Hi, guys. So I just wanted to jump on here and say, Hey! I hope everybody is having a good day. I am sipping my go-go juice, My Starbucks. It's only 11 o'clock; I have not started day drinking yet, jk. We're going to save that till 5 pm ;). This blog post, will let you guys know what you should be wearing to your appointment and what you should not
be wearing. As a spray tan artist, I sometimes forget that you guys need to be reminded of that. I mean, it's weird because I sometimes see artists, and they're like, Oh, wear this, and they have on biker shorts. We don't want biker shorts! No, no, no, no. There is nothing tight at all; no leggings, no sneakers or crop tops. I always say, get your man's clothes. If you don't have a man, get your brother's clothes. If you don't have a brother, go
To Wal-Mart, Amazon, or Whatever. Buy Two sizes bigger. I always say, wear long sleeve shirt and pants. The baggier, the better. People always are like, Oh, well, you know, shouldn't I go naked? You don't want to go naked, because mistakes like : your dog licking you; or you spill some water on yourself, you fall in the grass, you open the dishwasher and water will spray on you. These are all scenarios that I have heard personally throughout the years.
So that's why I always say a way to prevent these accidents wear long sleeve shirt and pants, and you guys might say, Well, Amber, what about the little, waistband from your pants? You better tuck that shirt in those pants. Okay. I know it is not Cute, honey. You're marinating; beauty is sometimes uncomfortable, okay? I mean, spray tans are not for the basic. Girls do not forget that! Okay, But this is the thing. There's no pain. You're going to feel a little cold due to the solution, but that's
it. The big thing is, you need to put on that long sleeve shirt and pants, and tuck in that shirt. You will be all good with the waistband around your waist too, just tuck your shirt in. So again, you want dark, loose clothing. Even though the spray tan solution does usually come out of everything, you want dark, loose clothing just because you don't want to mess up any of your clothes or sheets. If you're doing an eight-hour solution, you want
to put a towel underneath your body when you sleep. I know it's a lot to change your whole sheets, so, get a big old blanket and put it underneath you. Sleeping in a long sleeve shirt and pants is really going to help with the accidents people usually run into. Clients often ask, "but if I sleep in long sleeve shirt and pants, won't that mess up the tan?" It will not mess up your spray tan; we put finishing powder over your whole body after your
spray tan, to create sort of a barrier between your skin and your clothes. Also, shoes, you do not want to wear any sneakers.No socks or anything after your spray tan that is tight, Flip flops only. So, Quick Wrap up. You want something that is very loose, not tight to your body—dark, loose clothing. And since you're wearing a long sleeve shirt, pants and flip-flops you want to crank that A C., you mustn't sweat after your spray tan. Okay! Check Out our spray tan shirts on our online shop. You

When you book your first spray tan appointment, it can be exciting, but also scary at the same time. It’s a new experience and you’ll want to make sure that everything goes perfectly. Here’s some help with what you should wear to your spray tan appointment.

I’m getting a spray tan, what should I wear?
When you are dressing for a spray tan, there are some ideas which can guide you, but it ultimately depends on you, and what you want from the spray tan. By this, I mean what occasion or purpose you are getting the spray tan for.
- If you are getting your spray tan during the wintertime, for casual wear and just to maintain your colour year-round, you don’t need to be so picky about what you wear, as you’ll most like be covering up a lot at this time anyway. Anything should do, to be honest, and this also applies for anyone who is not planning to show much skin with their spray tan.
- If you are getting a spray tan before a vacation, or any time when you’re planning to go to the beach or wear a bikini, you obviously want to have minimal tan lines visible. For this reason, a thong and skimpy bra or bikini top is your best option. One good idea is to wear the bikini bottoms and top which show the most skin (and are strapless if possible) to your appointment because then you know you have spray tanned enough.
- If your spray tan is for any other summer occasion, or a party, you also don’t need to worry too much about what you wear, but perhaps consider the straps or neckline on your party dress, or the style neckline you wear the most as this will mean you don’t end up showing your stark tan lines.

What tops should I wear?
After your spray tan application, you’ll have to wait for a few hours (the person who sprayed you will tell you about this) before hopping in the shower and rinsing any excess tan off. During this time, there is the possibility of some excess product transferring onto your clothes, so you should be aware of this and keep it in mind when choosing what clothes to wear.
In general, anything loose, baggy and dark-colored is the safest option, and covering as little skin as possible is also a good idea. By this, choosing something short-sleeved, if it’s warm enough, is best as this makes the least contact with your skin for a potential transfer.
- Loose, dark tank tops are probably the best option, if it’s possible, as they cover the least skin while still being loose and not sticking to the skin.
- Baggy t-shirts or loose jumpers are both good – just make sure you don’t sweat if you’re wearing a jumper.
- Avoid things like tight turtleneck tops or long sleeve tops where possible.
- Avoid tops which are skin-tight and stick to your body as these will rub against your tan, making it transfer.
- Make sure that whatever you are wearing is comfortable and not too warm or cold.
- Anything which is too warm will make you sweat and this should be avoided during the development stage of a spray tan.
What bottoms should I wear?
The excess product transfer mentioned earlier also applies to your bottom half, too. As well as picking out a suitable top for the occasion, you’ll also want to find some bottoms which you can wear post-spray tan appointment.
Like before, choosing something baggy and dark will prevent too much staining on your clothes, as this won’t show up on darker colours, and baggy clothes won’t stick to your skin for the tan to transfer onto. If you’re stuck, here are some ideas:
- Dark jogging bottoms of sweatpants are good for colder weather, and oversized or baggy ones are also best. Just make sure that you don’t get too hot and sweat in them.
- Tight jeans or trousers are probably not suitable for your spray tan because the material rubs along the skin and creates lots of friction, which causes the colour to transfer. You also don’t want to ruin any nice trousers with staining as this would be very disappointing.
- Leggings and yoga pants can be an okay option, but they may cause some transfer.
- If possible, shorts are the best option possible, especially ones made from a loose, jersey fabric as they’ll be comfy, and won’t rub against your legs much.

What about the underwear?
As mentioned earlier, you want to consider the occasion for which you’ll be flaunting your new tan and use this to decide your underwear for the appointment. If you didn’t realize already, your spray tan application takes place in just your underwear, unless of course, you choose specifically otherwise, so the underwear you have on will affect your tan lines.
One good idea is to consider wearing a bikini for your appointment, rather than underwear. There are a few reasons for this, but the main ones are that a bikini is much easier to wash and less likely to permanently stain than regular underwear, but also that it gives you a more accurate idea of how much skin would be showing in a bikini.
If you choose not to wear a bikini, consider a thong if you are planning to wear a bikini or don’t want to show any tan lines whilst you have your spray tan on.

Final thoughts
To sum everything up, the clothes you wear to your spray tan appointment do actually matter, and you should certainly put thought into them before you go. As long as you remember to wear clothes which won’t rub up against your skin much, and in colours which won’t stain if you do happen to experience some colour transfer. Consider where and when you’ll be showing off your spray tan, and use this to judge what you’ll be wearing.
