First Time Guide to Spray Tanning for Men.
Spray tan for men is fast becoming one of the most popular grooming treatments across Worthing – and for good reason. Whether you’re preparing for a holiday, a special event, or just want a healthy-looking glow without the sun damage, spray tanning is certainly not just for women.
At Bespoke You in Worthing and Hove, we’ve welcomed hundreds of men looking for a natural-looking tan with zero judgement and excellent results. If you’re considering your first treatment, this guide will walk you through exactly what to expect from your spray tan for men.
Why Men Are Choosing Spray Tan for Men in Worthing
Gone are the days when tanning was reserved for beach holidays or bodybuilding competitions. More men are turning to spray tans for a confidence boost – and for good reason. A professional spray tan gives an even, natural-looking colour, defines muscle tone, and eliminates that pale, tired look. It’s perfect ahead of weddings, work events, nights out, or simply to feel good day-to-day.
At Bespoke You, our tanning services are discreet, quick, and completely tailored to your desired tone, whether you want a subtle bronze or something deeper.
What to Expect from Your Spray Tan for Men Appointment
- The Consultation
We’ll begin with a short chat to understand what you’re after (natural glow or a darker tan?) and talk through your skin type. Our expert therapists will guide you to the best shade and product for your tone and preferences. - Preparation
Before you arrive, we’ll ask that you exfoliate and avoid moisturiser or deodorant on the day of your appointment. This ensures an even application and longer-lasting results. Don’t worry, we’ll send prep instructions in advance so you know exactly what to do. - The Spray Tan Application
You’ll be guided to a private room where you can undress to your comfort level (most men wear fitted underwear). The spray is applied evenly using a professional spray gun and takes just a few minutes. The whole process is quick, comfortable, and totally mess-free. - Drying & Dressing
After the spray, we’ll allow a few minutes for drying time and provide barrier cream where needed. We recommend wearing loose, dark clothing afterwards and avoiding sweating or showering for at least six to eight hours while the tan develops.
Spray Tan for Men Preparation Tips
- Exfoliate the day before. Pay extra attention to knees, elbows, and ankles.
- Shave or trim at least 24 hours before, not immediately before the appointment.
- Skip deodorant and aftershave on the day as it can interfere with the tan.
- Wear dark boxers or briefs if you’d rather not go nude.
- Avoid water or sweating for the first few hours post-tan.
Once developed, your tan will last around five to seven days with good care. Using a gentle moisturiser and avoiding harsh soaps or long hot showers will help maintain your colour longer.

A: Not at all. We use premium tanning products tailored to your skin tone, ensuring a natural finish every time.
Q: How long does it take?
A: The spray itself only takes about 10 minutes, with a few more for consultation and drying time. You’ll be in and out in under 30 minutes.
Q: Can I go straight to the gym or pub after?
A: We recommend avoiding sweat or water for six to eight hours post-tan. Best to hit the gym or shower the next day.
Q: Is it OK to get a spray tan before a holiday?
A: Definitely! It gives you a healthy glow from day one – just don’t skip the sun cream. Spray tans don’t offer UV protection.
