Before the Glow Get your skin ready for a flawless finish.

  • Dress Code Tips for Your Tan

    • Remember to bring loose-fitting clothes to change into right after your Coco Tan Co. spray tan session.

    • Opt for clothing that doesn't restrict or cling, avoiding denim, yoga pants, and tight bras or underwear.

    • For added convenience, it's best to have flip flops on hand.

    To Bra or Not to Bra?

    • While most people choose to go without a bra during their spray tan, it's entirely up to your personal preference.

    • If you prefer wearing one, we recommend a strapless bra or bandeau for seamless tan lines and maximum comfort.

  • Is exfoliating necessary before a spray tan?

    • Gently exfoliate at least 4 hours before your appointment. This allows your pores to close, minimizing the risk of discoloration.

    What's the ideal exfoliation method before tanning?

    • While we don't endorse specific brands, we advise using an oil-free exfoliator made from organic and natural ingredients.

    • Choose an exfoliating mitt or product that suits your unique skin needs and preferences for optimal results.

  • Prepping for Your Perfect Glow

    • It's recommended to shower, shave, and exfoliate at least 4 hours before your Coco Tan Co. appointment. This allows your pores to close and helps prevent any potential discoloration.

    • If you find yourself needing to shower right before your appointment, we suggest finishing off with a refreshing cold rinse. This will help tighten those pores, ensuring a flawless spray tan application.

  • Should I moisturize before getting a spray tan?

    • Arrive with fresh, clean skin for your appointment.

    • Skip lotions or products that leave a film, contain sulfates, or have parabens before your spray tan. Opt for a non-greasy, water-based lotion.

  • Indulge in Pampering Bliss

    • Prioritize other beauty services such as nails, waxing, facials, and massages before your spray tan appointment.

    • Schedule waxing at least 24 hours (or more) in advance to allow the skin to recover and ensure optimal tanning solution adherence.

    • Avoid denim, bras, and yoga pants.

    • Ideally, wear a long t-shirt or dress for maximum comfort.

    Socks and Shoes

    • It's best to avoid wearing socks after a spray tan.

    • Opt for sandals or flip flops as they are the most suitable shoes to wear post-tanning.

  • • Refrain from exfoliating until you're ready to say goodbye to your tan.

    • When you're ready, use an exfoliating mitt to create the perfect canvas for your next tan.

  • Showering

    • Stay away from all moisture until your first shower, including showers, workouts, cleaning, lotions, and liquid foundations on the skin.

    • It's important not to go more than 24 hours after your appointment without showering.

    Body Wash

    • Be gentle while washing your body post-tan.

    • Use warm water, a natural body wash, and the palms of your hands to rinse off surface bronzer.

    • Avoid harsh scrubbing, hot water, soap bars, and Dove soap.

    • Pat yourself dry instead of rubbing.

  • Moisturizing

    • Use an oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

    • Apply moisturizer in the morning and evening.

    • Lubriderm is recommended because it is all-natural and oil-free.

  • • Preserve your tan by avoiding swimming, long showers, baths, steam rooms, and saunas.
