TANNING TIPS
In the lead up to your tan get those exfoliators out, preferably for 3 days prior to your appointment. Most importantly on the night before or morning of your tan, exfoliate and remove unwanted hair. We recommend using the Spray Aus tan remover and tan remover mitt available iat Blondie.
To achieve the smoothest, most luminous bronze, ensure your skin is free from makeup, moisturiser, unwanted hair, deodorant and perfume. Don’t bring your new outfit to wear home from the salon – loose, dark clothes are best.
We suggest tanning 1-2 days before your event, so Thursday or Friday would be best. For weddings, 2 days before will give you a more natural look. Heading off on holiday? The night before is best. However, this is just a rough guideline, and we can always tailor our tan application to work with your schedule.
As our solution is rapid drying, you can shower as soon as 1.5 hours after your tan, or leave on the skin for up to 8 hours. We always tailor our application to work with your plans, to ensure you achieve your desired colour.
As bronzer is used in our product for colour to appear instantaneously, you may experience some rub off. If your clothes do stain, no stress, it should come out in the wash or at the dry cleaner.
Yes! You’ll still have to use SPF to ward off those harmful UV rays, as natural tanning doesn’t offer any sun protection. Be sun-smart when you’re out and about, and try to wear a moisturising sunscreen lotion wherever possible.
Testing indicates that the DHA does not penetrate the skin, nor enter the bloodstream, therefore it appears safe to spray tan. However, as a precaution, we suggest you seek permission from a doctor, prior to being sprayed in the first trimester.
No. Both the Professional and Self-tan products are fragrance free. Spray Aus prefers to infuse their products with intense hydration and nourishment, from the combination of rich-fruits, plants, oils and extracts; infused with Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil and Kakadu Plum.
We recommend wearing loose loose dark clothing or get yourself a Spray Aus boyfriend tee!!

Unfortunately, yes! As swimming enhances exfoliation, and chlorinated water makes the skin lighter, it may cause your tan to fade more quickly than normal. Avoid the fade by taking shorter dips and always using a water-resistant sunscreen, which can act as a barrier between your beautiful bronze and the water. We also suggest using the Spray Aus tan extender to prolong your bronze, available in store.
You can wear your bathers, underwear, g-string or go completely naked – whatever makes you feel most comfortable. We supply disposable g-strings, hair nets and sticky feet in salon.
Yes, we can at your request! In our opinion it is always best to give the face a light spray for an even coverage over the entire body. If you are having your makeup done for an event your makeup artist will thank you as its very hard to colour match foundation on a pale face and bronzed bod! Having a light spray on your face also gives you a beautiful glow under your foundation.
You should expect your tan to stay beautiful for 7-10 days. It’ll fade away gradually with the passing of skin cells. To prolong your tan, we recommend using the Spray Aus Tan Extender which can boost your bronze for up to 2 weeks, while soothing and deeply nourishing your skin. Available in store.
You should always speak with a doctor or a dermatologist before being tanned. If given approval, you can request to test a small area of your skin first, to make sure there aren’t any adverse reactions. As the Spary Aus solution is all-natural, it doesn’t normally irritate the skin. Our combination of rich natural fruits, plants, oils and extracts, soothe, strengthen and promote healthy skin.
