SERVICE for MEN
You've worked on your body - now make it glow!
Guys who take pride in their appearance and physical fitness know that a healthy, bronzed glow accentuates muscle definition, improves confidence, and projects an image of well-being. A great tan makes your muscles pop, boosts your self-assurance and gives off that elusive healthy and vibrant vibe.
Let's be straight – getting a tan the traditional way isn't smart. Sun damage and premature ageing are real risks with sun exposure and sunbeds. Tanning tablets? They can cause liver problems and potentially raise your risk of lung cancer. And those Melanotan sprays and injections? Don't even go there – they're unsafe and against the law in the UK.
Spray Tans are SAFE, quick and effective!
So how do we get that flawless, sun-kissed glow without the risks? Our spray tans use a clever ingredient called DHA, derived from sugar cane, that gently interacts with the surface of your skin to create a natural-looking tan. You can relax knowing that experts at the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety confirmed in 2020 that DHA in fake tan products is safe to use.
Forget those old-school formulas with that weird "biscuity" smell – our products are virtually fragrance-free and packed with amazing skincare ingredients, including powerful antioxidants to keep your skin looking and feeling its best. They are also entirely plant-based. No synthetic chemicals or parabens here and of course, are cruelty free.
Ready for your glow-up? Here's what to expect during your spray tan session. First, we'll have a quick chat about the tan you're after – whether you want a subtle hint of sun or a deeper bronze. When it comes to getting ready, it's all about what makes you comfortable - most guys go for trunks, briefs or thongs. We can supply suitable coverings for your modesty if you want. Tan lines or no tan lines? The choice is totally yours. Then, you'll step into our private, ventilated booth for a light, even spray from head to toe. And if you're looking to enhance those gym gains, just let us know. We're happy to add some definition to your biceps or torso to really make them pop.
More and more guys are discovering the secret to a year-round glow, and spray tanning is leading the charge. It's not just celebrities on the red carpet that are opting to get bronzed - spray tanning is now an affordable option for every guy wanting to look their best. We get it though – the thought of ending up looking like that infamous "Ross from Friends" episode might be lingering. But rest assured, those days are long gone. Think less DIY disaster and more red-carpet ready. Just like those A-list celebs who always look effortlessly bronzed, a professional spray tan is the way to go. With the right expert (like us!) your friends will just think you've had a fantastic getaway. Our goal is always to create a healthy, vacation-like version of you that shows off that body to its best!
How long will my tan last?
A typical spray tan will last around 7 - 10 days depending on your activity and post-tanning aftercare routine. Since the tan develops on the surface of the skin, the rate of your skin's own natural renewing cycle will affect how long it lasts. To maximise results, use a lightweight moisturiser daily. Look for a tan-extending lotion that’s designed to hydrate and prolong your tan without stripping it.
What do I wear to my tanning session?
I recommend wearing loose fitting dark clothing such as baggy trackie bottoms, loose tee and a hoodie. For the actual spraying, it depends if you would like tan lines or not. If you do, then wear dark briefs, trunks or thong that match the shape of the tan lines you would like to have. If you want an all over tan, then you will need to wear as little as possible - a modesty pouch or sock (which can be provided) for example. The tanning solution easily washes out of clothing but I would avoid wearing light coloured delicate fabrics next to the skin until after the tan has developed and you've rinsed.
How can I ensure my spray tan is even and streak-free?
The secret to a flawless tan starts with preparation. A day or two before your appointment, give your skin a good scrub, paying extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and heels since the tanning agent clings to dead skin cells, and these drier areas tend to absorb more solution, leading to darker patches.
What should I avoid using on my skin before my spray tan?
For the best results, your skin should be a "clear canvas." This means avoiding body lotion, cologne, and deodorant on the day of your tan. If you're coming straight from work, a quick shower beforehand is a great way to ensure your skin is clean and ready.
Should I shave or wax before getting a spray tan?
It's best to avoid shaving or waxing right before your spray tan. We advise doing any hair removal at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. This prevents skin irritation and allows the tan to bind properly for an even finish. However, your usual daily facial shaving routine is okay, unless you suffer from skin irritation.

PLEASE NOTE:
It’s important to remember that having a fake or natural tan does not protect your skin from UV radiation. Even if you have a tan, you still need to think about protecting your skin when the sun is strong. Be safe in the sun by seeking shade, covering up with clothes and a hat. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and 4 or 5 stars.
