• Sensitive, dry, or mature skin types requiring gentle surface preparation

• Improves consistency across varying skin conditions

• Supports elevated, professional-level results

Spray tanning is a surface reaction. For DHA to develop evenly, the outermost layer of the skin must be clean, balanced, and free of residue.

• Witch Hazel and Orange Blossom Water help dissolve sweat and deodorant without the need for harsh surfactants.
• Physical wiping removes oils and product buildup that can interfere with solution adherence and create uneven development.
• Aloe and Glycerin provide light hydration without leaving film or residue that could disrupt application.
• Hydrolyzed Quinoa and Rice Proteins help condition the outermost layer of the skin without interfering with the reaction process.
• White Tea Extract and Panthenol support skin comfort prior to application.

The result is a clean, balanced surface that allows tanning solution to adhere evenly and develop more consistently.

• Soap-free
• Glycolic-acid-free
• No-rinse
• Fast-drying
• Witch Hazel without harsh alcohol
• Designed for sensitive skin

For optimal surface preparation, apply using a dedicated prep spray gun or continuous fine-mist bottle to ensure uniform coverage before tanning.

Use approximately 0.5 oz for a full-body service. Increase slightly when prepping clients with heavier sweat, deodorant, or product buildup.

Mist evenly over the body prior to spray tanning.

Focus on high-residue areas:

Underarms, face, neck, elbows, knees, feet.

If sweat, deodorant, makeup, or lotion is present, wipe lightly with a clean towel to physically remove buildup.

Allow skin to dry 30–60 seconds.

Begin spray tan application.

Do I need to wipe the product off?

Yes. If sweat, oils, deodorant, or makeup are present, wiping physically removes residue. If the skin is already clean and the goal is only pH balance, drying without wiping is acceptable—but wiping ensures consistency.

How does it remove residue without surfactants?

Witch Hazel and floral water help dissolve sweat and deodorant, while wiping removes oils and buildup. It cleans by lifting + wiping, not emulsifying.

How long should I wait before tanning?

Once the skin is dry to the touch, typically 30–60 seconds.

What equipment can I use?

HVLP is ideal. Continuous spray bottles are suitable for partial or retail use. Handheld bottles work for spot prep, but always wipe before tanning.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, soap-free, glycolic-free, and formulated with soothing aloe, Witch Hazel (without harsh alcohol), proteins, and Panthenol.

What about gym clients or heavy sweating?

Yes. Mist generously, wipe thoroughly, allow to dry, and proceed.

Does it change internal pH?

No. It only balances the skin’s surface, supporting optimal DHA reaction.

Why use Pre-Tan Prep instead of wipes or soap?

Wipes may leave residue. Soap may disrupt pH. Pre-Tan Prep lifts and removes residue while keeping the surface pH in an ideal range.

Do I need prep spray before every spray tan?

While some clients may arrive freshly showered, most daily activities leave behind deodorant, sweat, or product residue. Using a professional prep spray helps ensure consistent application and development.
