1.Plan Ahead
Timing is everything when it comes to achieving a beautiful tan! For the best results, start your tanning routine at least a week before Halloween. This gives your skin enough time to reach the desired shade and ensures an even, natural glow. You can always adjust your sessions closer to the big day to fine-tune your look.
iTAN Pro Tip: Our Mystic Kyss and VersaSpa Pro spray tans can develop in as little as 4-6 hours with a Balancer, so if you’re short on time, a spray tan is always the way to go for a last-minute glow!
2.Exfoliate
Before any tanning session, exfoliating your skin is a must! Removing dead skin cells creates a smooth canvas for the tan to adhere to, preventing streaks and uneven patches. Use a gentle scrub or a dry brush, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. Proper exfoliation ensures your tan lasts longer and looks more polished.
3.Hydrate Your Skin
Dry skin can make your tan look patchy and fade unevenly. In the days leading up to Halloween, focus on hydrating your skin from the inside out by drinking plenty of water and using a daily lotion or moisturizer. Keep your skin soft and smooth for a tan that looks vibrant and lasts longer!
iTAN Pro Tip: Use a tan-friendly, oil-free lotion to keep your skin hydrated without disrupting your tan, such as the Hemp Nation After Care lotion available at iTAN.
4.Custom Tan to Match Your Costume
Whether you’re going for a sun-kissed goddess look or a deep bronzed warrior vibe, your tan should complement your Halloween costume. iTAN’s spray tanning options allow you to choose the shade that best suits your look. Our Salon Consultants can help you achieve anything from a subtle glow to a dramatic, deeper tan.
iTAN Pro Tip: For costumes that show more skin, like a swimsuit, superhero bodysuit, or crop top, a full-body spray tan will ensure an even tone from head to toe!
iTAN Pro Tip: Try the Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Glove or the Evolv. Bamboo Body Scrub available at iTAN for the perfect pre-tan prep!
5.Extend Your Tan Post-Halloween
Just because Halloween ends doesn’t mean your tan has to! To keep that glow lasting through fall, maintain your tan with gentle care. Moisturize daily and consider touch-up sessions to maintain your glow.
iTAN Pro Tip: Use a tan-extending lotion to keep your color vibrant for weeks. iTAN has a variety of aftercare products to help your tan stay fresh, even after all the Halloween festivities.
