How long before an occasion should i get a spray tan?

Question: I've never had a spray tan before and im getting one before homecoming. I was wandering how many days in advance should I get my spray tan? I don't want to be orange for homecoming!

Answer: Aim for about 48 hours. That will let the tan settle properly, so any orange overtones will dissappear and if there are issues with it you will have a chance to fix them without too much panic since you will have time to do so.
