Text or call the number below if you have questions about your appointment.
Remember: Your spray tan develops on the outer layer of your skin. The better you prep and moisturize, the more even, natural, and longer-lasting your glow will be.
This fits the warm, supportive "trusted friend with expertise" voice you've been building for Velvet Bronze. It feels less like a list of restrictions and more like guidance from someone helping them get the best possible result.
The Velvet Bronze Prep Plan
A few easy steps before your appointment can make all the difference. Here's everything you need to know for a smooth, streak-free tan you'll love.
24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
☐ Exfoliate thoroughly, paying special attention to elbows, knees, ankles, and dry areas.
☐ Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment.
☐ Remove any old self-tanner.
☐ Moisturize daily leading up to your appointment (but not the day of).
DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT
☐ Arrive with clean, product-free skin.
☐ Skip lotions, oils, perfumes, deodorant, and makeup.
☐ Wear loose, dark clothing.
☐ Bring loose sandals or slides if possible.
☐ Remove jewelry before your spray tan.
☐ Tie long hair up before your appointment.
Post-Appointment Care:
WHILE YOUR TAN DEVELOPS
☐ Avoid water, sweating, workouts, and humidity.
☐ Wear loose clothing.
☐ Avoid tight bras, leggings, or anything that may rub the skin.
☐ Follow your rinse instructions based on your solution type.
FIRST RINSE
☐ Rinse with lukewarm water only.
☐ Do not use soap, body wash, or shampoo during the first rinse.
☐ Continue rinsing until the cosmetic bronzer runs clear.
☐ Pat dry—don't rub.
EXTEND YOUR GLOW
☐ Moisturize daily.
☐ Use gentle, sulfate-free body wash.
☐ Pat skin dry after showering.
☐ Avoid long hot baths, pools, hot tubs, and excessive exfoliation.
☐ Stay hydrated for healthier-looking skin.
