✨ Prom Glow Guide: Prom spray tan tips for teens

Glow that feels as good as it looks. 💫

Prom is one of the most exciting nights of the year — and naturally, you want to look and feel your best. A custom spray tan can give you that confident, camera-ready glow without the risks of UV tanning beds or patchy self-tanner. But before you book, here are a few must-know prom spray tan tips for teenstips to help you get the most flawless results possible.

📅 Schedule Your Tan 48–72 Hours Before Prom

Timing is everything! We recommend booking your spray tan at least 2–3 days before prom night. This gives your tan time to fully develop and settle into your skin, so it looks soft, even, and natural by the big day. It also allows time for any necessary touch-ups — just in case!

🏀 Heads Up: Sports + Sweating Can Affect Your Tan

If you're involved in spring sports, workouts, or other activities that make you sweat, keep in mind that excessive sweating can cause premature fading or uneven spots — especially under tight clothing or sports gear.

That said, we do offer a sweat-resistant formula designed to help your tan hold up better during activity. It’s great for those unavoidable workouts or practices in the days before prom — just know that no spray tan is totally invincible, and the best results still come from giving your skin a little break before the big night.

💨 Need a Last-Minute Option? Try Our Wash-Off Glow

Need a tan fast — like really fast? We now offer a bronzer-only, one-day wash-off glow — perfect for last-minute plans or teens who don’t want to commit to a full spray tan. This formula contains no DHA, so it won’t develop or stain the skin — it simply gives you an instant bronzed look that washes off with soap and water.

🔔 Important Note: While this is a great option for events, we don’t recommend it for white dresses. Because it’s bronzer-based, there’s a possibility of light transfer — especially if sweating occurs from dancing, warm weather, or tight dresses.

💖 Prom Spray Tans at The Tanning Room = No Booths, No Stress

At The Tanning Room, every tan is hand-applied by a Master Artist (hey, that’s me — Debra!). That means:

• No sticky booths

• No rushed 20-minute appointments

• No heavy solution or “one-shade-fits-all” formulas

  
  

Each session is carefully customized to your skin tone and your comfort level, using a precision technique that leaves you feeling dry, never sticky — and confident the moment you step out of the studio.

We take our time to ensure an even, natural-looking result with a soft-touch finish that wears beautifully — even under lights, flash photography, or prom-night dancing.

Whether it’s your first spray tan or your tenth, we’ll walk you through it step by step — with no guesswork and no pressure.
