Pre-Tan Tips
Exfoliate and Shave
No Make-Up, Deodorant or Perfume
Shower at Least 4 Hours Ahead
For the best results, exfoliate and shave 24-48 hours before your spray tan. Exfoliating helps smooth your skin and removes dead skin cells, ensuring an even, flawless tan. If you need to shave after your airbrush tan, use an electric razor with pivoting heads to avoid disrupting the tan.

Shower at Least 4 Hours Ahead
If you must shower before your tan, make sure to do so at least 4 hours beforehand. Use cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can open your pores. Open pores can lead to small black dots if the spray tan is applied too soon after.

It's best to skip makeup, deodorant, perfume, and body oils before your spray tan. These products can create a barrier on your skin, preventing the tan from applying evenly. Chemicals and oils may also affect the results. It’s safest to go without them!
Wear Loose Clothing

No Make-Up, Deodorant or Perfume
Your outfit after a spray tan matters! Choose loose, lightweight clothing to avoid any friction on your skin. Steer clear of tight bras or snug-fitting clothes. Thong sandals or flip-flops are the ideal footwear. Darker clothing is recommended, though don’t worry—our spray tan washes out of nearly all fabrics.

Be sure to book your nail salon appointment at least 24 hours before your spray tan. This allows time for any oils to fully absorb, ensuring your spray tan artist can properly protect your nails. Avoid getting nail services after your tan, as it can strip the color from your hands and feet.
Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure

It's best to avoid excessive sun exposure before getting a spray tan. Sunburns not only look bad, but they can also dull the glow of your INSTAGLOW tan, leading to less impressive results and possibly causing your skin to peel. Peeling can ruin your spray tan.

It's All About What You Put In
A healthy diet plays a huge role in promoting glowing skin! The foods you eat provide essential nutrients that support your skin's health and appearance. Here’s how:
1. **Hydration**: Drinking plenty of water and consuming water-rich foods (like fruits and vegetables) helps keep your skin hydrated, which is key for maintaining a smooth, plump, and glowing complexion.
2. **Antioxidants**: Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries, leafy greens, and nuts, fight free radicals that damage skin cells. These antioxidants help protect your skin from premature aging and promote a more youthful, radiant glow.
3. **Healthy Fats**: Omega-3 fatty acids found in foods like salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts help maintain your skin’s natural oil barrier, keeping it hydrated and supple. They also help reduce inflammation, which can lead to clearer, smoother skin.
4. **Vitamins A, C, and E**: Vitamin A (found in sweet potatoes and carrots), Vitamin C (found in citrus fruits, bell peppers, and broccoli), and Vitamin E (found in almonds and spinach) all support collagen production and protect skin cells from damage, contributing to a healthier, more radiant appearance.
5. **Zinc**: Foods high in zinc, like pumpkin seeds and legumes, can help reduce inflammation and acne breakouts, promoting clearer skin.
6. **Gut Health**: A healthy gut often leads to clearer skin. Probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables can help balance your gut microbiome, which in turn can improve your skin’s appearance by reducing acne and inflammation.
Eating a balanced diet filled with nutrient-rich foods helps nourish your skin from the inside out, giving you that healthy, radiant glow!
