Pre-Session Spray Readiness Checklist
Before you book a session, verify your client readiness with a quick checklist. Confirm you have clean, exfoliated skin with no heavy lotions or oils lingering on the surface. Make sure hair is trimmed as needed and that you can keep the application area dry and undisturbed during the process. Review any spray tan sensitivities by checking whether your chosen formula aligns with your skin type, and ensure you’re comfortable with typical aftercare rules. Ask the provider to explain how they customize shade depth and undertone so the result complements your natural complexion rather than overpowering it.
Application Day Verification Steps
On the day of service, treat the process like a simple quality-control routine. Arrive with makeup removed and avoid deodorants or body creams on the areas that will be tinted. Confirm the provider performs a patch test when appropriate and discusses how coverage will be balanced for different body zones—face, torso, and legs often need distinct approaches. Ensure the room setup supports even airflow and that you receive clear guidance for posture and movement during application. If you have concerns about streaking or uneven absorption, request an explanation of the technique used to blend edges and manage tricky areas such as elbows, knees, and hands.
Aftercare and Longevity Checklist
To protect your results, use an aftercare checklist that keeps maintenance consistent. Keep the skin dry for the recommended curing period so the color develops evenly. Wear loose, dark clothing to reduce friction, and avoid activities that cause heavy sweating right after the session. For washing, choose gentle, sulfate-free cleansers and pat dry carefully rather than scrubbing. Moisturize daily with a non-oily option to extend wear and maintain softness. If you notice dryness, focus hydration on the areas that typically fade faster, like elbows and ankles. Remember that exfoliation and chlorinated water can impact longevity, so plan accordingly.
