Welcome to Your Perfect Spray Tan Experience
At Whiskey Tanning, we proudly welcome clients of all ages, sizes, skin tones, and genders. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and radiant in their skin. Each spray tan begins with a personalized consultation where we discuss your desired goals, ensuring we select the perfect spray solution customized just for you.
After the consultation, you can dress down to your comfort level, and we’ll guide you through every step of the process to ensure you get the perfect, even tan. We start by applying a barrier cream to your fingernails, toenails, and the palms of your hands to protect them from unwanted color. Then, we walk you through every position and movement needed to ensure a flawless application.
As we near the end of your session, we pay extra attention to blending hairlines for a seamless, natural look. We finish with a light dusting of finishing powder to set your tan, leaving you with a smooth, even glow that complements your unique beauty.

Spray Tan Preparation Instructions
​
To achieve the best results from your spray tan and ensure a long-lasting, even glow, follow these essential preparation steps:
-
Exfoliate:
-
Gently exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment to remove any dead skin cells. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Avoid oil-based exfoliants, as they can create a barrier to the tan.
-
-
Shave or Wax:
-
If you plan to shave or wax, do so at least 24-48 hours before your session. This allows your pores to close, preventing the tan from settling into them and creating dark spots.
-
-
Avoid Lotions, Oils, and Deodorants:
-
On the day of your spray tan, avoid applying any lotions, oils, deodorants, or makeup, as they can interfere with the absorption of the tanning solution. Come to your appointment with clean, dry skin.
-
-
Wear Loose, Dark Clothing:
-
After your spray tan, wear loose, dark clothing to avoid any staining or rubbing that can cause streaks. Flip-flops or loose-fitting sandals are ideal to protect your feet while ensuring your tan sets properly.
-
-
Stay Dry After Application:
-
Avoid getting wet, sweating, or showering for at least 8-10 hours after your tan to give the solution time to develop. If possible, wait the recommended full time before your first rinse for maximum results. avoid the gym, swimming, or any activities that may cause you to perspire. Give your body 2 days before an event like a wedding or photographed event to adjust to the tan to ensure your skin glows in the spotlight.
-
By following these simple steps, you'll be sure to get the most out of your spray tan, leaving you with a natural, sun-kissed glow!

Spray Tan Aftercare Instructions
​
To maintain your beautiful spray tan and ensure it lasts as long as possible, follow these key aftercare steps:
-
First Shower:
-
Wait at least 8-10 hours before showering for the first time. When you do, rinse with lukewarm water only—avoid soap, scrubbing, or exfoliating. It's normal to see 90% of the bronzer wash away during the first rinse; your tan is still developing underneath.
-
-
Moisturize Daily:
-
Keeping your skin hydrated is essential for extending the life of your tan. Apply a hydrating, oil-free lotion daily, especially after showering, to prevent dryness and ensure an even fade.
-
-
Avoid Harsh Products:
-
Steer clear of products containing alcohol, sulfates, or acids (such as alpha-hydroxy acids), as they can strip the tan and cause it to fade prematurely. opt for gentle, moisturizing cleansers and avoid exfoliating until you’re ready for your next tan.
-
-
Pat, Don’t Rub:
-
After showering, gently pat your skin dry with a towel rather than rubbing, which can remove your tan or cause streaking.
-
-
Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure:
-
Excessive swimming, especially in chlorinated pools or salt water, can speed up the fading process. If you plan to swim, apply a waterproof sunscreen to help protect your tan.
-
-
Stay Hydrated:
-
Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin hydrated from the inside out, which helps preserve the tan’s appearance and glow.
-
-
Touch-ups:
-
If you notice any fading or uneven areas, use a gradual self-tanning lotion or bronzing powder to maintain your glow between appointments.
-
Things to Avoid!!!
Avoid spray sunscreens. They’ll strip the color completely. Use only STS sunscreens to extend the life of your tan. Cream-based are best!
