So, you're thinking about getting a spray tan, perhaps in the vibrant city of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Well, buckle up because we've got the inside scoop for you!
Today's blog post is a collaboration with the fabulous Holly from No Shade Spray Tanning. We recently had a chit-chat on Instagram Live (check it out here), where she spilled the beans on everything spray tan-related.
Holly's got locations in South Park, Birkdale, Greensboro, and Wilmington – basically, she's got North Carolina covered in a sun-kissed glow.
Why No Shade Spray Tanning?
Now, let's address the elephant in the room – the spray tan industry can be a bit like the Wild West. Anyone can grab a spray tanning machine and call themselves a tan expert. But with Holly's crew, transparency is the name of the game. She lays it all out – realistic results, the solution they use, and the ongoing training her team undergoes to ensure you have the best experience. If you're scouting on social media, look for the proof in the tan – if they're showing the glow you desire, you're on the right track.
Pre-Session Details: Do's and Don'ts
Do Not:
Shower, shave, or exfoliate 24-48 hours prior to your session.

There's a myth floating around that you should shower right before your appointment. Wrong move! Showering right before doesn't allow your pores to fully close, affecting the quality of your spray tan. Hold off on the shower, shave, and exfoliation in that crucial 24-48 hour window.
Post-session Details: Lock in that Glow
Holly's spray tans are like a beauty secret – they're guaranteed to keep you glowing for a solid 7-10 days. But, of course, there are some steps you can take to ensure your tan stays put.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize:
Use a sulfate-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Dry, flaky skin is the enemy of a long-lasting spray tan.
Avoid Shaving and Exfoliating:
Once you're beautifully bronzed, keep the razor away. Shaving and exfoliating can strip away your tan, so let those dead skin cells do their thing naturally.
Sulfate-Free Body Wash:
Your regular body wash may not be your best friend right now. Switch to a sulfate-free option to keep that tan looking fabulous.
Say No to Soaking:
Steer clear of long baths, pools, or hot tubs. Less time in water means more time for your tan to shine.
