Shower 12-24 hours prior to your tan. Spray tans develop best on dry skin
2. Exfoliate your skin to remove any old skin or residual spray tan. Exfoliating creates a clean slate which is perfect for spray tans. The reality is the fresher your skin is the longer your tan will last before it begins to fade.
3. Shave the morning of your spray tan, but only if the service is still a few hours away, and only if you have time to exfoliate your skin afterwards. The reason for this is because shaving opens up the skins pores, and shaving cream can leave a residue on your skin.
