Scrub, scrub. \u200b<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":32775},{"block_title":"Will I be naked?","block_content":"<p>Time to crack out the skin sweater; you&rsquo;ll need to be naked, from top to toe, to cover all areas with that shaded spritz. Take off&nbsp;jewellery (if you can), and slip on the disposable pants (if you want to). There&rsquo;ll probably be strange sticky feet patches too, these are to stand on, quelle surprise. They&rsquo;ll stop you sliding. \u200b<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":32776},{"block_title":"Which shade should I go for?","block_content":"<p>Now to discuss your ideal shade of bronze. It might be a good idea to show a picture at this point, of you with tan for reference. Or if, like me, you&rsquo;ve never known what a real skin tint looks like, just chat to your beautician to find a depth of tan that suits. They&#039;ll help to keep things looking natural.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":32777},{"block_title":"How is the tan applied?","block_content":"<p>Once you&rsquo;re in the tanning tent, or on the stand, the spritzing can begin. You&rsquo;ll be told to shut your eyes, and brace for impact. Take a deep breathe, and prepare for the (rather chilly) spritz of sweet-smelling tan. &nbsp;They&rsquo;ll usually start with the face, then work downward, but every pro has their own technique. \u200b<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":32778},{"block_title":"How do I need to stand?","block_content":"<p>Things can get giggly around this point. Why? Posing. Follow instructions on how to stand; from arms up and down, to something a little like Superwoman, the pose catalogue will ensure the whole body is coated in tan (yep, those knuckles too). Two all-over layers are usually applied, so you&rsquo;ll be &lsquo;Vogueing&rsquo; it for around 5 minutes. \u200b<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":32779},{"block_title":"What clothes should I wear?","block_content":"<p>Once the tan is applied, you&rsquo;ll be left in the room to get dressed. It&rsquo;s best to wear darker clothing (or it&rsquo;ll be RIP to anything white), and ideally something loose-fit. Anything tight might rub, so wide-legs on, and slip into some sandals. \u200b<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":32780},{"block_title":"Does a spray tan have an odour?","block_content":"<p>Eau de biscuit? Not necessarily. Tan formulas&nbsp;are pretty advanced nowadays, so that old-school malty scent is minimal. You can shower after 6-8 hours anyway (or less, depending on the tan). Warning: there&rsquo;s no sight more saddening than washing your tan travel down the plughole.
