FAQ

Spray tans are suitable for most people. It can be intimidating to stand almost naked in front of someone you have never met. You can rest easy at Madame' Tan, as we are a no judgment, 100% confidential spray tanning service. 
Over the years I have seen many body types. You are never too old, too pale, too tall, too short or too large to have a spray tan. All body types are welcome, I assure you that after your session you will feel more comfortable in your own skin. 
Please note that if you are under 16 you will need a parent to accompany you to your appointment.

WHAT IS A SPRAY TAN?

Spray tanning is the application of a solution onto the skin. The solutions contain DHA which reacts with your top layers of skin to change the colour and make you appear tanned.

The whole process takes around 20 mins. 

I strictly use rapid wear solutions so that you have the option to wash it off after minimum 2 hrs., although it can be left on for up to 8hrs.

After your have showered your tan will continue to develop over the next 8-24hrs.

​

HOW LONG WILL MY SPRAY TAN LAST?

You spray tan will last anywhere from 5-10 days, depending on how well you look after it. you will be given aftercare instructions following your session. Your skin will naturally shed on its own and as your skin sheds so does your tan. Tan extenders can be purchased to prolong the life of your tan.

WILL MY SPRAY TAN PROTECT ME FROM THE SUN?

No. Spray tan solutions have absolutely no SPF in them. You still need to apply suitable sunscreen if you are planning to expose your skin to the sun.

WHAT DO I DO BEFORE MY TAN SESSION?

Before your session you have to prep your skin first.

12-24hrs before your tan:

- Exfoliate all the dead skin cells off using a quality body scrub or exfoliating mitts

- Remove all unwanted hair. (Shave,Wax, Hair removal cream, threading.) you will not be able to do this for at least 2 days after your tan otherwise it will remove your tan.

- DO NOT SHOWER within 4 hours of your session, otherwise you run the risk of the tan not developing and undesirable results.

​

Before your session: Remove all makeup, deodorant, jewelry, moisturizers, perfumes, etc. Do not apply anything to your skin before your session. 

WHAT DO I WEAR?

Before and after your tan, wear something dark, loose/baggy. Wearing tight clothes will create unwanted lines and ultimately ruin your tan.
During your tan you have a few options:
1. You may go completely naked.
2. You may wear bottoms (underwear, gstring, shorts, bikini bottoms), I can also provide you with a disposable gstring you can wear.
3. You may wear a bra (preferably strapless) or nipple pasties & bottoms. 
Please remember tan lines may be present and consider what clothing you might be wearing for your event.

PATCHINESSS

After roughly a week the top most layers of your skin will naturally become dead cells, therefore your tan will now start to fade and may become patchy, to combat the dead skin cells it is best to moisturise your skin daily to keep it hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will also contribute to keeping your skin hydrated.
