Spray Tanning at Beaudee Salon: What to Know Before Your Glow

Want that sun-kissed glow without UV exposure or beach time? A spray tan from Beaudee Salon offers a safe, quick, and customizable way to get bronzed. Whether you’re prepping for a vacation, photoshoot, wedding, or just want to feel more radiant, we’ve got you covered—literally.

Here’s everything you need to know about spray tanning in Rhode Island with Beaudee: from pre-tan prep to aftercare and how to make your color last longer.

Why Choose Spray Tanning?

Spray tanning is a sunless tanning method that applies a fine mist of bronzing solution to your skin. It darkens the top layer of the skin and develops over several hours, giving you a natural-looking tan without sun damage.

Benefits of Spray Tanning:

  • Safe alternative to UV exposure
  • Customizable shade based on your skin tone and goals
  • Fast results —perfect for last-minute events
  • No streaks, patchiness, or orange tones when done professionally
  • Great for all skin types and tones
  • At Beaudee Salon, we use professional-grade tanning solutions for a natural, even finish with no harsh smell or sticky residue.

    How to Prepare for Your Spray Tan

    Proper preparation is the secret to a flawless tan that fades evenly and lasts longer.

    24–48 Hours Before:

  • Exfoliate thoroughly with a non-oily scrub to remove dead skin
  • Shave or wax at least 24 hours in advance
  • Avoid lotions, oils, or deodorants that could create a barrier
  • The Day Of:

  • Arrive with clean, bare skin (no makeup, lotions, or perfume)
  • Wear loose, dark clothing after your session
  • Remove jewelry and tie up hair away from the face and neck
  • Let your Beaudee technician know your desired shade and any special requests—we’ll customize your tan accordingly.

    What to Expect During Your Appointment

    A spray tan session at Beaudee is quick, comfortable, and private.

    Here’s How It Works:

  • You'll be shown to a private area where you can undress to your comfort level
  • A technician will evenly apply the bronzing solution using a professional-grade spray system
  • The process typically takes 10–15 minutes
  • You’ll dry for a few minutes before getting dressed
  • Your tan will develop over 6–8 hours (or overnight, depending on the formula)
  • We’ll walk you through post-care and answer any questions before you leave.

    Aftercare Tips to Make Your Tan Last

    Once your tan is applied, it’s important to care for your skin to maintain even fading and vibrant color.

    First 24 Hours:

  • Avoid showering, sweating, or swimming
  • Wait the recommended development time before rinsing (usually 8 hours)
  • When rinsing, use lukewarm water —no soap on the first rinse
  • Pat skin dry with a towel, don’t rub
  • Ongoing Maintenance:

  • Moisturize daily with a fragrance-free, non-oily lotion
  • Avoid exfoliating until you're ready for your next tan
  • Use gentle body wash to avoid fading
  • Skip long hot baths, chlorinated pools, or anything that accelerates exfoliation
  • With proper care, your spray tan can last 5–7 days, or even longer with a gradual fade.

    Common Questions About Spray Tanning
