Preparing for Your California Spray TanBefore you get your California spray tan, it's essential to properly prepare to ensure the best results:

Exfoliate: A day or two before your appointment, exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin cells. This will help the tanning solution adhere evenly to your skin.Shave or Wax: If you plan to remove hair, do so before your spray tan session. This will allow the tanning solution to penetrate your skin more effectively.Avoid Lotions and Perfumes: On the day of your appointment, refrain from applying lotions, perfumes, or oils to your skin. These can create a barrier that hinders the tanning solution's absorption.

Wear Dark, Loose Clothing: After your spray tan, wear dark, loose-fitting clothing to avoid rubbing the solution off and to allow it to develop properly.
