Your Ultimate Guide to the Coco Tanning Experience: From Prep to Glow

Welcome to the Coco Tanning Company blog, where luxury meets glow. Whether it’s your first time getting a spray tan or you’re a bronzed regular, this guide breaks down exactly what to expect — from consultation to that radiant final rinse.

We’re not just about color. We’re about confidence, customization, and clean beauty. Here’s how our expert team delivers the Palm Beach Glow, on the Go every time.

🔍 Step 1: Personalized Consultation & Skin Tone Matching

Every tan begins with intention.
Our Executive Glow Getters take time to understand your skin tone, preferences, and tanning history. We analyze undertones, identify any areas that may need blending or barrier cream, and discuss your desired level of glow — from subtle sun-kissed to a rich, golden bronze.

🧼 Step 2: Exfoliation & Skin Prep (The Day Before)

Prepping your canvas is everything.
Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment using a non-oil-based scrub or exfoliating mitt. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles to remove buildup and dead skin. Hydrate with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer in the days leading up to your tan — but skip it the day of.

🚫 Step 3: Day-Of Do’s & Don’ts

Glow starts before we spray.
On tan day, arrive with clean, dry skin — no lotion, deodorant, perfume, or makeup. Wear dark, loose clothing (think: oversized tee and joggers) and slip-on shoes to avoid rubbing your tan during the development phase.

🌞 Step 4: Your Custom Glow Session

This is where the magic happens.
Using clean, vegan, natural-based solutions, our team customizes every tan based on your skin tone, event schedule, and glow goals. From contouring to color blending, every detail is thoughtfully executed so your glow looks effortless — never orange.

🛁 Step 5: Post-Tan Care & Rinse Guidelines

After your appointment, follow your technician’s rinse instructions (typically 6–8 hours later, or sooner with a rapid solution). Use lukewarm water only—no soap—and pat dry gently with a towel.

🧴 Step 6: Maintain the Glow

Hydration = longevity.
Moisturize daily with an oil-free lotion and avoid products with exfoliants or alcohol. For extra staying power, use our Glow Lotion and Facial Tanning Mist — both designed to extend your tan while keeping your skin nourished and glowing.

🔁 Step 7: Rebook & Repeat

Spray tans typically last 5–7 days with proper care. Whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or just for special events, we’re here whenever you’re ready for your next session. Glow memberships make staying bronzed even easier.

💬 Final Glow Thoughts

Spray tanning is more than just color — it’s a confidence boost, a self-care ritual, and a chance to feel like your best, most radiant self. At Coco Tanning Company, we’re committed to creating an elevated, seamless experience that feels just as good as it looks.
