You've just invested in a beautiful, custom spray tan—the hard part is over! Now, the most crucial 15 minutes of your tan's life begin. What you wear immediately after leaving your appointment is just as important as the preparation, because the wrong outfit can ruin your flawless glow before it even fully develops.

Here is your essential guide to post-tan attire, specifically for Westlake Hills spray tanning clients who prioritize a perfect, streak-free result.

Why Your Post-Tan Outfit Matters

After your spray tan is applied, the solution needs time to set on your skin. Even though you may feel dry, the cosmetic bronzer (and the active tanning ingredient, DHA) can be easily displaced by friction or moisture. Tight clothing—like jeans, leggings, or bras—can rub against your skin, causing streaks, lines, or uneven patches. Your goal is to wear clothing that glides over your skin until your first rinse.

The Perfect Post-Tan Wardrobe Checklist

Keep this simple checklist in mind when choosing your outfit for your appointment:

Loose-Fitting Clothing: This is the most important rule. Think oversized t-shirts, baggy sweats, or a loose sundress. The fabric should hang away from your body.
Dark Colors: While our professional solution washes out of most fabrics, dark colors (black, navy, charcoal) provide peace of mind in case any cosmetic bronzer transfers before your rinse.
Minimal Undergarments: Go braless if possible. If you must wear a bra, choose a loose sports bra or a bandeau. Avoid anything with tight elastic or wiring.
Open-Toed Shoes: Friction is a major tan killer for feet and ankles. Wear flip-flops, sandals, or loose slides. Avoid sneakers, socks, or tight boots.
