So, you’ve decided to glow up — literally. Whether it’s your first-ever spray tan or you’re already a sunless glow devotee, let’s make one thing clear: preparation is everything.
At Blushaé, Sydney’s luxury women-only beauty studio, we don’t do “just okay” tans. We create flawless, luminous, effortless tans — and it starts long before you step into our studio.
Here’s your ultimate, no-fluff guide to prepping like a pro.
Why Prepping Matters (Trust Us, You’ll Thank Yourself)
A great spray tan isn’t magic. It’s the result of:
Expert application (hello, 16+ years’ experience).
Premium products designed for your skin.
Smart, intentional prep on your end.
Skip prep, and you risk:
❌ Uneven fade
❌ Patchy ankles, knees, elbows
❌ Shorter-lasting glow
We want you glowing and grinning for days — not wondering where it all went wrong.
48 Hours Before: The Golden Prep Window
1️⃣ Exfoliate like you mean it
Use a non-oil-based scrub or dry brush.
Focus on rough spots: elbows, knees, heels.
Skip heavy oils or thick lotions. They create a barrier.
2️⃣ Hair removal check
Shave, wax, or epilate at least 24 hours before.
Avoid doing it last-minute to prevent skin irritation.
The Day Of: Keep It Simple, Chic & Clean
3️⃣ Arrive fresh-faced (and body’d)
No lotions, perfumes, deodorant, or makeup.
Shower at least 4 hours before (not right before).
Skin should be cool, dry, and product-free.
4️⃣ Dress for success (aka your post-tan outfit)
Loose, dark clothing.
Slip-on shoes or sandals.
Hair tied up, no tight underwear or bras if possible.
Pro Tips for First-Timers (or Forgetful Regulars)
Hydrate your skin from the inside. Dry skin drinks up tan unevenly.
Plan your schedule. No gym, swimming, or sweating post-tan.
Bring hair ties, clips, and chill vibes. We’ve got the rest.
Aftercare Sneak Peek: Lock In That Glow
Wait 6-8 hours before rinsing.
Use gentle, sulfate-free products.
Moisturise daily, but skip exfoliating.
Pat, don’t rub, your skin dry.
We’ll walk you through all this post-tan, but it’s chic to come prepared.
