The youglowgirl peeling glove is ideal for thoroughly exfoliating the skin before spray tanning.

When the glove comes into contact with wet skin, the exfoliating effect begins through friction. As you rub, the glove slowly becomes moist and continues to exfoliate.

It is best to scrub 12 to 24 hours before your spray tan appointment.

Important: Avoid store-bought scrubs, as they often contain oils. These can leave a film on your skin, causing your tan to become patchy. As an alternative, you can exfoliate your skin with water and sugar or sal

Ideally, you should wax, shave, or pluck 24 hours before spray tanning. If you do it too soon, your pores may still be open, which can cause the tanning solution to settle and cause spots.

Loose, dark clothing (no leggings!)

Your skin should be clean, dry, and free of any products. Wearing oil, deodorant, perfume, or makeup before spray tanning can result in a patchy or uneven tan. These products leave a layer on the skin that prevents the tanning solution from absorbing properly.

It's best to do your manicure or pedicure 12 hours before spray tanning. Make sure you thoroughly rinse off any oils or lotions used—otherwise, the tan won't develop evenly.

In case of rain or bad weather!

At your first appointment, we'll conduct a brief consultation to learn about your preferences, tanning goals, and skin type. This way, we can ensure your tan is a perfect fit for you.

Whether you want a particularly dark shade or just a subtle glow, we will create the perfect, naturally sun-kissed look for you.

It's best to go home immediately after your appointment, avoid physically strenuous activities, and give your skin time to absorb the color.

Any contact with water, whether while cleaning, cooking, or sweating while assembling furniture, can cause the fresh tan to run because the tanning solution has not yet fully absorbed.

The processing time can vary between 2-8 hours, depending on the desired tan intensity, the service chosen (standard vs. express), and other factors. Your spray tan artist will tell you when you can shower at each appointment.

The reason: The active ingredients in the tanning solution need time to react with the skin and develop an even tan.

Once you're ready for your first shower—your spray tan artist will tell you exactly when, but depending on your tan level, this can vary between 2 and 8 hours—rinse your skin with just plain water, without using shower gel or shampoo. During this phase, your tan is still fully developing, and products can make it too flaking or uneven.

After your second shower, you can shower as usual, but it's best to use pH-neutral or, if possible, natural products. Avoid heavily perfumed or oily skincare products like those from Rituals or Dove, as they can leave a film on your skin that causes your tan to fade unevenly.

After showering, do not rub, but pat gently – otherwise you will rub the tan away again

Moisturize thoroughly after every shower—even after your first one. Ideally, use a rich, oil- and fragrance-free moisturizer (not Dove or Rituals products) to keep your skin soft and your tan even and long-lasting.

We recommend youglowgirl products to help keep your spray tan lasting as long as possible. Our favorites:
- Body Butter for intensive moisturizing during the first 7 days – it helps keep the skin supple and promotes an even tan fading.
- Gradual Tanning Lotion from day 7 – it gradually refreshes your tan and visibly extends the durability of your spray tan.

Important: Do not use oils or scrubs as aftercare.

Drink plenty of water—even if it doesn't seem to be related to spray tanning at first glance. Well-hydrated skin stays smooth and supple longer, ensuring your tan lasts longer and fades evenly. Hydration from within is just as important as care from without!

You can exercise again after the processing time (i.e. after the first shower).

Always rinse your skin briefly with clean water before and after swimming in the ocean or pool. This protects your skin from salt and chlorine, prevents rapid or patchy fading, and helps keep your spray tan even and long-lasting.

Avoid tanning oils—they dissolve the tan and cause patchiness. Instead, use a cream-based sunscreen with SPF, which protects the skin and preserves the tan longer.

A spray tan usually lasts 7 to 10 days – depending on how hot and long you shower, how often you sweat, whether you exercise regularly, and how well you care for your skin.

With the right care, you can significantly extend your glow. Some clients even report that their spray tan has lasted for over two weeks.

We use only high-quality tanning solutions and always apply them carefully. This prevents an orange or blotchy complexion. Our products ensure a natural and even tan.

However, the result can also depend on how well you care for your skin before and after. For example, if the skin wasn't properly prepared, exfoliated, or the aftercare routine wasn't right, the tan can be uneven.

If you ignore the spray tan artist's instructions or use poor products after tanning, the result can look patchy or orange.

In the first few hours after spray tanning—i.e., before your first shower—some color may rub off on clothing or bedding. This is completely normal and only affects the excess bronzer, not the actual tan.

We therefore recommend wearing dark, loose-fitting clothing. If something does bleed, simply toss it in the wash—the color usually washes out easily.

Yes, absolutely! We tailor our treatment to your individual needs, your skin tone, and your desired result—whether you're looking for just a light glow or a more intense bronze tone.

At the same time, we will advise you honestly and professionally on what best suits your type.

This way you get a result that looks natural and suits you.

After spray tanning, you'll usually see immediate results. The tanning solution often contains a bronzer, which gives your skin an instant tan.

However, this effect is only temporary and shows you roughly what the final result will look like while the tan is still taking effect and developing.

The final tan develops in the hours following spray tanning. The active ingredients in the solution react with the top layer of skin, creating a natural tan. This process typically takes about 4-8 hours, depending on the product and skin type.

It's important to note that the final result depends on several factors, such as how well you prepared your skin beforehand and how you care for it afterward.

That's why it's important to follow your spray tan artist's instructions carefully.

Yes, of course. A spray tan isn't a substitute for sunscreen. UV rays can still affect your skin.

Many of our customers tan before their vacation so they don't look pale.

Please remember to use sunscreen while on vacation, as spray tanning does not protect your skin from the sun.

No, you don't need to – we'll take notes of your personal spray tan mix for you. So next time, you can easily tell us whether you'd prefer it a little lighter or darker.

You don't even have to memorize the color names, as we primarily work with our own in-house tanning solutions. Your individual glow is therefore unique and can't be replicated anywhere else.

Yes, unfortunately that makes a difference .

If old spray tan residue is still on the skin, the new tan won't absorb evenly. This can lead to patchy areas or an uneven skin texture, and even we can only partially correct this—especially if the residue is uneven.

Of course, we do our best to blend, but:

Clean, even-toned skin is half the battle for perfect results. Next time, be sure to exfoliate thoroughly! 🧽✨ Our exfoliating glove makes it super easy.

Imagine we're spraying paint over a canvas. If the area underneath is already tanned, the color will appear more intense. But if the skin there is light (e.g., under a bikini), it can't become exactly the same dark color—simply because the surface is different.

We can visually smooth out the transition - but you won't look completely the same everywhere, and that's completely normal and natural.

This is because the buttock crease is skin-on-skin (just like the area under the breast). Even if we blend the area cleanly during the spray tan, the color often "wears off" again during the development time due to constant skin contact.

This has NOTHING to do with our technique, but simply with the nature of your body - completely normal.

If you want to even out the lighter area afterward, you can use a self-tanner (e.g., tanning mousse) at home. It's best to apply it selectively with a small brush and let it dry thoroughly, avoiding the skin immediately pressing against the skin. It's best to lie on your stomach, ideally with a pillow under your hips, so that the buttock crease opens slightly and the skin surfaces don't touch each other. Avoid tight clothing, sitting, or moving. And finally: No one looks at your butt crease as closely as you do ;)
