FAQs

  • How long will my tan last?
    Tan longevity depends on your skin type, activity level, and aftercare. Most tans last a minimum of 7 days, and many clients see results lasting up to 10–14 days. To extend your glow, we recommend using our paraben-free BARE Tan Extending Moisturizer.

    Will I turn orange or get streaky?
    Absolutely not. Our sugar-based solution is designed to prevent orange undertones—unlike other products made from beet or beta-carotene (carrot) extracts. Bare Tan delivers a natural golden-brown color without any unpleasant scent. Plus, our expert airbrush technicians are highly trained to ensure a flawless, streak-free finish.

  • What’s the difference between the Standard and Express Tan?
    Just the rinse time! Both solutions can be customized to your preferred depth of color and offer the same longevity.

  • Express Tan: Rinse after 2–4 hours. Expect your color to lighten slightly after the initial rinse as the cosmetic bronzer washes off.

  • Standard Tan: Rinse after 6–8 hours for full development.

  • Do you customize the solution?
    Yes! Every tan is tailored to your skin tone and desired shade. We also offer light contouring to enhance natural features and provide a subtle slimming effect.

  • Will I smell after my Bare Tan?
    Nope! Our formula is fragrance-free, so you can confidently go back to work or out for the evening without any odor.

  • I have fair skin—will my tan still look natural?
    Absolutely. We specialize in natural-looking results and will recommend a lighter shade if it’s your first time.

  • How should I prepare for my tan?
    Shower, shave, and exfoliate the day before or the day of your appointment—just avoid oil-based scrubs or soaps. Come to your appointment with clean, product-free skin. If you’re planning to wax or get a mani/pedi, schedule those before your tan.

  • What should I wear to my appointment?
    Loose, dark clothing and flip-flops or thongs are best. The bronzer may transfer to clothing, but it typically washes out of most fabrics.

  • How long before I can wear white?
    We recommend showering three times before wearing white—especially if you’ll be sweating or swimming. Any minor transfer that does occur will usually come out in the wash.

  • What do I wear during the tan?
    Wear whatever you're comfortable in! Women can wear underwear, a disposable thong (provided), or go nude—just consider where you’d prefer tan lines. Men are asked to wear boxers, briefs, or swim trunks.

  • How do I maintain my Bare Tan?

  • Avoid showering or sweating for the first 6–8 hours (2–4 hours for Express Tan).

  • After each shower, moisturize with a paraben-free lotion—our Bare Tan Extending Moisturizer is ideal.

  • Moisturizing daily helps your tan last longer and fade evenly.

  • Limit time in chlorinated pools, steam rooms, or hot tubs.

  • Is Bare Tan safe during pregnancy?
    First of all—congratulations! Our organic formula is considered safe for moms-to-be, but we always recommend checking with your doctor first.
