The Ultimate Spray Tan Prep: How Lusso Professional Ensures a Flawless Glow
, by Lynsey Bennett, 2 min reading time
A flawless, long-lasting spray tan starts before the colour even touches the skin. Proper prep is essential to ensure your clients achieve an even, radiant, and natural-looking glow. At Lusso Professional, we’ve designed products and steps to make this process simple and effective.
Step 1: Cleanse and Exfoliate
Before anything else, the skin should be clean and smooth. Encourage your clients to exfoliate 48 hours before their appointment, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. This removes dead skin cells and creates a smooth canvas for the tan.
Step 2: Protect with Barrier Cream
Areas prone to staining or darker patches-such as hands, feet, nails, and cuticles-should be protected with a barrier cream. This ensures a more even tan and prevents over-absorption in these areas.
Step 3: Hydrate with Lusso Tan Primer
Hydration is key to achieving a long-lasting, streak-free tan. Lusso Tan Primer is a professional-grade, lightweight formula that preps the skin by:
-
Moisturising dry patches
-
Creating a smooth, even surface & Balancing the skins PH
-
Helping the tan adhere better and develop more evenly
Applied before the spray tan, it ensures your clients’ skin stays hydrated without interfering with colour development.
Step 4: The Spray Tan Application
With the skin prepped, it’s time for the spray tan. Using proper technique and consistent coverage, the solution glides on evenly over the prepped skin, giving a natural, radiant finish.
Step 5: Aftercare Advice
After the spray tan, hydration remains important. Encourage clients to:
-
Avoid showering for the recommended development time
-
Moisturise daily to maintain colour and prevent patchiness
-
Avoid exfoliating too soon to prolong their glow
Why Proper Prep Matters
The combination of clean skin, barrier protection, and Lusso Tan Primer ensures a professional spray tan that is smooth, even, and long-lasting. Prepping the skin is not just a step-it’s the foundation of a perfect glow that keeps clients coming back.
