Steps to be taken prior Spray Tan

Steps to be taken after a Spray Tan

You will leave with a "topical bronzer" on your skin (this is not your spray tan). it may smudge or move - do not worry it will not impact your spray tan
Shower after 8 hours (2-4 hours if you chose the rapid tan)
Do not workout or work up a sweat as this could lead to an uneven spray tan - ok to workout the next day.

I was extremely happy with my choice to go to Santa Barbara Spa for a spray tan!!

I have been seeing Shelby for years and she’s an awesome aesthetician. She is very busy, but now she has a new aesthetician that no one seems to know about! Her name is Lisa and she’s just as professional as Shelby. Lisa knows her stuff!
