## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does a spray tan last?
A: 7–10 days with proper aftercare and daily moisturizing.

Q: What is the 2-day rule for weddings?
A: Book your spray tan 2 days before your wedding or event. This allows the DHA to fully develop and any surface bronzer to rinse off, leaving a natural, even finish.

Q: Is a spray tan safe?
A: Yes. Professional spray tans use DHA (dihydroxyacetone), an FDA-recognized ingredient that reacts only with the outer layer of skin. It does not penetrate the bloodstream and is considered safe for most people.

Q: What is the Clean Tan?
A: Glowout's Clean Tan uses a minimal, paraben-free formulation — ideal for sensitive skin types and clients who follow a clean beauty routine.

Q: Can I get a spray tan if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes. Request the Clean Tan. Exfoliate with Cetaphil or CeraVe the day before, skip bar soap, and avoid deodorant on the day of your appointment.

Q: What is the Press + Glow Nail Bar?
A: A 45-minute hands-on workshop where guests learn to apply and style professional press-on nails. $44. No experience needed. Great for groups, date nights, or solo visits.
