Frequently Asked Questions
-
Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before your appointment and come with clean, product-free skin. Skip lotions, perfumes, and deodorant the day of your tan — these can act as barriers. Shave or wax at least 24 hours beforehand for best results!
-
NEVER. At The Sunless Ritual, your tan is customized using high-end solutions (including my go-to, Dolce Glow) that are rich in skincare ingredients and the perfect blend of DHA (Dihydroxyacetone)— the active ingredient that reacts with your skin to create a natural bronze. I match the right formula to your unique undertone, so the result is sun-kissed, radiant, and never orange.
-
Loose and dark is the move. After your tan, you’ll want to avoid anything tight or clingy — no bras, leggings, or straps that could mess with your fresh glow. Go for an oversized long-sleeve tee, flowy pants, and slip-on shoes or slides. Long sleeves help protect your developing tan from uneven exposure (like seat belts or skin-to-skin contact).
-
Whether you come to me or I come to you, your session is quick, seamless, and all about creating your perfect glow. We’ll start with a quick consultation to chat about your skin tone, desired depth of color, and any upcoming events. I’ll then guide you through the process and apply a custom airbrush tan using a luxury solution, which takes around 10-15 minutes. After that, I’ll walk you through your rinse time, aftercare tips, and make sure you’re comfortable and glowing before you go (or before I pack up). Expect the full appointment to take around 30 minutes.
-
Mobile tans are perfect for clients who want convenience without compromising the experience. I arrive with a pop-up tent, professional equipment, and everything needed to give you a flawless tan in the comfort of your home (or hotel, or bridal suite — yes, I travel!). All you need is a small open space with good lighting — think a bathroom, living room, or spare bedroom. Setup takes just a few minutes, and the whole process is quick, clean, and effortless.
-
Always consult your doctor first, but many expectant clients feel great about sunless tanning as a safer alternative to UV exposure. Just let me know beforehand so we can adjust your tan routine if needed!
-
If you're sunburnt or shedding like a snake, it’s best to hold off. Tanning over damaged skin can lead to patchiness and a faster fade (and no one wants that). Let your skin fully heal, hydrate like it’s your job, and we’ll get you glowing for real once you’re back to smooth. Promise it’s worth the wait!
-
Hydration is KEY! After your tan develops, nourish your skin daily with a hydrating moisturizer to maintain that healthy, radiant glow. Be gentle — avoid scrubbing or exfoliating too aggressively, and limit your time in hot water (saunas, hot tubs, or long, steamy showers). Remember, self-care isn’t just about your tan — it’s about the overall health and wellness of your skin. Stay hydrated, and your glow will thank you!
