Spray Tan Services Near You

At Coat of Bronze, we aim to give you a flawless and personalized tanning experience from start to finish. Our friendly staff, including all the girls, are dedicated to making you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation: Our tanning specialists will begin with a brief consultation to understand your desired shade and skin type. Whether you’re looking for a light, medium, or deep tan, we’ll help you look exactly how you want.

2. Preparation: 

• Hydrate
  Keeping your skin and body hydrated is essential for a long-lasting, even tan. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure your skin is well-hydrated. Moisturize your skin daily up until the day before your spray tan. Well-hydrated skin absorbs the tanning solution better, providing a smoother, more natural glow. However, avoid moisturizing on the day of your appointment.

• Shower & Exfoliate
  For the best results, shower and exfoliate your entire body and face the day before your spray tan. Use an exfoliating scrub or mitt to remove any dead skin cells, which helps the tanning solution apply evenly and last longer. Focus on dry areas like your elbows, knees, and ankles, which can absorb more color. Avoid any oil-based exfoliants, as they can leave a residue that prevents the spray tan from absorbing properly.

• Schedule Other Appointments First
  Make sure to schedule any beauty appointments, such as waxing, shaving, nails, or facials, before your spray tan session. Waxing or shaving after a spray tan can remove the color, and nail appointments can expose your skin to water and chemicals, which may affect the tan. Scheduling these services beforehand ensures your tan stays flawless.

• Avoid Oil-Based Products
  Avoid using oil-based lotions, body washes, or skincare products within 24 hours of your appointment. These products create a barrier on your skin, preventing the tanning solution from fully absorbing and developing evenly. Stick to oil-free, lightweight products in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure the best results.

• Wear Loose, Dark Clothing
  On the day of your appointment, wear dark, loose-fitting clothes and slip-on shoes. Tight clothing can rub against your freshly applied tan, causing streaks or uneven patches. Dark clothing helps prevent any visible stains from the bronzer. After your session, avoid wearing tight bras, jeans, or anything that may cause friction on your skin for several hours.

• No Barriers
  For optimal results, come to your appointment with clean, product-free skin. Do not wear makeup, moisturizers, deodorant, or perfume, as these can act as barriers and block the spray tan from adhering to your skin evenly. If you have any of these products on, they may cause patchiness or uneven color development.

3. Custom Spray Application:

Your tanning session will be performed by a professional airbrush technician using our organic, scent-free tanning formula. The application is quick and precise, giving you an even tan with no streaks. Our formula is designed to enhance your natural skin tone while avoiding any orange tint.

4. Quick Drying & Fast Results:

Our express formula is designed for those who want quick, beautiful results without the long wait. You can shower in as little as 1-3 hours after your spray tan session, depending on your desired level of color. For a light, subtle glow, shower after 1 hour. For a medium tan, wait 2 hours, and for a deeper, bronzed look, shower after 3 hours.

Even after you shower, the tan will continue to develop and deepen over the next 12-24 hours, leaving you with a radiant, sun-kissed glow. The express formula allows you to get a gorgeous tan quickly and conveniently, perfect for last-minute events or busy schedules. Plus, it eliminates the worry of waiting overnight for the tan to set, so you can go about your day feeling confident and glowing.

5. Aftercare Tips:

• Moisturize Daily
  Keeping your skin hydrated is the key to prolonging the life of your spray tan. Use a lightweight, oil-free lotion every day to lock in moisture and prevent your skin from drying out. Dry skin can lead to patchiness and an uneven fade, so make moisturizing a daily ritual. Focus on areas that tend to dry out more quickly, such as your elbows, knees, and hands. Avoid lotions with harsh chemicals or oils, as these can break down the tan.

• Take Warm, Short Showers
  After your spray tan, be mindful of your shower routine. Avoid taking hot showers, as the heat can dry out your skin and cause your tan to fade faster. Instead, opt for warm, short showers to protect your tan. When drying off, gently pat your skin with a towel rather than rubbing, as rubbing can lead to streaks and premature fading. Avoid using harsh soaps, body scrubs, or loofahs, as these can strip away your tan.

• Limit Intense Exercise
  While staying active is important, heavy sweating from intense exercise can shorten the life of your spray tan. Sweat can cause your tan to break down unevenly, leading to blotchy or streaky areas. If possible, opt for light exercise in the days following your tan to extend its longevity. Activities like yoga, walking, or Pilates are great options that won’t cause excessive sweating.

• 4. Always Wear Sunscreen
  Even with a sun-kissed glow, it’s important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen when you’re outdoors, especially since spray tans do not protect against sunburn. Look for an oil-free sunscreen to avoid breaking down the tan, and reapply it regularly. Not only will this keep your skin healthy, but it will also prevent sun damage, which can lead to uneven fading.

• 5. Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Water
  Water is the enemy of a long-lasting spray tan, particularly chlorinated water. Avoid swimming pools, Jacuzzis, saunas, and steam rooms as much as possible, as chlorine and heat can strip away your tan quickly. If you do go swimming, limit your time in the water and make sure to rinse off immediately afterward. Be sure to reapply moisturizer after any exposure to water to keep your skin hydrated.

• Use a Tan Extender
  To keep your tan looking fresh and vibrant, consider using a tan extender. Tan extenders are specially formulated lotions or sprays designed to prolong the life of your spray tan. Many tan extenders contain a small amount of DHA (the active ingredient in spray tans) that helps refresh your color. Daily use of a tan extender will keep your skin moisturized and help your tan fade evenly, extending the life of your glow by several days.
