FAQs & Care

Pre-Tan Care

  • NO self-tan, exfoliate all previous tan, perfume, deodorant, creams, or aromatherapy oils.
  • NO makeup (no worries, you won't need any after your tan - your skin will glow!)
  • Remove all jewelry, please and wear long hair up off the shoulders.
  • Please wax and shave at least 10 - 24 hours before the treatment. Nails and eyelashes should be done before your tan also. The small amount of solution on your face will NOT affect eyelash extensions.
  • The evening or morning before your treatment, Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate your entire body. DO NOT USE OIL Exfoliants before your tan as they will leave a residue on your skin! A washcloth works fine, or use our Golden XS Exfoliate made especially for spray tans. Pay special attention to your body's dry areas such as hands, elbows, knees, and feet.
  • Decide which bathing suit you wish to wear - dark color or black is best. The majority of clients wear a thong and go topless. You are free to wear as much or as little as you are comfortable with. NO TAN lines are fine with us! Please be aware that all MALE clients must wear underwear or a bathing suit for the appointment.
  • Our tans dry instantly, so no wait time on getting dressed. Non-tacky and fragrance-free. That means no yucky tan smell! Yeah!
  • Wear dark loose clothing after the tan is applied and avoid wearing a bra for the first couple of hours if possible. NO JEANS or socks, please. Wear flip flops or looser shoes if possible.
  • NO TIME? Our amazing Golden Finishing Powder allows you to tan and go! Leaves your skin feeling fresh and silky while protecing your developing tan. Go ahead - wear your cute white outfit without any worries.

Post Tan Care

Do not shower or bathe for a minimum of 6-8 hrs after your treatment.

For your FIRST shower - please use a warm water rinse ONLY. NO soaps or shampoos. Pat skin dry gently after every shower.

If you had our GOLDEN EXPRESS TAN - you may shower after only 2hrs! Or keep it on longer to get a deeper, darker tan.

Do not participate in any activity which may cause perspiration for at least 24 hours after the treatment. That's right - no dishwashing, at least for the first few hours. YEAH!

After the first shower, it's important to MOISTURE, please wait a full 24hrs AFTER your initial tan appointment before you apply moisturizer to allow the tan to build back up again (darker).  Keep your skin well hydrated. Your tan will last for as long as your skin takes to exfoliate naturally. So if you keep your skin moisturized, your tan will, of course, last longer. Moisturizing also helps your tan fade nicely too.

Wear your sunscreen!  It's a great moisturizer too.
