Avoid These 5 Mistakes Before Your Spray Tan – Especially if You’re a Bride or Busy Mom
Whether you're walking down the aisle, wrangling toddlers, or just trying to find a moment for yourself—getting a spray tan should be one thing that makes you feel confident, not stressed.
At Angeline Studios, we specialize in flawless, natural-looking spray tans for women in Lake Forest, Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo, and surrounding South OC cities. Over the years, we’ve seen some common mistakes that can make or break your tan.
If you want a glow that lasts and looks amazing in photos, here’s what NOT to do:
1. Don’t Show Up Without Exfoliating First
Spray tan solution clings to dry, dead skin—and that means uneven patches, blotchy spots, or faster fading.
🧽 Do this instead: Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment using a mitt or a gentle scrub. Avoid oil-based products, which can block the tan from absorbing evenly.
2. Don’t Wear Lotion, Deodorant, or Makeup to Your Appointment
These products act as a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution. That can cause streaks, patchiness, or color that doesn’t develop properly.
💡 Pro tip: Come to your appointment with clean, dry skin—no lotion, no makeup, no deodorant.
3. Don’t Book a Spray Tan the Day Before Your Event
Even the best spray tan takes at least 24–48 hours to fully develop and settle into its natural shade.
👰 For brides: Your ideal spray tan timing is 2–3 days before the big day. That gives your tan time to mellow and look 100% photo-ready.
🍼 For moms: Booking mid-week gives you weekend glow without the stress.
4. Don’t Wear Tight Clothes to Your Appointment
Yoga pants, sports bras, or anything snug can rub off the solution before it has time to set.
👗 Wear this instead: Loose-fitting clothing, preferably dark in color. A flowy dress or oversized shirt is perfect.
5. Don’t Go Just Anywhere
Not all spray tans are created equal. Cheap solutions, poor technique, or bad lighting can leave you orange, sticky, or worse—streaky.
✨ At Angeline Studios, we customize your tan based on your skin tone, undertones, and goals. Our clients walk out glowing—not guessing.
