About 218 Tan

Spray Tanning Service

10 N 21st St Superior, WI 54880

Hi, I’m Katie, and I created 218 Tan with one mission in mind: helping women look and feel their absolute best. I believe a spray tan is more than just color—it’s a confidence boost, a glow-up, and sometimes even the final touch before life’s biggest moments. Whether you’re getting ready for vacation, a wedding, or just need a little midweek pick-me-up, I got you! I’m here to make sure your tan feels natural, flawless, and completely you.

At 218 Tan, every detail matters—from the high-quality solutions I use, to the customized application that flatters your unique skin tone. My studio is a welcoming space where you can relax, feel comfortable, and leave with that signature glow. My goal is simple: a tan that feels natural, fits you, and makes you glow in all the right ways. No orange. No streaks. Just you, with that extra pop of “oh hey, I look good.”

How to Prepare

It’s time to exfoliate, girl. Grab your mitt and scrub, scrub, scrub! Pay special attention to dry areas like feet, knees, elbows, neck, underarms, and back of arms. The best way to exfoliate is to use a mitt specifically for exfoliation. You will want to avoid scrubs and loofahs, as most scrubs are oil-based and will hinder your spray tan from developing properly.
If you are sunburned, have had a sunburn, or in a tanning bed in the last 4-6 weeks, consider canceling or rescheduling your spray tan. If there is one thing that doesn’t mix, it is a spray tan and sunburn.
Shave at least 8 hours before the appointment.
Discontinue the use of any retinol or retinoids.
Discontinue the use of any washes with sulfates.
Keep your skin hydrated. Drink lots of water! Avoid lotions with mineral oil or petroleum.
Discontinue using any bar soap, Dove, or Dial products. These will disrupt the pH balance of your skin and result in an uneven tan, patchiness, and sometimes orange results.
Ensure all manicures, pedicures, waxing, facials, and massages are done at least the day before your appointment. The oils used during these services will create a barrier between your skin and the spray tan application, resulting in an uneven glow.
Pregnant? Congrats! We spray all pregnant women after the first trimester is complete.

On the day of your spray tan, you should avoid lotions, perfumes, makeup, and deodorants. If your appointment is later, you can wash off your makeup as soon as possible and splash your face with cold water. This will help your pores close.
Take a shower—but just a cool water rinse. Any soaps, shampoos, or conditioners that get on your skin the day of your tan may leave a residue and impede the sunless tanning process by leaving a film on your skin, resulting in a blotchy tan.
During your tan, you can dress to your comfort level. Swimsuits, bras, and underwear, just underwear, and nude are all acceptable. I also offer a disposable thong. Whichever you choose is fine. Please remember that whatever you wear will result in those tan lines.

After your spray tan, you will want to wear loose, dark clothing and open-toed shoes. No bra, no socks. Once you do your initial rinse, there are no clothing restrictions.
You will want to avoid getting wet and sweating during your processing time. Even something as simple as the rain or your pet licking you can ruin the outcome of your spray tan. Another thing you will want to avoid is touching your skin. This can cause transfer during the developing time and result in an unwanted tan on the palms of your hands.
Rapid rinse solution must be rinsed off at the time your specialist suggests (this will be 2-5 hours after you are sprayed).
Your first rinse will be just that, a rinse! No soap. You will want to use your hand and help usher the bronzer off your skin. Don’t forget parts like your neck, face, and underarms. It may look like your tan is coming off in the shower, but it is not, I promise! When you get out of the shower, pat dry with your towel. Do not rub; this will cause your tan to fade faster. Get yourself a good body wash to compliment your spray tans, such as Dr. Bronner’s, Native, or CeraVe.
Moisturizing is key to maintaining your spray tan for as long as you possibly can. You will want to moisturize morning and night. And don’t forget to stay hydrated. Drink your water!!
Avoid over-showering, long hot showers and baths, chlorine, loofahs, and exfoliants of any kind for 5-7 days. Keep in mind that the act of soaking and scrubbing during any nail treatments will remove the tan on the legs and feet.
Apply sunscreen. Be sure to use a cream, not a spray. Safe sun care is a must!
