Back-to-School Glow: Quick Spray Tan Tips for Busy Schedules

The new school year in Saratoga Springs brings not only a fresh start but also a whirlwind of packed calendars, parent-teacher meetings, and after-school events. Looking and feeling your best can boost confidence, whether you’re heading back to campus yourself, helping your kids get ready, or jumping into fall activities. At Body Glow New York, we understand the importance of a time-saving beauty routine that still delivers flawless, natural results. That’s why our spray tan services are designed for those with hectic schedules, ensuring you glow with confidence—quickly and safely.


Why Choose a Spray Tan for Back-to-School Season?


Traditional tanning—whether outdoors or in tanning beds—takes time and comes with significant risks like premature aging and skin damage. Our sunless tanning alternatives at Body Glow New York, especially our customizable spray tan and express tanning solutions, offer Saratoga Springs residents:


  • A safe, UV-free alternative to sunbathing
  • Customizable shades for every skin tone and event
  • Quick-drying, streak-free application
  • Long-lasting color, even with a busy lifestyle
  • Time-saving appointments perfect for parents, students, and professionals


Express Tanning: The Ultimate Solution for Busy Schedules


If your calendar is already filled with classes, practices, and meetings, our Quickie Spray Tan is a game-changer. This express tanning service features a fast-developing, time-released DHA formula, allowing you to rinse off in as little as two hours. You’ll enjoy a gorgeous, natural bronze that continues to develop as you carry on with your day—no waiting around required.


Benefits of our Quickie Spray Tan include:


  • Develops in 2-4 hours for ultimate convenience
  • Conditioning and hydrating formula for a radiant finish
  • Customizable for your unique undertone and event
  • Streak-free and never orange, ensuring a natural appearance
  • Low maintenance, lasting 5-7 days per application


Spray Tan Success: Time-Saving Tips for Peak Results


A flawless spray tan can be achieved even during the busiest weeks. Follow these expert tips from our Saratoga Springs med spa team to maximize your results while staying on the go:


Before Your Appointment:


  • Exfoliate the day before: Use a gentle scrub to remove dead skin and ensure even application.
  • Avoid lotions and oils: On the day of your tan, skip moisturizers, deodorant, and makeup, which can block the spray solution.
  • Wear loose, dark clothing: This helps avoid smudging and ensures comfort after your treatment.


After Your Spray Tan:


Wait before showering: Allow your tan to develop fully by waiting at least 4-8 hours (or 2 for express tans) before rinsing.

Moisturize daily: Use fragrance-free moisturizer to prolong your tan’s vibrancy and prevent patchiness.

Avoid heavy sweating and swimming: For the first 8 hours, minimize exposure to sweat and water—this keeps your glow fresh and even.


Maintaining Your Back-to-School Glow


Busy schedules demand beauty routines that keep up. Here’s how you can maintain a radiant, streak-free spray tan all week:


  • Hydrate: Drinking water and moisturizing internally and externally keeps your skin glowing longer.
  • Gentle products: Use sulfate-free and alcohol-free cleansers to avoid fading.
  • Book regular touch-ups: Plan recurring appointments at Body Glow New York every 1-2 weeks for consistent, sun-kissed skin.
