🤎 EXFOLIATE.. but gently

Proper exfoliation is one of the most important steps in preparing for a beautiful, even and long-lasting tan.

In the days leading up to your appointment, lightly exfoliate your entire body using a tan-removing exfoliating glove like this.

PLEASE DONT USE:

• Granular or gritty body scrubs

• Exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs)

• Harsh or aggressive scrubbing tools or techniques

• Oil-based exfoliating products

The idea of gentle exfoliation is to keep your skin a smooth, even canvas for your fresh tan. If your skin becomes aggravated. you’ve gone too far!

If you have old fake tan to remove, I recommend using the Body Glow Australia Tan Removing Mousse + Exfoliating Glove together to gently loosen and remove the remaining colour.

And don’t forget your underarms!! They need gentle exfoliation too!

🤎 HYDRATE

Keep your skin well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment by drinking plenty of water and moisturising daily. Well-hydrated skin helps your tan develop beautifully, last longer and fade more evenly. Just remember your body needs to be free of moisturiser prior to your tan and only a TAN-SAFE moisturiser such as Body Glow Australia Body Milk can be used once the tan is on your skin.

🤎 HAIR REMOVAL

Laser hair removal should be completed 4–5 days before your appointment.

Waxing should be completed at least 48 hours before any remaining wax needs to be exfoliated off; otherwise, it will ruin your spray tan.

Shaving should be completed at least 24 hours before.

🤎 WASH YOUR HAIR EARLIER

Please don't wash your hair immediately before or after your tanning appointment. Shampoo, conditioner and other hair-product residue can run over the skin and interfere with your tan. Read the FAQ below about hair washing for more info.

THE AFTER GLOW SETS & SLIDES- Can be purchased online here or in salon.

However, dark loose clothing is always the best thing to wear to an appointment. Examples are weather-dependent however some outfit choices could be:

An oversized tee shirt with long loose pants or shorts. Or an oversized tee shirt dress.

PLEASE - nothing with straps or tight boob tubes as this will ruin your tan. NO active wear.

For winter, long, loose, baggy track or lounge pants with a light, loose and long-sleeved tee.

The inside of your clothes may get a little bit of cosmetic bronzer on them from the tan but it easily washes out in the wash.

My Tanning Lady is now open Thursdays only, with appointments available from 10am–9pm.

For the perfect glow, choose your Thursday appointment based on when your event falls:

Friday event? Book Thursday morning or early afternoon.

Saturday event? Anytime Thursday is perfect.

Sunday event? Book Thursday afternoon or evening.

Your tan will continue to develop beautifully over the following days, so don’t worry about booking “too early”, Saturday is actually when your Thursday glow will be looking chef’s kiss.

Thursday appointments are limited and will book out in advance, so I recommend securing your glow as soon as you know your event date.

Absolutely! The more the merrier!! We can also make it fun with some bubbles to drink so let us know :)

You can book your bridal party online via the bookings tab but if you’re having trouble please reach out so I can help you.

Enter my salon via the Formosa Street car park.

Please make yourself comfortable on the couch.

I always start my tanning sessions with a skin analysis and consultation.

This is where we will have a chat about your skin type, your event, and your desired tan depth. I will always try to make you feel as comfortable as possible, knowing it can be quite overwhelming to meet someone new and then be half-naked in front of them. You will be involved in every decision and step along the way.

Wear a smile!! We sadly can't control the weather, but what we can control is how we react to the sad news!

Take all these precautions necessary to ensure you leave the salon with your tan still intact.

Park directly behind the salon.

Please wear light long sleeves and loose long pants if it looks like rain. Wear closed-in shoes such as Ugg boots or gum boots. Bring a big rain jacket and an umbrella.

We will always go that extra mile for you and walk you to your car after your appointment to ensure your tan is still flawless.

On the day of your appointment, wash and lightly exfoliate your body in preparation for your spray tan.

Do NOT wash your hair before an appointment.

Please do NOT come to your appointment with any make-up, moisturiser, perfume and especially deodorant. All of these can affect the end result of your tan and turn your skin into a very undesirable colour.

NEW SALON: Level 1, 157A Victoria Road, Drummoyne 2047

I am now located between the Drummoyne Medical Centre and the Lost Sock laundromat.

Please park in the Formosa Street carpark, where you will find plenty of free 2-hour parking.

Please allow extra time before your appointment to find parking, as the car park can sometimes be very busy.

The door is always unlocked when I am in the salon, so please feel comfortable coming inside and taking a seat in the waiting area.

We always start your tanning session by discussing your natural skin tone, your desired tan depth, your past tanning experience (if any), your skin health and the reason why we are tanning you today.

You will always feel a part of the discussion and have the freedom to choose your end result.

During your tanning session, you will be offered disposables, however, you can choose to wear your own, or go completely nude, whatever feels most comfortable for you.

You're with me for a full 20-30 minutes of tanning and talking and you will leave feeling confident, bronzed and energised.

Do not put your bra back on. Avoid tight clothing and closed-in shoes as these will ruin your tan. Avoid exercising, washing dishes or coming into contact with water prior to your first shower.

All of our tans are designed to be left on for 1-4 hours before your first shower. Please. LISTEN TO YOUR TANNING LADY!! Wait the number of hours discussed in your session before showering. Staying in your tan longer than your allocated time will result in an over-processed tan and you risk your tan turning orange!

During your first shower, use water only! Do not use any body wash or products. Start at the bottom of your legs and gently rub all the cosmetic bronzer off under warm running water. Don’t just stand under the shower head as you will get dribble marks down your tan and ruin the end result.

After your first shower, your tan will appear much lighter in colour. Don’t panic, this is completely normal and part of the process. Your tan will continue to develop and turn brown over the next 24 hours.

When you get out of the shower, pat dry with a towel. Do not rub!

To keep your tan looking as fresh as possible, for as long as possible, we recommend using Body Glow Australia's Body Wash. It cleanses and hydrates your body without stripping your natural pH levels or your tan.

Moisturise from the 2nd day onwards. We recommend Body Glow Australia's Body Moisturiser. It nourishes your body, ensuring your skin is hydrated and your tan stays perfect!

Avoid soaking in baths, spas, saunas and pools. These will strip your tan down extremely quickly.

If you’re going on a holiday where you know you will be swimming, it’s recommended that you take a gradual tan away with you and reapply every 2 days to keep your tan looking fresh.

Your spray tan will not protect you from UV rays so always wear SPF 50+ sunscreen during sun exposure.

This is actually a really important one.

If it is within your budget to get a hairdresser to wash your hair, DO THAT!!

It means you will avoid the hair-washing rules below with ease and at your own leisure.

If you wash your hair BEFORE your spray tan, you risk shampoo and conditioner ruining your spray tan, especially if you’re a bride with an open-back dress.

It’s best to wash your hair the day BEFORE your spray tan, ensuring you exfoliate your skin and back leading up to your appointment.

If you don’t want to wash your hair before a spray tan, you can wash your hair AFTER your spray tan. But it needs to be a quick wash and upside down in the sink or bath to avoid ruining your tan.

Can I get a spray tan while pregnant?

YES — once you’re past your first trimester. 🤎

As an extra precaution, I recommend waiting until after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy before having a spray tan.

From 13 weeks onwards, you’re very welcome to book in, and I take a few additional precautions to make your appointment as comfortable as possible. Masks are always provided to minimise inhalation of overspray, along with disposable nipple covers, and my studio is fitted with a state-of-the-art professional extraction unit that captures airborne overspray and provides excellent ventilation throughout your appointment.

Spray tan is applied topically to the outermost layer of the skin, but because research specifically involving spray tanning during pregnancy is limited, I prefer to take a precautionary approach, particularly during those first important weeks of development.

If you have any concerns or have a high-risk pregnancy, I recommend checking with your doctor or healthcare provider before booking.

And once you hit that second trimester? Come and get your glow, Mumma 🥰

YES! You should make sure your tan is covered with loose, long pants and a top so you can sit freely, without ruining your tan.

Your nails should always be done prior to your tanning appointment. Having colour on your natural nails protects them from staining. We always apply a barrier cream to your hands, elbows, knees and feet before commencing your tan and we will always wipe them down afterwards to ensure your manicure and pedicure remain perfect.

YES. Please do not cancel your tan because you have your period! (unless you have sever pains during that time of the month, like ENDO, PMOS or any)

I’m a woman. I get periods too. I genuinely do not care, and there is absolutely nothing awkward or embarrassing about it.

Wear whatever period protection makes you feel most comfortable during your appointment: tampon, cup, underwear, period underwear, whatever works for you. You can also choose how much or how little you’d like to wear while being sprayed. It is always your body and your choice.

My tanning room is a judgement-free, women-only safe space. Bodies do body things. Periods happen. Come get your tan 🫶🏽

YES, you can still get a spray tan while breastfeeding!

Breastfeeding doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your glow; we can simply make a few little adjustments to make your appointment work around you and your baby.

I can provide disposable nipple covers and a disposable bra to keep the breast and nipple area protected during your tan. We can also choose a faster-developing solution so you’re able to rinse sooner and comfortably breastfeed again after your first shower.

Spray tan is applied topically to the outermost layer of the skin, rather than being taken internally. I also have state-of-the-art extraction fans in the studio that provide excellent ventilation and minimise airborne spray during your appointment.

If you’re breastfeeding, just let me know at your appointment and we’ll work around your feeding schedule so you can feel completely comfortable 🤍

Sweating in tight active wear will cause your tan to fade faster.

You can still exercise with your tan on but if your tan is for an important event, it's best to avoid exercise until your event is over.
