If you’re planning to build a natural, golden base, starting early is key.

📅 When to Start:

2–4 weeks before prom


🔁 How Often to Tan:

  • 3x per week → to build color
  • 1x per week → to maintain an existing tan

Consistency is what gives you that even, natural-looking glow — not rushing it last minute.


💧 Skin Care = Everything

Your results depend just as much on your skin as your sessions.

To get the best color:

  • Use salon-quality tanning lotions during your sessions
  • Apply after-sun moisturizer at home daily
  • Keep your skin hydrated (inside & out) Drink your water!

👉 Hydrated skin = deeper color, longer-lasting results, and a smoother glow


✨ PROM SPRAY TAN TIMELINE

Spray tanning is perfect for that flawless, even, camera-ready finish — especially for prom.

🧪 Trial Session (Highly Recommended)

1–2 weeks before prom

This helps you:

  • See how the color develops on your skin
  • Decide how dark you want to go
  • Know when your glow looks BEST after showering

🌟 Final Spray Tan

24–72 hours before prom

Timing depends on your personal preference:

  • Some people love their color the day after rinsing
  • Others prefer it 2–3 days after

Your trial session will tell you what works best 👌


🚿 PRE-SPRAY TAN PREP (CRUCIAL)

This step makes or breaks your results.

Before your spray tan:

  • Shower, shave & exfoliate
    • Night before OR morning of
  • Do NOT apply:
    • Moisturizers
    • Oils
    • Perfumes

👉 These create a barrier and can cause uneven results


👕 AFTER YOUR SPRAY TAN

To protect and develop your color properly:

  • Wear loose-fitting clothing
  • Avoid sweating or getting wet
  • Wait at least 4–6 hours before showering
    • Most people wait 8–12 hours

⏳ Your tan will continue developing for up to 24 hours, getting deeper and richer over time


💡 PRO TIP: THE BEST PROM GLOW

Want next-level results?

👉 Combine both:

  • Build a base with tanning beds
  • Finish with a spray tan

This gives you:

  • More even color
  • Better depth
  • Longer-lasting glow

🚨 DON’T WAIT TOO LONG

Every year we see it…

People wait until the week of prom and run out of time to get the results they actually want.

Starting early = better color, less stress, and a way better outcome.
