To ensure your Liquid Sunshine airbrush spray tan in Los Gatos develops beautifully, proper skin preparation is essential. Following these simple steps will help your tan apply evenly and fade naturally.
Skin Preparation
Exfoliate your entire body at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment using an exfoliating mitt or washcloth. Pay extra attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, hands, and ankles.
If you have self-tanner or a previous spray tan, it should be fully exfoliated off before your appointment to ensure an even, natural-looking result.
Proper preparation allows your custom airbrush spray tan to apply smoothly and develop evenly.
Hair Removal & Beauty Treatments
Please complete the following at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment:
• Shaving
• Waxing
• Brow waxing or threading
• Manicures and pedicures
Facials should be completed at least one week before your spray tan, as these treatments can affect how the color develops on the skin.
The Day of Your Appointment
Please arrive at your Liquid Sunshine spray tan appointment with clean, dry skin free of products.
Avoid applying:
• Lotions or moisturizers
• Body oils
• Makeup
• Deodorant
• Perfume
These products can create a barrier on the skin and may interfere with the even application of your airbrush spray tan.
What to Wear
We recommend arriving in loose, dark clothing to wear home after your spray tan.
Please plan to wear:
• Loose clothing with no tight waistbands
• No tight ankle bands or leggings
• Open footwear such as sandals or slides
• No socks
You will need to leave the studio without a bra, as bra straps can create pressure marks on freshly sprayed skin.
Loose dresses, oversized tops, or comfortable lounge-style clothing tend to work best.
Important Notes
- For the most natural results, please ensure any previous spray tan is fully removed before your appointment.
- Hormonal changes or certain medications may affect how your spray tan develops or fades.
