Pre-event timing
24-48 hours before the event
Spray tan develops over 8-24 hours. Immediate-after appearance is darker than final shade. 48-hour development typically produces best appearance for events. For weddings, plan trial spray tan 2-3 weeks before to confirm the right shade.
Longevity factors
5-10 days typical, with variation by:
- **Skin type**: oily fades faster
- **Prep**: pre-application exfoliation extends
- **Aftercare**: gentle cleansing, moisturizer, avoid harsh exfoliants
- **Activity**: swimming and sweating compress
Miami's outdoor beach culture means many clients run monthly maintenance cycles.
