At Shades Atelier, we believe proper care before and after your spray tan makes all the difference. That’s why we’re sharing our top picks for the best spray tan products in Bryan TX—and yes, you can grab them all in our studio!

Whether you’re new to spray tanning or a seasoned pro, these products will help extend your glow, keep it even, and protect your skin.

1. Sjolie Exfoliating Scrub + Exfoliating Mitt

Prepping your skin properly is one of the most important steps before your spray tan—and this combo is a total glow-up essential. The Sjolie Exfoliating Scrub is made with natural ingredients and is free from oils and harsh additives that can interfere with your tan.  It gently removes dead skin while keeping your skin balanced and smooth. When paired with our exfoliating mitt, this duo preps your skin perfectly for an even tan. Check out blog on how to properly exfoliate HERE.

Pro tip: Use this 24–48 hours before your appointment, focusing on elbows, knees, ankles, and other dry spots.

2. Sjolie Tan Extend

Want to make your tan last longer? Sjolie Tan Extend is a lightweight moisturizer enriched with a touch of DHA to help deepen your glow between appointments. It hydrates your skin while keeping your color fresh and even.

Apply daily starting 2–3 days after your spray tan to lock in that bronze glow.

3. Sjolie Face Tanning Mist

Your face naturally fades faster due to cleansing, makeup, and skincare. The Sjolie Face Mist is a lightweight, easy-to-use spray that helps keep your face glowing between tans. It’s safe for all skin types, smells amazing, and gives a natural, even color with zero orange tones.

Use a few spritzes daily or as needed for a refreshed glow.

4. Sun Bum Sunscreen

Sun protection is non-negotiable—and not all sunscreens are spray tan friendly. Sun Bum is a client favorite because it’s paraben-free, reef-safe, and gentle on your skin and tan. Whether you’re poolside or just running errands, it protects your skin without breaking down your color.

Look for their original lotions or spray formulas in-studio.

5. Hempz Lotion

Hydration is key to keeping your tan smooth and even. Hempz Lotion, made with hemp seed oil and vitamins, nourishes deeply without affecting your glow.

Use morning and night to keep your skin hydrated and your tan flawless.
