A Beginner’s Guide to Spray Tanning/Self Tanner

Summer is here, and there’s no better time to embrace a radiant, bronzed glow without the sun damage. At Mane Chic, our custom vegan spray tans give you that just-back-from-vacation look safely, effortlessly, and lavishly.

Read below for a few tips to help you get ready for your appointment:

Prep Like A Pro: Shave and Exfoliate

Prepping your skin is key to a flawless spray tan, and one of the most important steps is shaving and exfoliating beforehand. This helps remove dead skin cells, allowing the tan to adhere evenly. For the best results, especially on those tricky, hard-to-reach areas, try Mane Chic’s at-home pink Bronzed Chic exfoliating mitt to ensure smooth, consistent coverage all over.

Dress the Part: Loose and Breezy Wins!

Skip the tight clothing and sweaty shoes: loose, breathable outfits are your best bet after a spray tan. Tight fabrics can rub against your skin and affect the final outcome. If the weather allows, opt for flip-flops to keep your tan looking flawless from head to toe.

Lock It In With Hydration

Moisturizing is essential for extending the life of your spray tan. Applying lotion after your nightly shower helps to prevent dryness, which in turn keeps your tan from fading too soon. Just be sure to steer clear of moisturizers with harsh chemicals or strong fragrances, as they can interfere with your tan. At Mane Chic, we offer an exclusive aloe-based spray tan that naturally hydrates the skin, helping your glow last even longer
