What to expect during your
Monaco Glow Spray Tan
Upon arrival for your spray tan, your certified spray tan artist will assess your skin tone to help you choose the proper color for your desired results. We use non-alcohol based solution, Aviva Labs, which will guarantee NO orange tones.
The Monaco Glow Experience takes typically takes about 10-15 minutes. We do everything including guiding you through the whole process with the technician using a
spray gun to apply the solution
evenly over your body.
You will also be pampered with all the top spray tanning essentials like foot protectant, hair net, and barrier cream to protect specific areas on your body from absorbing too much color, and complimentary glow powder.
The process is quick and usually feels cool and refreshing. Once done, you’ll be dried with warm air and complimentary glow powder to absorb any uncomfortable tackiness.
I’m Pregnant! Can I still Spray Tan?

How long do spray tans last?
Anywhere from 7 to 10 days. Unlike a natural sun tan, which deepens your skin through UV exposure, a spray tan only affects the top layer of your skin. That’s why the color fades softly as your skin naturally sheds and renews itself.
Everyone’s skin cycle is different, but there are ways to slow it down and extend the life of your tan. Plus, with the right prep, you can maximize each spray tan session and make that gorgeous glow last longer!
Before Your Spray Tan
1. Exfoliate
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and helps the spray tan adhere evenly. Use a gentle body scrub or exfoliating mitt to avoid irritating your skin.
3. Shaving or waxing should be done
36-48 hours prior to appointment.
Do this before your appointment to allow your pores to close. Doing this right before your tan can result in uneven application and darker spots where your pores are still open.
4. Avoid Lotion & Deodorant
On the day of your tan, do not wear lotions, oils, and especially deodorant. Wearing Deodorant will make your armpits temporarily turn green.
After Your Spray Tan
1. When to Rinse
With Rapid Tans you may be able to rinse off after as little as 2-4 hours.
Classic tans you may rinse 5-7 hours. Clear tans you may rinse in 8-12 hours. Remember, the longer you leave it on, the darker you will be. When rinsing just use your hands to gently cleanse the bronzer off your skin.
Keep in mind that the instant bronzer will wash away, and the final color will develop up to 12 hours that follow.
2. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
Hydrated skin holds a tan much better than dry skin. Keep your skin moisturized with a tan-friendly lotion to help slow down the natural skin shedding process.
3. Do Not Use Dove Soap
While exfoliating is great before your spray tan, avoid harsh scrubs and loofahs after your tan is applied. Do not use Dove soap. A component in Dove can unevenly remove spray tan. Instead, opt for a gentle shower gel using your hands when cleansing your body.
4. Wear Loose Clothing
Avoid tight clothing, especially after your fresh spray tan. Opt for loose, comfortable clothes such as sweats or a loose maxi dress until the tan has fully developed.
