Why Clients Love Custom Spray Tanning

Many guests want that just-back-from-vacation glow, but without the risks of UV exposure, sunburns, or premature aging. Spray tanning offers a sunless, controlled way to deepen your color, smooth out the look of minor imperfections, and enhance muscle definition or curves. Whether you’re prepping for a wedding, photoshoot, vacation, or simply want to look a little more radiant every day, a professional spray tan can give you immediate, visible results that feel polished and confidence-boosting.

How Spray Tanning Works

DHA-Based Sunless Color, Custom-Mixed for Your Skin

Spray tanning is a sunless method of bronzing the skin that uses a fine mist of solution containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a sugar-derived compound. When DHA is applied to the outermost layer of your skin, it reacts with proteins in the surface cells to create a temporary tan. Because the color develops only in the top layer of skin, it gradually fades over several days as those cells naturally shed. At ComplexionsRx, your esthetician chooses the right shade and undertone to complement your complexion, so the result looks believable—not orange or streaky.

Why Our Spray Tans Look So Natural

At ComplexionsRx, your spray tan is applied by a trained esthetician—not an automated booth—so your color is custom, even, and flattering to your features. Before every session, your provider evaluates your skin tone, listens to your goals, and helps you select the depth and undertone that best suits your look, from soft and subtle to bold and bronzy. During your treatment, you’ll stand in a protective spray tent while your esthetician manually airbrushes the solution in controlled passes. A barrier cream is applied to drier areas like elbows, knees, hands, and feet to prevent over-darkening. You’ll be guided through each turn and pose, and then asked to remain still while the solution dries so your tan sets smoothly and evenly.

What to Expect Before, During & After Your Spray Tan

Great spray tans are a combination of expert technique and good preparation. Here’s how to get the most out of your visit, from exfoliating before your appointment to caring for your glow at home.

Before Your Appointment

Exfoliate: Begin gently exfoliating 3–5 days before your session to remove dead skin cells for a smoother, longer-lasting tan.
Hair Removal: Shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to your spray tan to prevent irritation and uneven color.
Clean Skin: Shower before your appointment and arrive with completely clean skin—no lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume, or makeup on the areas to be tanned.
Clothing: Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and sandals or loose shoes to avoid rubbing off fresh solution and creating streaks.

During Your Spray Tan

Consultation: Your esthetician will assess your skin tone, discuss your desired depth of color, and select the best solution for you.
Patch Test (If Needed): For sensitive skin, a small test area may be treated first.
Application: You’ll stand in a protective spray tent while the esthetician manually airbrushes the solution in even passes for full, uniform coverage.
Barrier Cream: A protective cream is applied to dry areas like elbows, knees, hands, and feet to prevent overdevelopment.
Dry Time: You’ll remain standing still while the solution dries before getting dressed to help prevent smudging.

After Your Spray Tan

Avoid Water & Sweat: Do not shower, swim, or sweat heavily for at least 2–8 hours, depending on the solution and instructions provided.
First Shower: When it’s time to rinse, use lukewarm water and a mild, oil-free body wash. Avoid scrubbing or using loofahs.
Moisturize Daily: Hydrated skin holds a tan longer. Apply a regular (non–oil-based) moisturizer daily once your tan has fully developed.
Avoid Harsh Products: Skip bar soaps, exfoliants, and alcohol-based products, which can cause your tan to fade more quickly or unevenly.
Long-Term Care: As your tan fades, you can gently exfoliate before your next appointment to ensure an even, fresh application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my spray tan last?

Most spray tans last about 5–7 days, gradually fading as the outer layer of your skin naturally sheds. Proper prep, gentle cleansing, and daily moisturizing can help extend the life of your tan. If you love being bronzed year-round, your esthetician can recommend a repeat schedule that fits your lifestyle.

When can I shower after my spray tan?

You should avoid water, sweating, or heavy moisture for at least 2–8 hours after your appointment, depending on the specific solution used and your provider’s instructions. Rinsing too early can stop the color from fully developing. Your esthetician will let you know your exact rinse window before you leave.

What should I wear to my appointment and afterward?

On the day of your spray tan, choose dark, loose-fitting clothing and shoes that won’t rub against your skin. After your tan, continue wearing softer, looser fabrics while your color is developing to help prevent streaks or friction marks. Avoid tight waistbands, bras, or straps that may press into freshly tanned areas.

Will the spray tan stain my clothes or sheets?

A small amount of cosmetic bronzer may transfer to clothing or bedding while your tan is developing, especially if you sweat or wear lighter fabrics. This usually washes out of most fabrics, but we recommend wearing darker, looser clothing and using darker sheets on the first night just in case.

Is spray tanning safe for sensitive skin or during pregnancy?

Spray tanning is designed to color only the outer layer of the skin, and DHA has been widely used in sunless tanning for many years. However, if you have very sensitive skin, allergies, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s always best to speak with your healthcare provider before treatment. We can perform a small patch test in advance to check your skin’s response and adjust your options accordingly.

How should I prepare if my skin is very dry or fair?

If your skin is dry, start moisturizing regularly in the week leading up to your appointment, focusing on areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Exfoliate gently 3–5 days before your tan and avoid heavy oils or occlusive products on the day of your visit. If you’re very fair, your esthetician can recommend a lighter, more gradual shade for a natural result that won’t feel too drastic on your first visit.
