Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the FAQ page of The Bronzed Babe. Here you will find answers to common questions about our spray tanning services. Whether you're curious about our process, pricing, or aftercare tips, we've got you covered.

What is a full body spray tan?

A full body spray tan includes the application of our tanning solution to your entire body for an all-over bronzed look.

 

What do I wear to tan?

For the actual tan, it is up to you! Whatever you feel best in! Bikini, panties and a strapless bra, just a small pair of panties, or even nude.

 

Do you have any pre-tanning recommendations?

  • Complete waxing, pedicures, facials, and hair appointments at least 24 hours before your tan.

  • Shave and exfoliate 24 hours in advance using a scrub to remove dead skin and help your tan last longer. Avoid shaving right before your appointment.

  • Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotion, perfume, or deodorant, as these can interfere with the tan and cause streaks or discoloration. Don't moisturize the day of.

  • Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and flip flops after your session. Avoid tight clothing for at least 5 hours. Going braless and wearing long sleeves and pants is ideal.

  • If wearing underwear during the tan, choose black, as lighter colors may stain

 

 

Can I shower immediately after my spray tan?

We recommend waiting at little as 2-8 hours before showering with just water to allow the tan to fully develop. Normally 5-6 hours is best; however, the longer you wait the dark you be. Best practice is to wait 12-24 hours before using any soap & shampoo.

 

Do you offer group discounts for spray tanning?

Yes, we provide special rates for group bookings of 10 or more people.

 

What sets The Bronzed Babe apart from other spray tanning salons?

What do I do if I need to cancel?

Thats okay it happens try to be respectful of my time and do so with a 24-hour notice. 

What products ruins spray tans?

 Dove soap and Dove products PRIOR to your tan, Hair removing lotions, AEROSOL sunscreens, Anti-aging products or AHA’s Beta Hydroxyl Acids, Bandaid/ tape adhesives, Retin-A type products (Retin-A, Renova, Tazorac, Tretinoin), Toners containing alcohols or witch hazel, Anti-acne products (Accutane, salicylic acid), Facial masks and scrubs, Pore cleansing facial strips, Wax products, Bleach products for body hair, Hot tubs, chlorine and salt water, Bug sprays & Perfume – try to spray your clothes. 

 

How long does a spray tan last?

Typically, a spray tan can last 5-7 days with proper care and maintenance. That is not a guarantee. Remember this is a partnership you have to care for it post spray tan.

 

How should I maintain my spray tan?

  • It's normal to see color rinse off during your first shower — that's just the bronzer. Your actual tan will continue to develop after.

  • Avoid sweating, washing hands excessively, or rubbing your skin before your first shower to prevent streaking.

  • Shower at the time recommended by your tanning consultant. Use a gentle body wash or shower gel, not bar soap.

  • Moisturize daily with an alcohol-free lotion to keep your skin hydrated and extend your tan. Dry skin causes uneven fading.

  • Avoid exfoliating, waxing, shaving, and harsh scrubs to keep your tan intact.

  • When showering, use your hands instead of a washcloth to avoid rubbing off the tan.

  • Avoid long hot baths, pools, and hot tubs — these speed up exfoliation and cause your tan to fade.

  • If swimming or soaking, apply waterproof sunscreen to help protect your tan.

  • Products with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) will cause your tan to fade faster — avoid them while your tan is on
