There’s nothing like a healthy looking tan when the sun is shining, and having fake tan on doesn’t stop the UV rays penetrating your skin. In short, yes you can still tan from the sun if you have fake tan on.

You must however still wear a good SPF whilst tanning outdoors to avoid burning.

Using a tanning bed whilst wearing fake tan still allows you to tan, however a build up of old self tanning products will dry out your skin and act as barrier. For best tanning results remove old fake tan.

Talk to the spray tan technician or salon before your appointment. They have experience in all the spray tans offered and can recommend a formula based on your skin tone and desired outcome.

Beau Bronzage offers four shades of Salon Solution to suit a variety of skin types and tones, and are enriched with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera to keep your tan long-lasting. Each solution can be washed off after two hours of wear, and are available in shades Medium, Dark, Extra Dark and Ultra Dark  to suit any complexion.

Absolutely! A patch test is essential. It will make sure there are no adverse reactions to the spray tan. The Beau Bronzage formulas are all hypo-allergenic but we always recommend a test before hand. 

After you’ve done your patch test, you’ll need to book your final appointment.

We recommend getting your spray tan 2 – 3 days before the event you’re going to. It’s definitely best to avoid the evening before as the tan will continue to develop for 24-48 hours, so will need some time for the full result to appear.

For the best coverage of spray tan solutions, it is important to prepare your skin beforehand by exfoliating and removing any hair through shaving or waxing. It is recommended to perform these actions at least 24-48 hours before your scheduled appointment. Be sure to use an exfoliating mitt or scrub to gently rub your whole body, paying extra attention to typically dry areas such as elbows, knees, and ankles.

After exfoliating, moisturizing is advised, but not on the same day as your spray tan. It is also recommended to avoid applying any lotions, deodorant, perfume, or makeup on the day of your appointment as this can affect the evenness of the tan. To ensure an even coverage without product buildup, your consultant will apply a barrier cream to your elbows, knees, hands, and feet before the spray tan is administered.

You’ll want your face to be as tanned as your body, so for that reason, Salon Solutions can be applied to the face. However, some may find their skin too sensitive, in which case you can ask to skip the face. 

You should be very careful immediately after your spray tan as the formula is developing on your skin. Wear loose-fitting clothes and avoid activities with water or liquids that may cause disaster, like doing the dishes, a workout or getting caught in the rain. Don’t worry too much if the guide colour/bronzer starts to wear off after a few hours, there will still be solution on your skin deepening the colour.

Once you’ve washed off your spray tan after the recommended amount of time, ensure to moisturise with a tan friendly moisturiser. 

Ensure your skin is hydrated both inside and out by drinking plenty of water and applying a layer of moisturiser. 

No, it shouldn’t stain your outfit especially if you’ve had your spray tan a few days before your event and you have showered at least twice, no bronzer should be left on the skin. If you do get any tan on your outfit, it should come out at the dry cleaners.
