Spray tanning uses a specially formulated solution to temporarily darken the outer layer of your skin, creating the appearance of a natural tan without UV exposure.
At Barris, your spray tan is customized to complement your skin tone and desired level of color, whether you’re looking for a subtle glow or a deeper bronze.
The color develops gradually after application, giving you a sun-kissed look without spending time tanning in the sun.
Most spray tans last approximately 5–10 days, although results vary depending on your skin, preparation, and aftercare.
As your skin naturally exfoliates, the color gradually fades. Keeping your skin moisturized, avoiding harsh exfoliation, and following your provider’s aftercare instructions can help maintain a more even-looking tan.
A little preparation can make a big difference!
For the best results:
- Exfoliate your skin approximately 24 hours before your appointment.
- Complete shaving or waxing ahead of time, following your provider’s recommendations.
- Arrive with clean, dry skin, free of lotions, oils, deodorant, or makeup unless instructed otherwise.
- Wear loose, dark clothing to your appointment.
We’ll provide any additional preparation instructions based on the spray tanning solution we use.
The recommended waiting period depends on the tanning solution used.
Some formulas require several hours to develop, while rapid-developing solutions may allow an earlier rinse. Your provider will explain exactly when to shower and how to care for your tan.
For your first rinse, follow the instructions provided and avoid harsh scrubbing.
Spray tanning creates a tanned appearance without exposing your skin to UV radiation, making it an alternative to sunbathing or tanning beds.
However, spray tanning products can cause irritation or allergic reactions, and precautions are needed to prevent inhalation or exposure to the eyes, lips, and other sensitive areas.
A spray tan does not protect your skin from UV rays. You’ll still need broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher whenever you’re outdoors.
Absolutely! Barris offers custom spray tanning for weddings, bridal parties, bachelorette celebrations, birthdays, photoshoots, vacations, and other special occasions.
We also offer group appointments, with special pricing and host perks available.
For important events, we recommend scheduling your spray tan in advance so your color has time to develop. If it’s your first spray tan, consider a trial appointment before the big day.
