First-Time Spray Tan
What Should I Wear to My First Spray Tan?
This is the number-one first-timer question, and the answer has two parts: during the session, and after it. Both are simpler than you're imagining.

During the session: your call
The studio is private and the session is one-on-one, so what you wear while being sprayed is entirely about your comfort. Many first-timers wear a dark swimsuit or their own underwear; some wear less. The only real rule: whatever you wear creates a tan line, so choose lines you'll be happy with. Your technician is a professional with 20 years of expertise — there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
After the session: loose and dark
- Wear loose, dark clothing to prevent streaking or fabric transfer.
- Flowy dress, oversized tee, soft joggers — anything that doesn't press on skin.
- Flip-flops or slides instead of sneakers and socks.
- Skip the bra on the way home if you can — straps leave lines in developing color.
First-timer extras
- Bring a hair tie to keep hair off your face and neck.
- Remove jewelry before the session.
- If rain is possible, bring an umbrella — water spots mark developing tans.
Common questions
Do I have to be naked?
No — wear whatever you're comfortable in. The session is private, and the choice is always yours.
What if my clothes get bronzer on them?
The cosmetic bronzer can lightly transfer before your first rinse, which is why dark fabrics are recommended — it washes out of most clothing.
