FAQ: Can I shave when I have a spray tan?
One common question we receive from new spray tan clients is, "Can I shave when I have a spray tan?" All shaving and waxing is a form of exfoliation, and exfoliating spray tanned skin can remove the bronzed skin cells. So, it is best to exfoliate and shave at least eight hours prior to spray tanning, and then limiting your shaving after the spray tan has been applied. To get the most spray-tan-friendly shave possible, make sure to use a clean, new razor with a shaving cream or … [Read more...]

How to Clean Your Airbrush Spray Tan Guns
Cleaning your airbrush spray tan guns is easy! I rinse my guns with water after every spray tan until the spray runs clear, and then about once a week I'll give my guns a Windex Bath, which is a tip that I got from one of my manufacturers. Simply soak your guns in a bowl full of Windex for about an hour, then take them out and let them air dry. It keeps the gun clean and polished, keeps the needle working smoothly, and I feel it even makes the airbrushes last longer! Watch below! … [Read more...]

How To Choose The Right Foundation Shade for a Spray Tan
It's such a treat to keep a year-round, natural looking tan! EVERYTHING looks better against bronzed skin. But what do we do about matching our skin tone to our makeup in between spray tan appointments? 1. When you hit the makeup counter, try to visit about 4-5 days after receiving a fresh spray tan. 2. Select foundation one shade darker than your natural skin tone (most faces don't require any foundation at all with a good spray tan.) 3. Then, use a bronzing powder to contour, and … [Read more...]
Spray Tan Contouring: Best Applied Before Or After A Spray Tan?
One question I get asked a lot by other artists is WHEN to apply contouring - before or after a spray tan? Both options will get the job done, but it's really the artist's preference which method they prefer. Here's why I prefer to contour my clients AFTER I apply their base tan: IT'S EASIER: Tanned skin makes the client's natural definition more prominent, and easier for me to see. FREEDOM: After a few minutes, I like to see how the base tan's tanning solution is developing, and … [Read more...]
