When Should You Get a Spray Tan Before a Fall Wedding, Event or Photoshoot?

Fall is one of the busiest seasons for weddings, family photos, engagement parties, dinners, birthdays, and special events. If you have something coming up, one of the most common questions we hear is:

“How many days before my event should I get my spray tan?”

For most events, we recommend scheduling your spray tan 2 days before the occasion. This gives your color time to fully develop and allows you to feel confident that your tan looks natural, even, and perfectly settled when it's time to get dressed up.

Why 2 Days Before Your Event?

A professional spray tan continues developing after your initial application and rinse. Giving yourself a couple of days allows the color to settle into a natural-looking glow rather than feeling like you just got sprayed.

It also gives you time to make sure your skin is hydrated and your tan is looking exactly how you want it.

For an important event, we don't recommend waiting until the last possible minute if you can avoid it.

Planning a Wedding?

For brides and bridal parties, timing is especially important.

If you're getting married on Saturday, a Wednesday or Thursday spray tan may be a great option depending on your schedule and the type of solution you're using.

If you're unsure which day is best, we'll help you plan your appointment around your wedding timeline.

What About a Fall Photoshoot?

Fall family photos are another perfect reason to book a spray tan.

Between sweaters, dresses, boots, and warm fall colors, a subtle glow can photograph beautifully and add warmth to your overall look.

For photoshoots, we recommend planning your spray tan 2 days beforehand whenever possible so your color has time to develop and settle.

Don't Forget Your Other Beauty Appointments

If you're preparing for a wedding or special event, your spray tan should generally be one of the last beauty services you schedule.

Try to complete services such as:

• Waxing

• Shaving

• Facials

• Massages

• Manicures and pedicures

before your spray tan whenever possible.

This helps prevent other beauty treatments from interfering with your freshly applied color.

What Should You Do Before Your Spray Tan?

For the most even result, exfoliate your skin before your appointment and arrive with clean, dry skin.

Avoid applying lotion, oils, deodorant, or other products immediately before your spray tan.

After your appointment, follow your rinse instructions and keep your skin moisturized once your tan has developed.

Proper hydration is especially important for maintaining an even-looking tan as it fades.
