Spray Tanning
Be sure to familiarise yourself with the following guides below to ensure you give your spray tanning service the very best chance of success.
Current Availability & Pricing
I’m now offering in-clinic appointments for all tanning and sculpting services.
You can visit me at the Maroochydore clinic every Thursday and Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for both Spray Tanning and Body Sculpting treatments.
PRE-TAN PREPARATION
-
HAIR REMOVAL
Waxing is best done minimum 48hrs prior to ensure all residue is off the skin. Shaving is best done 12-24hrs prior to your appointment to allow pores to settle and reduce the chance of ‘black dots’ forming.
-
EXFOLIATION
Exfoliating is best done 12-24 hours prior or the night before to allow pores to settle before your appointment using our Tan Exfoliating Mitt. If you have old tan on we highly recommend combining this with our Gel Tan Remover.
-
SKIN PREP
Please have clean skin free from deodorant, makeup, moisturiser or perfume. Do not use any body/face washes or lotions that contain SLS, fragrances or mineral oils as this can affect the result, just as washing hair directly before is also a big no no.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
-
WHAT TO WEAR
Loose cotton type clothing to wear after – no silk or satin as these fabrics absorb moisture. Any clothing you may prefer to wear whilst being sprayed – although we do provide disposable g strings free of charge.
-
CONSULT
Your fully trained technician will chat to you about what you are after in terms of colour. We perform a thorough consultation after reading your waiver form and will then choose the tan base colour based on your answers provided.
-
TIMEFRAME
We will arrive at the scheduled time and setup the tent and products. Then we will have our consultation. Your actual spray tan will take about 15mins. Allow 60mins for the entire session.
POST-TAN MAINTENANCE
-
WASHING IT OFF
No body wash or soap is to be used after the first initial shower, use your hands to thoroughly brush off the excess bronzer to ensure no streaks appear on the skin from the water stream. We recommend our Gentle Cleansing Body Wash.
-
MOISTURISE
No body moisturiser is to be applied until after your SECOND shower as the DHA needs to develop and this is best done with your skin free of any lotions. You will then need to moisturise after EVERY shower from this onwards, preferably using our Hydrating Body Moisturising.
-
SKINCARE
Avoid using strong skincare actives for the first 24hrs after your spray tan as this can affect the colour and result. Avoid using harsh exfoliants on the skin for the duration of your tan – this also includes massages and pedicures (boring I know!)
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best day to get a spray tan for an event?
We recommend 2 days prior so the bronzers are settled and full development has been reached.
How long do I need to leave my tan on for before showering?
Our bases are tailorable and are anywhere from 45 mins - 4hrs+. We assess in person and will determine a wash off time based on your skin type and request.
Are BBT products vegan & cruelty free?
Yes they sure are!
Where can I find the BBT ingredient list?
All ingredients can be found under the product on each page in our online store
Can I use BBT products when pregnant?
Absolutely, but we always ask you to check with your GP prior if unsure.
Where is BBT made?
BBT is proudly Australian made and owned.
How should I prepare for my spray tan?
For optimal results, exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment using a basic loofah or washcloth. Avoid heavy exfoliating oils, as they can leave residues that interfere with the tanning solution. Shave at least 12 hours prior to your session to prevent potential streaking caused by waxy shaving bars. Ensure your skin is free from lotions, oils, perfumes, and deodorants on the day of your tan. It's also advisable to schedule any manicures, pedicures, or waxing treatments before your tanning appointment.
When should I rinse off the tanning solution?
Our express Bella Bronze solution allows for a rinse time between 2 to 4 hours, depending on your desired depth of color. Use lukewarm water for a gentle rinse, avoiding soaps or body washes during this initial rinse. Gently use your hands to remove the bronzer, paying attention to areas like behind the arms and legs. Proper rinsing ensures an even, streak-free tan
How long will my tan last?
With proper care, your tan can last between 5 to 7 days. To prolong its longevity, moisturize your skin twice daily and stay hydrated. Avoid activities that can accelerate fading, such as swimming in chlorinated pools, prolonged soaking in hot tubs, or excessive sweating
Can I work out after my spray tan?
It's best to wait 16 to 24 hours after your spray tan before engaging in any strenuous activities or workouts. This allows the tan to fully develop and reduces the risk of streaking due to sweat.
Will the tan stain my clothes or sheets?
While the Bella Bronze solution is designed to minimize transfer, some bronzer may rub off on clothing or bedding before your first rinse. To prevent staining, wear dark, loose-fitting clothes and use dark-colored sheets. Any transfer typically washes out easily.
Can I get a spray tan if I'm pregnant?
DHA, the active ingredient in our tanning solution, is FDA-approved and only affects the outermost layer of the skin. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before proceeding with a spray tan during pregnancy
Is spray tanning safe for sensitive skin?
Our Bella Bronze solution is formulated to be gentle on the skin. If you have concerns about skin sensitivities, we offer patch tests to ensure compatibility. Please inform us of any skin conditions or allergies prior to your appointment.
