Everything you need to know about your Glo Tan — from how spray tanning works to preparing for your appointment, aftercare and choosing your formula.
About Spray Tanning
Spray tans use an active ingredient called DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a naturally derived sugar that reacts with amino acids on the outermost layer of your skin.
The tan begins developing within a few hours and reaches its final colour within 8–24 hours depending on the formula. Because it only affects the surface layer of your skin, your glow fades gradually as your skin naturally sheds.
The colour you see immediately after your appointment is the temporary guide colour — not your final tan. Your actual tan reveals itself after your first shower and continues developing over the next 24 hours.
No. Orange or overly warm results can happen when a formula isn't suited to the skin or when development time isn't followed correctly.
Every Glo Tan is customised to your skin tone and desired result. We bring our formulas to your appointment and help you choose the best option on the day.
If you are worried about warm or brassy tones, our Fast Glo formulas include shades designed to complement different undertones.
With correct preparation and aftercare, your tan can last around 7–10 days.
Things that may shorten your tan include dry skin, hot baths, long showers, chlorinated pools, oil-based moisturisers, tight clothing and exfoliating skincare ingredients.
Daily oil-free moisturising and lukewarm showers can help extend your glow.
Around 20 minutes from start to finish.
We bring everything needed for your appointment, including our pop-up tent, spray equipment and all essentials. You simply need a plug socket and suitable space.
Our formulas are designed to be low odour. Any faint scent can occur naturally during the DHA development process and should disappear after your first proper shower.
Most clients choose a light layer on the face, but it is completely your choice.
We can also skip the face and carefully blend the neck so there is no obvious line.
Several things can affect tan development and depth.
- Hormonal changes
- Skincare ingredients such as AHAs, retinol or exfoliants
- Showering too close to your appointment
- Product residue such as oils or thick moisturisers
- Certain medications or treatments
If you are unsure what affected your result, message us and we can help troubleshoot.
We accept cash or payment by link, including Apple Pay. Our team can send your payment link via WhatsApp after your appointment.
A AED 10 charge applies to payment by link. All prices exclude VAT.

Sweat-Proof is designed for active clients, oily skin, outdoor lifestyles and hot climates.
It is our go-to option for clients who sweat regularly or want extra confidence in hot conditions.
Please note that no tan is completely friction-proof. Wear loose, dark clothing until your first shower.
Cherry Peptide is our advanced skincare-focused formula, combining colour with skin-loving ingredients including peptides, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and antioxidant-rich ingredients.
The result is designed to give a glowing, smooth and sculpted-looking finish.
Clear Glo applies without a traditional bronzer or guide colour, allowing your tan to develop without the visible colour immediately after application.
It is a popular option for brides and anyone wanting to minimise transfer before their first shower.
Your technician will always confirm your recommended shower time before leaving.
Development time varies depending on the formula selected. For the most up-to-date options and development times, see our Spray Tan Menu →
Before Your Appointment
The night before: Exfoliate your whole body, paying extra attention to elbows, knees, ankles and feet. Avoid oily scrubs.
At least 24 hours before: Shave or wax.
4–5 hours before: Shower with mild shower gel.
After showering: Avoid deodorant, moisturiser, makeup, perfume and body oils.
At your appointment: Arrive with clean, dry skin and remove jewellery.
We provide disposable underwear, a hairnet and sticky feet. You are also welcome to wear your own dark underwear, bikini or shorts.
After your appointment, wear loose, dark clothing until your first shower.
We recommend booking your tan 1–2 days before your event so the colour has time to fully develop and settle.
For weddings and major events, we recommend a trial tan 2–3 weeks beforehand.
Yes. Ideally shave or wax at least 24 hours before your appointment so your skin has time to settle.
For laser hair removal, allow at least 24–48 hours before your spray tan.
After Your Tan
Yes — completely normal.
What washes away is the temporary guide colour. Your DHA tan continues developing underneath and can deepen for up to 24 hours after your first shower.
Judge your final colour the following day rather than immediately after rinsing.
For your first shower, use lukewarm water and avoid soap where possible. Gently rinse away the guide colour and pat your skin dry.
After that, moisturise daily with an oil-free body lotion.
Avoid hot baths, long showers, chlorinated pools and harsh exfoliation where possible.
Before your first shower, the temporary guide colour may transfer onto light fabrics, which is why we recommend loose, dark clothing.
After your first rinse, transfer should be significantly reduced.
If you want to avoid guide colour transfer before showering, ask us about Clear Glo →
Avoid intense exercise and sweating until your tan has fully developed and you have completed your first shower.
If you exercise regularly, ask us about Sweat-Proof Tan →
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before swimming.
After swimming, rinse with fresh water, pat dry and moisturise with an oil-free lotion.
Once your tan begins fading, you can soak in warm water and gently exfoliate using an exfoliating mitt.
Body oils can also help loosen remaining colour before exfoliation.
Special Situations
We recommend checking with your doctor or healthcare professional before booking, as every pregnancy is different.
If you are approved to proceed, we can discuss the most suitable formula for you at your appointment.
You don't need to choose before booking.
Clear Glo is a popular option for brides because there is no traditional guide colour, while Sweat-Proof can be a great option for clients concerned about heat and sweating.
We recommend a trial appointment 2–3 weeks before your wedding.
Natural Glo and Clear Glo are popular options for clients looking for a more natural or minimal approach.
Let us know about any skin concerns before your appointment so we can help recommend the most suitable option.
We recommend waiting until your skin has fully recovered. Sunburned or peeling skin can result in an uneven tan and the colour may fade as the skin sheds.
We recommend allowing at least 24–48 hours between laser hair removal and your spray tan appointment.
Always follow the advice provided by your laser practitioner.
Absolutely. Men book spray tans for holidays, weddings, events, fitness shoots or simply to even out their skin tone and feel more confident.
Preparation and aftercare are exactly the same.
