  • Smooth Glow Pre-Tan Prep Spray is a professional skin-priming mist designed to cleanse, balance, and prep the skin immediately before sunless tanning. This no-rinse formula removes surface oils, sweat, deodorant, makeup, and product residue while helping prevent beading and uneven DHA reaction. The result is a clean, even canvas that allows spray tan solutions to apply smoothly, develop consistently, and fade beautifully.

    Formulated without soap, glycolic acid,enzaymes, simple alcohols, or harsh astringents, this gentle, no-rinse mist works on the outermost layer of the skin to create optimal surface conditions for professional spray tanning, supporting smooth application and consistent results without compromising skin comfort.

    Note on pH Balance:

    This formula is designed to prepare the skin’s surface to complement the ideal pH range of professional spray tan solutions. It works only on the outermost layer of the skin and does not alter the body’s internal pH. The goal is to create optimal surface conditions for consistent DHA reaction, streak-free application, and longer-lasting results.

    Professional Service Protocol: After prepping with Smooth Glow Pre-Tan Prep Spray, apply your chosen AYU Sunless Spray Tan Solution.

  • 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.
