If it’s comfortable for you, skipping a bra is recommended, as “tight clothing can rub against freshly sprayed skin and create uneven patches,” says Claghorn, but more on what to wear after a spray tan later.
Last part—don’t forget the shoes! “Slides or sandals are your best bet for your feet,” says Claghorn, and bonus points if they are also loose-fitting and dark-colored.
What do you wear when you get a spray tan?
What do you wear during the actual spray tan? (Do you fully undress for a spray tan? Is it awkward?) Both experts share the same sentiment: It’s totally up to your comfort level. Alysa adds that it’s all about “whatever makes you feel confident and covered.”
And don’t worry—it’s not awkward at all. Spray tan artists see bodies all day, every day, and are there to make you as comfortable as possible. Both Claghorn and Alysa share that many clients go fully nude to avoid tan lines, but others “wear a thong or swimsuit bottoms because they love to see the color difference,” Claghorn adds. “At Sugared + Bronzed, we provide disposable garments for guests who prefer them,” says Claghorn. You can, of course, also wear your own underwear too.
It’s also important to arrive at your appointment with clean, dry skin, sans any lotions or oils. “These can act as barriers and affect the absorption of the solution,” says Claghorn.
While some customers may be looking for an all-over tan, this isn’t always the case: “If you’re tanning for an event and wearing a specific outfit, we can always adjust based on what areas will be showing,” explains Alysa.
What should you wear after a spray tan?
After your spray tan and while your tan develops, keep your clothes loose and dark like before your appointment. “Avoid bras or anything with straps that could leave lines,” says Alysa. “Think no skin-to-skin contact so your tan can develop without smudging. Avoid anything tight like leggings, sports bras, or jeans.” Wearing loose clothing after will be your best bet for a flawless tan.
How long do you need to stay in your comfy outfit? Not that we’re rushing out of a comfy pair of sweats or a big dress, but you can return to your regular wardrobe after you rinse off your spray tan. “You can rinse as soon as one hour post-spray or as long as 24 hours after,” says Claghorn, but talk to your spray tan artist about what timeline they recommend.
If you’ve gotten spray tans before and feel like they’ve faded too quickly, here’s a pro tip from Alysa: “Post-rinse, stay away from chlorinated pools, saunas, and harsh scrubs for several days to keep your glow intact,” she says.
How do you prepare for a spray tan?
Though what you wear before and after your spray tan is key for good results, the most important step of all is prepping your skin before your spray tan.
