Sugaring & Spray Tans on the Same Day: Yes, You Can! Here’s How to Do It Right

We get this question all the time:
“Can I get Sugaring & Spray Tans on the Same Day?”
The answer is: Yes—absolutely! You just need to follow the right order and a few simple guidelines to make sure your skin is prepped perfectly and your tan turns out flawless.

Let’s break it down…


Why Sugaring & Spray Tans on the Same Day is Great Idea

Sugaring is a gentle, all-natural form of hair removal that removes hair from the root and gently removes the top layer of skin in the process. This makes it an ideal prep step before your spray tan.

Here’s what happens when you sugar first:

  • It removes dead skin cells and any buildup.

  • It creates a smooth, even surface—perfect for tanning solution.

  • Your tan lasts longer because it's bonding to fresh, clean skin.

  • There’s no oily residue left behind (unlike waxing), so the tanning solution adheres beautifully.

In short: Sugaring is the ultimate pre-tan prep.


The Right Timing: When to Sugar and When to Tan

If you’re planning to do both on the same day, always sugar firstnever the other way around. Sugaring removes the top layer of skin cells, and if you do it after a spray tan, it will literally take your fresh glow with it.


Post-Sugaring Dos and Don'ts (Before Tanning)

After sugaring and before your spray tan:

  • DO NOT apply lotions, oils, deodorants, or perfume.

  • DO NOT exfoliate again—you’ve already done that through sugaring!

  • DO wear loose, breathable clothing to your tanning appointment.

  • DO ask your tanning artist for any additional pre-tan tips based on your skin type.

Benefits of Same-Day Sugaring + Tanning

  • One and done: No need to book multiple appointments on different days.

  • Perfectly prepped skin: Your tan goes on smoother and looks more natural.

  • Longer-lasting results: Hair-free skin means fewer uneven patches as your tan fades.

  • Time-saving: Life is busy—why not knock out two beauty routines at once?
