Morning Spray Tan: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  1. More Drying Time: With a morning tan, you’ll have the rest of the day for the tan to dry and settle. This minimizes the risk of transfer to your clothes or sheets.

  2. Flexible Shower Timing: If your tanning solution requires a few hours before your first rinse, a morning tan gives you more options to shower at a convenient time later in the day.

  3. Daytime Routine Integration: You can plan lighter activities that allow your tan to develop uninterrupted.

Cons:

  • Sweat Risks: If you’re planning to work out or spend time outdoors, sweat can interfere with the evenness of your tan.

  • Limited Outfit Choices: Loose, dark clothing is recommended post-tan, which might not align with your daytime plans.


Night Spray Tan: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  1. Convenient for Busy Schedules: An evening spray tan allows you to unwind and wake up with a developed tan.

  2. Fewer Daytime Restrictions: You can avoid daytime concerns like sweat or errands that might disturb your tan.

  3. Protected Development: Going to bed shortly after getting your tan minimizes movement, which helps the tan set evenly.

Cons:

  • Bedtime Prep: You’ll need to sleep in loose clothing or use a specialized tanning sheet to protect your bedding.

  • Shower Timing: Some solutions require a rinse before bed, so you’ll need to time your appointment accordingly.


Factors to Consider

  1. Type of Spray Tan Solution: At 360 Tans we do offer rapid-developing solutions, you will be able to shower sooner regardless of the time of day. Discuss with your spray tan artist what will work best for your schedule.

  2. Your Daily Routine: If your days are packed with activities, an evening appointment might be better. If you’re less active during the day, a morning tan can fit seamlessly.

  3. Personal Preferences: Some people prefer to see their tan develop throughout the day, while others like waking up with their bronzed glow already set.


Final Thoughts

There’s no universal answer to the morning versus night spray tan debate—it all depends on your schedule, lifestyle, and tanning preferences. At 360 Tans, we offer flexible appointment times and expert advice to ensure you get the best tan, no matter when you choose to visit.
