How To Apply a Spray Tan

The Best Spray Tanning Tips for a Perfect Non-Streaky Application

Applying a spray tan is easy when you know the basics. Preparation prior to applying a spray tan is key to ensuring a natural-looking, non-streaky tan, as is choosing a good quality spray tan solution - such as Famous Dave's Spray Tan. Follow our guidelines below to help you with a great application and a professional finish every time:

Wax/shave at least 24 hours prior to application to avoid irritation.
Apply on clean, dry skin. Exfoliate well prior to tanning for the smoothest coverage.
Do not apply any lotions, creams or deodorants onto the skin before use. You can use a barrier cream (any moisturiser) on areas with dry skin (elbows, knees etc).
Apply using a tanning mitt; spray lightly directly onto the mitt (instead of the skin) using the pump-action nozzle and blend the product evenly onto your skin, paying special attention to elbows, knees, ankles, neck, fingers, wrists, toes, etc.
Use sparingly first time and build up your tan over a few applications.
Allow to dry for approx 10min before dressing.
Wear dark, loose-fitting clothes after tanning.
Avoid physical activity after applying the product.
Do not bathe or shower for at least 12 hours.
Moisturise daily and exfoliate every 3-5 days to ensure your tan lasts longer and wears smoothly.

The above tips are perfect to help you start applying your spray tan at home and get a salon quality finish without the salon price. Typically you will only need 20-30ml of spray tan solution per application, so even buying a 250ml spray tan solution for £25, you will still be getting around 10 full body applications per bottle, compared to one professional spray tan applied in the salon. A sound investment AND a great tan!
