Spray Tanning tips

PRE-TANNING Instructions:

Shave, shower, exfoliate, and moisturize with a OIL FREE lotion the night before your tanning appointment.  Shop our online store to find our recommended products. R

Refrain from bar soap. Do not use Dove soap products because they leave a barrier.

Showering 4 hours before your session is acceptable if you cannot shower the night before.

Please do not shower right before the appointment!! Your skin will remain hydrated and not provide the best results.

Do not arrive immediately after a workout to your tanning appointment.
It is NOT recommended as the sweat will create a barrier.

Waxing and spa services should be completed 2 days before your spray tan.

This includes any waxing, pedicure, massage, and facials.  Oils and products during those services can leave barriers.

DO NOT USE deodorant, makeup, perfume, or moisturizers (including the moisture strip on a razors) the day of your tanning session.  Pull hair back  and off your face , neck, and ears. 

Bring dark, loose fit clothing and flip flops, avoid wearing jewelry if at all possible.

You may tan using the undergarments of your choice.

Post-Tanning Advice:

Avoid wearing tight-fit clothing.

Keep skin completely dry! AVOID water contact!

DO NOT apply any products over the developing tan.

Avoid other beauty treatments while the tan is developing.

Avoid activities that make you sweat.

Follow time provided to you exactly to ensure your tan will develop to your expectations. 

Rinse with water ONLY! NO washcloths or any other exfoliant. Hand pressure only! No soap until your next shower. You will notice the bronzer rinsing away. No worries, it’s not your tan.

Avoid peeing in the shower! This may sound funny but the PH levels in urine react to the active ingredients in the developer and will streak!

If you look streaky after rinsing, you did not get the bronzer rinsed off properly. Hop back in the warm shower and apply pressure with your hand only!

Pat dry! Avoid rubbing.

Maintenance Tips:

Every spray is different and is dependent on your skin's PH. You may have slight color differences from one spray tan to another depending on how the DHA binds to your skin with each spray session.

Moisturize Daily with OIL-FREE lotion. Shop the online store to find our recommended products.

Your tan will last 5-10 days dependent on your skin type and your bathing routines.

If you are an active gym member, pat dry when sweating.

To ensure your tan fades evenly start gently exfoliating after fifth day or at the first signs of fading.
