YOUR QUESTIONS, Answered.

  • Bronze Society offers in-studio tans at 162 Church St Naugatuck, located inside of The Glow Up Bar.

    For Fairfield County we are fully mobile and bring the sun to your doorstep.

  • A spray tan uses a sunless tanning solution that reacts with the amino acids in your skin to create a temporary, natural-looking bronze. No UV exposure required.

  • Your tan should look like you—just bronzier. We customize your color based on your skin tone, undertones, desired depth and lifestyle rather than using one shade for everyone.

  • Most tans last approximately 5–10 days, depending on your skin, skincare routine, lifestyle and how well you care for your tan.

  • Plan for approximately 30–45 minutes for your initial appointment. Your consultation is part of the experience—we want to understand your skin, your plans and the look you're going for before we spray.

    After your first appointment you can plan for 20-30 minutes given nothing has changed.

  • Depending on whether you choose standard or rapid will determine your rinse time. We take into consideration the type of solution and your desired depth of color.

  • Not while your tan is developing. Sweat, friction and water can interfere with the development of your color.

    If you're getting The Endurance, we'll specifically tailor your tan around your active lifestyle.

  • Let us know during your consultation. We'll take your skin into consideration when selecting your solution and can discuss the best option for you.

  • It’s always best to discuss with your doctor if you can tan while pregnant - every pregnancy is different.

    However, many women tan pregnant and the solution lies on the top of the skin so you are not absorbing any harsh chemicals.

    Again - check with your health provider prior to booking.

  • That's exactly why we take the time to consult with you. You don't need to know what color you want. Tell us what you're looking for, what you're wearing, where you're going and how you live—we'll help create the rest.

spray tan prep faq

how to prep for your bronze society glow

  • Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment. Use a gentle, oil-free exfoliant or a dry brush and pay extra attention to dry areas like your elbows, knees, ankles and hands.

    • Shave: 12-24 hours prior to appointment

    • Waxing & Laser 24-48 hours prior to appointment

    This gives your skin ample time to rebuild its PH level and help prevent irritation.

  • Moisturize as usual the day before, but arrive with clean, completely dry skin. Avoid lotion, body oil, butter or heavy skincare the entire day of your appointment.

  • Yes, but work out before your final shower and exfoliation. Once you've showered and prepped your skin, avoid sweating before your appointment.

  • Avoid:

    BODY OILS
    HEAVY LOTION
    EXFOLIATING THE DAY OF
    FRESH WAXING
    TIGHT CLOTHING
    WORKING OUT AFTER YOUR FINAL SHOWER
    HEAVY BODY PRODUCTS

  • It's best to skip deodorant before your appointment if possible. Deodorant and other products can create a barrier between your skin and the solution.

  • For the best facial application, arrive with a clean face whenever possible. If you need to wear makeup to your appointment, that's okay—we'll let you know what needs to be removed before your tan.

  • Yes! A shower before 2-4 hours prior to your appointment is ideal. Just make sure you've rinsed off all products and arrive with clean, dry skin.

    Avoid body wash or skincare products containing heavy oils immediately before your appointment.

  • On the day of your tan, keep it simple. Avoid body oils, heavy lotions and exfoliating products.

    If you're unsure about a specific product, bring it up during your consultation and we'll let you know.

  • Think oversized sweats, a loose dress or something soft that won't rub against your skin.

    Avoid tight jeans, leggings, bras, shapewear or anything that could create friction.

the most important thing to remember?

Come clean, dry and product-free.

And don't stress about getting everything perfect. Your appointment starts with a consultation, so we'll walk you through anything specific to your skin and your tan.

YOUR PREP SETS THE STAGE. YOUR GLOW DOES THE REST.

KEEP YOUR GLOW GOING

  • Wait until your recommended development time has passed. Your artist will tell you exactly when to rinse based on the solution used.

    For your first rinse, use lukewarm water and gently rinse until the water runs mostly clear. Pat dry with a towel, take a look in the mirror to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

  • Keep your first rinse simple. You don't need to scrub or exfoliate. 2-3 minutes in lukewarm water will suffice. Rub your hands in a light circle around your body to rinse of the bronzer, until the water runs clear.

  • Yes—and you should.

    Gently pat your skin dry and apply a hydrating, tan-friendly moisturizer. Keeping your skin moisturized helps your tan fade more evenly and can extend the life of your glow.

    *Your technician will recommend tan-safe products

  • Wait until your tan has completely developed before working out.

    Once you've rinsed, you're good to get back to your routine—but keep in mind that frequent sweating and friction can cause your tan to fade faster.

  • You can, but chlorine and prolonged water exposure will shorten the life of your tan.

    If you want to keep your glow looking fresh, limit pools, hot tubs and long baths, saunas & swimming in the ocean.

  • Oils can cause your tan to fade faster, so we recommend sticking with a tan-friendly moisturizer while you're wearing your Bronze Society glow.
