference a celeb or show them a picture of how you tan on holiday. The therapist should ask you "how deep" you want to go. Next, a hair net or turban – to protect your locks (keep your ears out, no matter how silly you feel.) Finally, sticky feet for you to step onto – they help to avoid getting fake tan on your soles. Firstly, disposable pants (or a thong – in which case make sure you get it on the right way round!), which you can wear home for ease. Remove all jewellery and get to grips with the accessories provided.ģ. You can keep your knickers on if you wish, but if you do, we'd recommend opting for something minimal, like a thong, as you'll be left with white patches underneath. While the therapist waits for you outside the room, get completely undressed. Also use them to remove any deodorant, which may act as a barrier to the fake tan formula.Ģ. It's best to turn up foundation-free, or you can remove your makeup there, as most salons will provide face wipes. Read on to be enlightened before you go glow.ġ. There are a few things that are very handy to know, though – like what the heck those sticky feet are for. If you've never got butt-naked in front of a stranger so they can spray your entire body with a cold brown liquid, don't worry - it's not as horrendous as you'd think.
