Spray Tans
At Sephora, we use Sienna-X for our spray tan products. Sienna X is one of the UK’s leading and multi-award-winning suppliers of tanning and skincare products, coupled with industry-leading training. Sienna-X tanning products are dermatologically tested, vegan-friendly, clinically prove. They will provide a smooth natural-looking tan whatever your skin type.
Before your spray tan we will complete a quick skin consultation covering your skin type, the finished result you require and if applicable the occasion you require your tan for to ensure the perfect tan. You will then be invited to our private tanning booth where the tan will take place.
Care & Aftercare
Prior to your tan appointment:
- Planning, We recommend you have your spray time no sooner than 2 days prior to an event or occasion. This will give the tan time to settle and look its best.
- Get clean, Freshly showered without any makeup or deodorant. These can act as barriers to the skin
- Undress, You can tan naked if however you are not comfortable with this then wear something minimal eg. a thong and preferably disposable. You will be left with ‘White bits’ where the spray tan is unable to cover the skin.
- Remove all jewellery
- Follow all instructions given by your Sephora therapist during the spray tan
- Wear or bring loose-fitting clothing you don’t mind getting tan stains on after the spray tan
After the Tan:
- Let your tan set for at least 7-8 hours (overnight if possible) before showering or taking a bath. This allows your tan to develop. If leaving your tan overnight remember old bedsheets or plenty of towels
- Avoid wearing socks or shoes after your tanning session in order to allow the tan to develop properly on your feet
- Avoid applying moisturizers or deodorants
- Avoid wearing tight clothing for at least 5 hours. This includes tighter fitting jeans, bras, spandex, tight blouses, and shoes/socks.
- All swimming, showering, and vigorous exercise must be avoided for at least 5 hours as sweating can inhibit the development of your tan.
- Do not shave for 12 hours after your treatment.
- Beware wearing long boots after tanning as these can make your tan patchy on your legs.
Inform your Sephora technician if your suffer from any skin conditions such as sensitive skin, psoriasis, eczema etc.
Spray tans do not offer any protection to sun exposure. It is important to make sure you apply sunscreen before spending time in the sun.
