A spray tan is a professional sunless tanning service that gives your skin a natural-looking bronze glow without UV exposure. At Let’s Glow Girls PSU in State College, PA, we custom-match solutions to your skin tone for flawless, streak-free results.

How do I prepare for my spray tan?

For best results, exfoliate and shave 24 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean, dry skin—no lotion, makeup, deodorant, or oils. Proper spray tan prep helps your tan apply evenly and last longer.

What should I wear to my spray tan appointment?

Wear loose, dark clothing such as sweatpants, oversized t-shirts, or flowy dresses. Avoid tight clothing or bras immediately after your spray tan to prevent rubbing or streaking.

How long does a spray tan last?

A professional spray tan typically lasts 7–10 days, depending on skin prep, aftercare, and lifestyle. Moisturizing daily and avoiding exfoliation helps extend the life of your glow.

How soon can I shower after a spray tan?

Shower timing depends on the solution used. Standard spray tans typically rinse after 8–12 hours, while rapid tans rinse after 1–4 hours. Your technician will tell you the best rinse time for your specific tan.

Will a spray tan turn me orange?

No. We use professional spray tan solutions and custom color matching to create a natural, photo-safe glow—never orange or streaky.

Is spray tanning safe?

Yes. Spray tanning is a safe alternative to UV tanning. Our solutions are professionally formulated and skin-safe. If you have sensitive skin or concerns, we can customize your service.

Is a spray tan safe for brides and wedding photos?

Yes! We specialize in bridal spray tans in State College and Central PA with photo-safe, even results. With the right prep and aftercare, your glow will look flawless in photos.

Do you offer mobile spray tanning?

Yes! We offer mobile spray tanning in State College, near Penn State, and throughout Central PA for bridal parties, sororities, events, and group bookings.

Will my spray tan rub off on clothes or sheets?

Before your first rinse, some cosmetic bronzer may transfer (this is normal and washes out). After you rinse, your spray tan is set and is less likely to transfer when aftercare instructions are followed.

How do I book a spray tan in State College, PA?

You can book online through our scheduling link. We offer in-studio spray tanning and mobile spray tanning near Penn State University and throughout Central Pennsylvania.

Do you offer spray tans for Penn State students?

Yes! We proudly serve Penn State students with quick, convenient spray tanning for formals, game days, recruitment, vacations, and special events.

Can You Get Lashes, Brows, and a Spray Tan in the Same Week? A Timeline for Your Perfect Glow

Listen up, queen! Whether you’re getting ready to walk down the aisle in Happy Valley, prepping for a massive Penn State formal, or just have a weekend where you need to look like a literal masterpiece, we know the struggle.

The "Event Week" panic is real. You’re looking at your calendar like, "Wait, can I actually fit in a tan, a lash fill, and a brow lamination without turning into a chaotic mess?"

The short answer? ABSOLUTELY, BABE. 💖

But (and this is a big but), you can’t just wing the timing. If you do these services in the wrong order, you risk ruining your fresh glow or having your lashes fall off faster than a freshman's motivation after syllabus week.

At Let’s Glow Girls PSU, we’ve perfected the "Glow-Up Blueprint" so you can walk into your event feeling ridiculously confident. Here is the ultimate timeline for your perfect week. 👇

The Master Blueprint: Your Glow-Up Schedule

If your big event is on Saturday, here is exactly how your week should look:

Wednesday: Your Custom Spray Tan (2-3 days before the event).
Thursday or Friday: Your Eyelash Extensions and Brow services (1-2 days after the tan).
Saturday: You wake up, look in the mirror, and realize you are the main character. ✨

A minimalist weekly planner showing Thursday: Spray Tan, Friday: Lashes & Brows, Saturday: BIG EVENT.

Step 1: The Tan (The Foundation)

We always, always recommend getting your spray tan FIRST.

Wait, really? Yes, really! Ideally, you want to book your tan at Let’s Glow Girls PSU about 2 to 3 days before your event. This gives the tan plenty of time to fully develop, settle into your skin, and, most importantly, it gives you time for that first initial rinse.

❓ Why get the tan first?

The logic here is all about moisture and development.

A spray tan needs 8 to 24 hours to "cook" on your skin before you can even think about touching water. If you were to get your lashes or brows done immediately before a tan, the steam from your post-tan shower or the tanning solution itself could interfere with the lash adhesive.

Plus, by tanning first and rinsing, you ensure that by the time you sit in our lash chair, your tan is "locked in." There’s no risk of the lash artist accidentally smudging a developing tan while they work on your beautiful face!

🚫 BIG NO: Never get a spray tan and then go immediately to a lash appointment while the solution is still developing. You will end up with "raccoon eyes" where the lash pads were, and your lash artist will not be happy with the sticky residue!

Step 2: The Lashes and Brows (The Finishing Touches)

Once you’ve had your spray tan and have done your first rinse (goodbye, guide color; hello, bronze queen! 💅), it’s time for the "cherry on top."

Schedule your Eyelash Extensions, Lash Lifts, or Brow Tints for 1 or 2 days after your tan.

❓ Why do lashes and brows later?

Lash adhesive and brow tints are picky. They want a "clean canvas" to stick to.

If you get your lashes done after your tan has been rinsed, we are working on skin that has already been bronzed. This means:

Zero interference: No tanning solution getting into your fresh lashes.
Color Accuracy: Your brow artist can see your new, bronzed skin tone and pick the perfect tint shade to match your glow.
Steam Protection: You don't have to worry about the steam from your tan-rinse shower causing your fresh lashes to fall off (since they usually need 24-48 hours of "no steam" time).

✨ GLOW TIP: When you come in for your lashes after your tan, just let your technician know! We’ll be extra gentle with the eye pads and tape to make sure we don't lift a single bit of that gorgeous bronze.

Rules for a Flawless "Combo Week"

If you’re booking multiple services at Let’s Glow Girls PSU in State College, follow these "Golden Rules" to keep your results chef's kiss:

1. Exfoliate Like Your Life Depends On It 🧼

Before that Wednesday tan, you need to scrub away every single dead skin cell. This is the most important step for a tan that lasts through the weekend. Use an exfoliating mitt and a tan-safe scrub.

2. The "Clean Girl" Face 🧖‍♀️

On the day of your lash and brow appointment, show up with a totally clean face. No oils, no moisturizers, and definitely no makeup. We want that lash glue to grip like it’s holding onto its life!

3. Moisturize After the Appointments 🧴

Once your tan is rinsed and your lashes are set, keep your skin hydrated! But remember: oil-free is your best friend. Oils can break down both your spray tan AND your lash adhesive.

4. Dress for Success (The Comfy Kind) 👗

For your tan, wear dark, loose-fitting clothes. For your lash appointment, wear something comfy because you’re about to have the best "lash nap" of your life in our cozy studio.

Why Penn State Girls Love the "Double-Up" 🦁

We know how busy life is in State College. Between classes at Willard, sorority meetings, and planning for the next big formal at the Penn Stater, you don't have time to waste.
