Are you looking for a way to feel radiant and confident without spending hours in the sun? At Bronze & Beyond in St. Cloud, our professional spray tans give you that perfect, natural-looking glow—without the risk of sun damage.

In this post, we’ll share the benefits of a professional spray tan, what to expect at your appointment, and how to care for your tan so you can enjoy long-lasting results.

What Is Professional Spray Tanning?

Spray tanning is a quick, customized service where a trained specialist applies a fine mist of tanning solution evenly over your skin. This ensures a natural-looking, streak-free glow that develops over several hours. Unlike sunbathing or tanning beds, there’s no UV exposure, making it a safe and healthy way to get color any time of year.

How to Prepare for Your Spray Tan

The best tans start with proper prep. Here’s what we recommend:

• Moisturize for several days before your appointment to keep skin hydrated.
• Skip moisturizer in the 24 hours before your session.
• Shave or wax at least 24 hours before and avoid razors with moisture strips.
• Exfoliate the day before, focusing on elbows, knees, and ankles.
• Shower at least 4 hours before your appointment.
• Skip skincare products the day of your tan—no lotion, deodorant, makeup, or perfume.
• Wear dark, loose clothing or use the disposables we provide to avoid solution transfer.
  

What to Expect at Your Appointment

When you visit our St. Cloud spray tan studio, your specialist will review your goals and recommend the perfect shade. The solution is applied evenly for smooth, flawless coverage, and you’ll leave with an instant glow that continues to develop.

Aftercare: How to Make Your Tan Last

Your first rinse is key to a perfect result:

• Follow your tan specialist’s instructions on when to rinse.
• Use water only—no soap—for your first rinse.
• Avoid soap and body wash for 24 hours after your appointment.
• Moisturize daily after your rinse, adding a second application if your skin feels dry.
• Use our Tan Extend lotion starting on day 3 to keep your color rich and long-lasting.
• Pat dry with your towel instead of rubbing.
• Expect faster fading on your face and hands. We carry a tan water mist you can use at home to keep your glow even between appointments.

With proper aftercare, your tan can last 7–10 days and fade evenly.

When to Book Before an Event

For the best results, schedule your spray tan 1–2 days before your big event—whether it’s a wedding, homecoming, vacation, or special night out. This allows your color to fully develop and settle for a perfect finish. For big events, like your wedding, we recommend a trial tan a month before the event to make sure you look exactly as you want on our big day.
