General Spray tan questions

  • How long does the spray tan last?

    The tan will typically last 7 to 10 days. To maximize its longevity, we recommend exfoliating and moisturizing before your appointment (at least 3-4 hours before - ideally 24 hours before).

    Aftercare is also crucial—avoid activities that may cause excessive sweating or contact with water for at least 24 hours after the session so the tan has time to develop and sink in uninterrupted.

  • The short answer is no, your tan should not stain your clothing or bed sheets but it may transfer prior to your first shower.

  • Orange? Not at Slater.

    All of our spray tans are fully customized to your skin tone and desired glow, so you get a natural, sun-kissed bronze—never an orange tint. We use only high-quality solutions and tailor every tan to ensure a flawless, beachy finish every time.

    If you have eczema, psoriasis, or another skin condition, spray tanning is still possible—as long as there’s no active flare-up or broken skin on the areas being tanned. We recommend applying a fragrance-free lotion to those areas a few hours before your appointment, and feel free to bring it with you for touch-ups.

  • Yes—but always check with your doctor first.

    At Slater, we use high-quality, water-based spray tan solutions made with clean, skin-safe ingredients. Many expectant clients choose to spray tan during pregnancy for a safe, sunless glow. That said, we always recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before booking, especially during the first trimester.

  • Yes—but your spray tan doesn’t protect you from the sun!

    Remember, the only safe tan is a sunless one. Your spray tan is not a “base tan,” so always apply broad-spectrum SPF before heading outside. For best results, choose a lotion-based, hydrating SPF—sprays and oils can cause uneven fading or streaking.

    Glow smart, stay protected, and reapply often.

Spray tan Pre-care

    • Schedule your other appointments first. Time your waxing or laser hair removal appointments for two days prior to your spray tanning appointment. If you shave, do so AT LEAST 3-4 hours prior. Shaving and exfoliation (your prep) 12-24 hours before is IDEAL. Waxing should be 2-3 days before.

    • Make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your skin from the inside out in the days leading up to your appointment (drink lots of water and lather on that moisturizer). When we say exfoliate - please use a proper exfoliator mitt you can purchase on amazon or in studio- dry brush/loofah/scrub is not enough.

    • Arrive to your appointment clean at your appointment without any deodorant/perfume/makeup or lotions. If you have dry skin you can moisturize your entire body 3-4 hours (at least) before your appointment. Even if you don’t have dry skin and want to moisturize your body beforehand to not feel dry you can do so as long as it’s at least 3-4 hours beforehand.

    • Please stop using retinol, glycolic and active serums 7-10 days prior to your tan. Vitamin C can be used but not right before your appointment or the day of.

    • If you have had microneedling within 2-3 weeks, do not get a spray tan. It will be patchy and can cause an infection. After you get spray tanned, wait at least 10 days to get microneedling done.

  • Heading on vacation?
    We recommend booking your spray tan the day before you leave to keep your glow as fresh as possible for the trip. The closer to takeoff, the better!

    Have a wedding or special event?
    Schedule your spray tan 1–3 days before the big day—2 days prior is ideal for the best colour payoff and natural fade. Remember: your tan needs 2–12 hours to develop before showering, depending on the solution used, so be sure to plan around that timing.

    • Please wear loose, dark clothing to change into after your appointment while your spray tan develops and bring SLIDES or CLOGS, or if its raining wear loose socks and rain boots.

    • Take off your jewelry before your appointment/ leave it at home.

Post spray tan care + maintenance

  • Want your Slater spray tan to last as long as possible? So do we!

    To keep your glow looking fresh:
    • Limit water exposure and heavy sweating in the first few days
    • Take quick, lukewarm showers
    • Use spray tan-safe products

    Pro tip: Invest in a gentle, fragrance-free, alcohol-free soap and lotion to help your tan fade evenly and stay flawless longer. The more hydrated your skin, the longer your tan lasts!

  • What Products Should I Avoid After a Spray Tan?
    To keep your spray tan looking flawless, it’s important to avoid certain ingredients that can cause patchiness or premature fading.

    Avoid the following after your tan:
    • Oils (like coconut, baby oil, or mineral oil)
    • Exfoliants or scrubs
    • Alcohol-based products (including some toners and hand sanitizers)
    • Fragrance-heavy lotions or body sprays
    • Retinol, AHAs/BHAs, and acne treatments on tanned areas

    Stick to gentle, hydrating, fragrance-free products to help your tan last longer and fade evenly.

  • For the best results, avoid heavy sweating or swimming for at least 8–12 hours after your spray tan to allow the color to fully develop and set. Excessive sweating or water exposure too soon can cause streaking or uneven fading.

    Once your tan has fully developed, feel free to enjoy your workouts and swims as usual! Just remember to pat your skin dry afterward and use spray tan-safe products to prolong your glow.
