Pre-Tan Preparation
Here is what you do before your spray tan:
- Exfoliate and shave a day before your spray tan appointment to remove any dead skin cells and ensure an even application.
- Avoid using any lotions, oils, perfume or deodorants on your skin on the day of your appointment, as they can interfere with the solution's absorption and may result in streaks or uneven color.
- We recommend wearing dark, loose fitting clothes and sandals.
Post-Tan Care
Immediately following your appointment:
- Avoid water, No sweating, exercising.
- Avoid skin to skin contact. Pants and long sleeves are best while your tan is developing! What we especially want to avoid here is your hands touching other parts of your body prior to your first rinse.
- Follow rinse time. Trust us!
- Rinse. Once it's time to rinse, shower in lukewarm water. No soap. You will see the bronzer washing away, that's normal!
- Wait at least 6 hours when doing the regular organic tan and 3-4 hours for the express tan to allow the solution to develop fully.
Maintenance
Here is the best way to maintain your tan:
- Avoid long, hot showers and baths as they can fade your tan more quickly.
- Pat your skin dry with a towel after bathing, rather than rubbing, to avoid rubbing off the solution.
- Moisturize your skin daily after you shower to help maintain your tan and avoid dryness.
- Drink plenty of water.
