Pro-Tips
You can have the tan of your dreams without jeopardizing the integrity of your skin. Our years of experience have allowed us to put this together for your benefit. These tips are your guide to flawless color and glowing skin!
SPRAY TAN TIPS
24-48 hours prior to session
Shower:
to remove dirt and oils from body. Feel free to wash your hair during this time as well, because it is not recommended to use soap or shampoo for 24 hours after your spray tan.
Shave:
we suggest doing this prior to your session in order to prevent having to do it after. Shaving will always remove color from the applied area, so the longer you can hold off the better. Avoid using razors with moisture strips to reduce residue that can block the spray.
Exfoliate:
be sure to remove any dead skin or residual spray tan prior to your session. Doing so will increase the life of your tan and produce flawless results. Failure to do so could lead to a short lived spray tan and uneven fade.
Come prepared
Clean Skin:
Do not put on any lotion, make-up or deodorant prior to your session. These products will block the spray tan and interfere with your results. If you do come in with product on your body, ask for a cleansing mitt so you can remove the product off before you spray.to remove dirt and oils from body. Feel free to wash your hair during this time as well, because it is not recommended to use soap or shampoo for 24 hours after your spray tan.
Clothing:
Feel free to wear whatever you’re comfortable in for your spray tan session. If you would like disposable undergarments please ask. After your session be sure to change into loose clothing that will not rub or disturb your fresh spray tan.
Weather:
Keep an eye on the weather the day of your spray tan. If it looks like rain bring an umbrella, long sleeve shirt, sweatpants, and closed toed shoes. Remember you cannot get wet or sweat while your spray tan is processing. If you happen to get wet please give us a call right away so we can assist you.
After Care
Rinse:
Once your processing time has concluded you can rinse off in the shower using warm water only. Take your hands and using a circular motion wash off your body till the water runs clear. Do not use soap or harsh materials on the first rinse. After please dab dry with a towel.
Moisturize:
Apply religiously after your rinse and in the days that follow. This is key to maintaining your spray tan and a clean fade. Using the right kind of moisturizer is just as important. Please stay away from heavily scented, low-grade lotions containing Mineral Oil. Ask about our Professional Tanning Products and get 25% off our tan-extenders.
Activities:
Water and physical activity are allowed after your first rinse. Keep in mind that your tan will not last as long if you are swimming and engaging in physical activity on a regular basis. To help with that we recommend a self-tanner to help with the up-keep of certain areas.
Ask us about our Profesional Self-Tanners.
TANNING TIPS
Tanning Lotion:
You can achieve a tan without tanning lotion, but why would you do that to your skin? When you tan you are depleting your skin of moisture and vitamins, which speeds up the aging process. Tanning lotion contains high-quality bronzing and skin-care ingredients that not only allow you to tan faster, but they will help you maintain the integrity of your skin!
Moisturize:
We cannot emphasize this enough! As a tanner you shed your skin twice a month meaning your tan will fade a lot easier. Using the right kind of lotion is key. Stay away from heavily perfumed products and cheap drug-store lotions. Ask about our professional moisturizers made and tailored for a tanners skin. Moisturizing religiously will give you a healthy looking glow!
UV Exposure:
Moderation is key. Tanning 2-3 times a week is sufficient enough to achieve and maintain your tan. Working your way up to full time and building color slowly is the smart way to tan, so make sure you give yourself enough time to build before your event. Keep building color by switching up your exposure and lotions to avoid tanning plateaus. Please note that we do not allow clients to tan on top of a sunburn.

Liv Tan tanning salon is so clean and their beds are amazing! Stephanie was super informational and made my spray tan experience, for the first time, a great one! The tan was a great color and never came off in any awkward “patchy” way. I’ve tanned at a lot of places before and their prices and beds are definitely worth a visit. I Tan pretty easily, and it only took a couple visits for my base tan. I highly recommend it. 🤍🤍

Soooo….. I’ve never had a spray tan before. But figured I’m pretty pale and it’s already summer time. I recently seen a mutual friend on instagram get one and I was like well I’m going on vacation tomorrow ! What the heck! I remember my fiancé mentioning about how some models have a glow and I’m like oh yeah that’s her spray tan! I wanna glow too! 🙂 let’s do it I was nervous about it. But right when I met Stephanny she made me feel so comfortable and we had a super normal conversations and forgot what I was here for 🙂 Stephanny was very professional and her spray methods and tools were so cool. She has been offering spray tanning for about 10 years and it shows . 10/10 would recommend LivTan. I was glowing in Vegas for my vacation and had so many complements!

Stephanie was great I did a very last minute booking walked me through took my payment and when I arrived introduced me to Ashlyn and she was great she is training and walked me through everything I’m currently processing but the experience was nothing but 5 STAR and I’ve had spray tans from LivTan in the past and they have always been Great!
I did a spray tan with Ashlyn - kind of a trial run while she’s doing her training and so I could see how the color was before I have one done before vacation. She did a GREAT job!!! This color is amazing, no blotchy spots and very evenly applied!! I’ll definitely be coming back before vacation and would highly recommend!!
Stephanie is Amazing with air brush tans! There is little to no smell, the process is simple and she pays attention to the details!! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a little extra color! ❤️
Great place. Owner and employees are friendly and helpful.
Best tanning salon hands down! Stephanie is so amazing and up beat!! She always has a smile on her face and nails the meaning of customer service! She is definitely a breath of fresh air once you walk through those doors. Timothy and Kolena Wyman
Stephanny and her staff are so friendly. I've been tanning at the salon for over 10 years and have always had a pleasant greeting when walking in the door and great experiences with any service I receive. Beds are very clean and updated. And the results with the spray tan are amazing.
Stephanney is awesome. Very pleasant n knowledgeable. Love the lil chit chats we have when I come in to tan. My fav 20 mins of my day. My "alone to relax time"
LivTan is amazing. Stephany and her staff go above and beyond in skin care education as well as customer service. Liv Tan is extremely clean and well kept. Beds are the most advanced and top of the market. I am a very loyal client and appreciate Liv Tan so much.
Stephanie and the girls are always friendly and accommodating. They run great specials throughout the year on tanning lotions. Plus it my 10 minutes of uninterrupted peace!
I had a spray tan from Lexi. The best one I have ever had and I have had many. Last me two weeks, fades away, no splotchy patches and looks like I’ve been to the beach for about a week. She takes her time also with blending the tan with a brush. 10 out of 10 recommend her and they’re the product they use.
Me and my husband have been coming here for years!!! We love this place of business along with all the staff!!! Thank you Stephanie, you always make us feel welcome even on your crazy busy days!!! We will continue for years to come, as loyal customers!!! Timm & Adel
So good! Staff are so nice and the beds are always clean !
I had never had a spray tan done before and several of my coworkers recommended Liv Tan. I booked the appointment online (super convenient). Stephanie the owner walked me through the process and picked a tan color based on my profile. Lexi applied the rapid tan and was super helpful at putting my nerves at ease. I highly recommend Liv Tan, especially for a first time experience. I will definitely be back.
The BEST spray tan experience and results that lasted! Steph is not only a expert at her craft but she made me feel super comfortable while spraying me. I had zero streaky lines, a beautiful dark bronze color, and my tan lasted a solid week! Plus you cannot beat the price- the best around! I will be back!
I Absolutely love this place and Steph, she is extremely knowledgeable and super nice. I've been tanning here for a very long time and from the very beginning it’s been the cleanest and most welcoming atmosphere. For sure the best beds in town and the friendliest staff ever. I Would 100% recomend liv tan! I have psoriasis and the red light beds here have worked wonders for my skin.🙌🏼
Great place to tan! Very friendly staff!
