Shaving Before a Spray Tan

Question: How soon before a spray tan can you shave? ie. If you shave right before you go in to get sprayed, will the spray tan fill in the hair pores and cause spots?


Answer:
You are right. If you shave immediately before spray tanning there is a good chance that you will look spotty when the bronzer in spray tanning solution gets into your pores.

The best time to shave before spray tanning is a day before.

If you are tanning in a booth without any bronzer there is much less chance of this effect happening, since it is the bronzer that seems to cause the problem.
