General Tips

Do waxing/shaving 48 hours prior to your spray tan to prevent build up on the legs.

Exfoliate your whole body a day before your spray tan tan. Focus on areas such as knees, elbows, feet, and ankles and décolletage area, this declacarge area is the most common area to get build up.

If possible, please have a shower the morning of your spray tan or before your spray tan technician comes to you. Just allow time for your body temperature to come down so your tan can dry fast on application. Remove deodorant and moisturiser before spray tan along with make-up if you wish to have your face done.

Do not be shy. Spray tanners have seen it all. The less you wear, the better the results. If you feel more comfortable wearing your underwear, do that. Otherwise you can use our disposable panties that we provide.

Wait at least 2 hours before showering if you choose the Naked Tan 2 hour Wash n Wear or 4-6 hours with Bonza Bronze.

Please note, if you are not used to being spray tanned you will look darker DO NOT PANIC!!! This is just the Bronzer. Once you shower you will notice allot of colour wash off it is okay it is only the Bronzer not your tanning solution when you first shower.

When in the shower do not scrub your skin. Have a quick warm shower to remove the Bronzer, do not use a loofah or soap for your first shower. When drying, pat your skin rather than rub it.

Keep your body moisturised over the next ten days. It will help to keep your skin hydrated so that patchiness is reduced as your tan fades. Do not use a heavy moisturiser such as Sorbelene as it is to thick and will remove the tan use a light moisturiser, ask you technician what she feels is the best!!

Wear loose clothe after spray tan. A large singlet is prefable DO NOT WEAR TIGHT CLOTHING!!!!! As it will mark your spray tan.

Before Spray Tan

Exfoliate beforehand, if possible.The more you exfoliate the better the tan will sit on your skin and no build up will happen.

Waxing/ shaving should be done at least 2 day prior to tan.

Remove clothing, jewellery.

After Spray Tan

Moisturise your whole body well after every shower.

Do not wax or shave straight afterwards as you will get lines.

FAQ's

1. Will my spray tan go orange?

Absolutely not! I always do a colour match to your skin. The only reason you will go orange is that you have left the solution on to long or the solution is not acceptable to your skin type.

2. I have sensitive skin, can I still be sprayed?

If your client has eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis it’s best to patch test the skin. If the skin has no reaction the spray tan may go ahead within the 24 hours.

3. How long will my spray tan last?

The colour lasts up to 10 days and naturally removes the dead skin cells. I suggest to keep your skin well moisturised Naked Tans Organic crème de la crème. For a longer lasting tan, apply the Goddess Bronze (self tanner) and daily the gradual tan Naked Tan Goddess Glaze.

4. I have splashed water on my tan within the 2HR timeframe/I have rubbed some of my tan off within the 2HR timeframe. What should I do? Blend the tan with a small amount of Naked Tans Crème de la Crème. Once the tan has developed and they have washed the bronzer off, their tan should be fine. This will only work on small areas. A larger area will need to be re-sprayed.

5. I'm pregnant or breastfeeding can I be sprayed?

Testing has shown that DHA does not penetrate the skin, nor enter the blood stream. Therefore, it appears safe to spray pregnant women. However, as a precaution we suggest clients who are pregnant seek Medical Approval from their doctor. For women who are breastfeeding, inform that they should ensure their nipples are wiped over before breastfeeding or better still, place small make-up pads over the nipple area during spray tan.

6. During my shower, I have noticed some colour washing away?This is fine and completely normal. The excess colour that is washing away is the bronzer not your spray tan.

7. How often should I moisturise after being spray tanned?The more the better! We advise moisturising once a day in summer, twice a day in winter months. This will help your tan to fade evenly while keeping their skin well nourished.

8. Can I shave my legs/body parts before or after the tan application? We advise our clients that they should wax at least 12 hours prior to their spray tan doing this allows the pores on their skin to close up so there is less chance of black spots in the pores.

9. Will spray tan solution stain my clothes? What should I wear after my tanning session?We suggest cotton fabrics as the bronzer will wash out easily from cotton. Anything synthetic such as silk or rayon will need to be taken to the dry cleaners for the spray tan to be removed. Also, the clothing should be loose. Females should go braless if possible immediately after their spray to avoid a bra rubbing against the skin and removing the tan.

10. Can I wear make-up when tanning? Yes! Wearing make-up is fine; however we suggest to our clients that they should not wash their face for the first 2 hours after their tan as water stops the development process. We suggest clients apply the make-up before the tanning session and have a light spray over the face. It should be noted that make-up will act as a barrier so if clients wear make-up it is likely that the tan on their face will be slightly lighter than on the rest of their body.

11. What home care products can I purchase to prolong my tan? Naked Tan offers an Organic retail range and DIY tanning products. The Crème de la Crème is to be used at least once a day to moisturise the skin and keep the skin hydrated. The Body cleanser is to cleanse your body after the spray tan. The Body Polish exfoliate your skin prior to the spray tan. The Goddess Glaze is a gradual tan to extend the longevity of your tan. The Goddess Bronze is a self tanner, wash ‘n’ wear in 2 hours with 8% of DHA. The Goddess Shimmer will illuminate your skin with the Natural shimmer of Mica.

12. How long does a spray tan take?

A tan is complete within 10-15 minutes!

13. Does Naked Tan's solution contain any harmful chemicals.

Naked Tan tanning solution is natural, it contains no harsh chemicals, NO PARABENS and NO ALCOHOL. You can feel confident you are being cared for when using Naked Tan.
