How to Get Even Color Spray Tanning Every Time

Nothing ruins a spray tan faster than streaks or patchy color. The goal is always smooth, even results that look natural from every angle. So, how do you guarantee even color spray tanning every time? At True Glow, we’ve perfected the process. It comes down to three key steps: proper prep, expert application, and smart aftercare.

Here’s your guide to keeping your glow flawless.

Step 1: Prep Your Skin Beforehand

Even tans start before you walk into the studio. Prepping your skin the right way is essential for achieving a smooth, long-lasting color.

Exfoliate 24 hours before to remove dead skin cells.

Shave or wax at least a day before your tan so pores have time to close.

Arrive with clean skin—skip lotion, makeup, or deodorant the day of your appointment.

Step 2: Trust Professional Technique

The most significant difference between patchy tans and flawless ones? Technique.

At True Glow, our trained specialists use an airbrush system with even, sweeping motions that blend seamlessly across your skin. We also adjust placement for trickier areas, such as hands, feet, and elbows, so you don’t end up with streaks or dark spots.

Step 3: Follow Aftercare Instructions

Even application doesn’t stop at the appointment. It’s also about how you care for your tan afterward. To keep your color smooth and natural:

Wait at least 8–12 hours before your first shower.
Moisturize daily with oil-free lotion to prevent dryness and patchiness.

Pat dry, don’t rub after bathing or swimming.

Avoid chlorine and hot tubs, which can strip color unevenly.

Step 4: Stick with the Pros

Uneven color often comes from cheap products or inexperienced application. With True Glow, you get premium solutions and a specialist who knows how to match your skin tone and apply your tan flawlessly. The result? Even natural color that makes you glow every time.
