Make your spray tan stand out.

 

Before it.

  • Exfoliate 24 hours prior to your session. Do not exfoliate the day of your appointment as the product can cause a barrier effecting the outcome of your tan. Exfoliation is so important as the skin will be an even canvas + help your tan last longer.

  • Shaving or waxing at least 24 hours before your session.  Shaving right before will cause streaking on your legs.

  • Get your mani + pedis the day before your appointment.  The massage oils will cause a problem with the tan.

  • Oils, perfumes, lotions + deodorant will affect the development of your tan.  Avoid using these products on the day of your appointment.

  • Many soaps, hair shampoos + conditioners and shower products leave an invisible film on the skin.  Avoid showering the day of your appointment.  Along with product film, it hydrates your skin; this means that not all of the solution will be absorbed resulting in a lighter color. NO DOVE PRODUCTS

  • Wear loose fitting, dark clothing to your tan.

Good:  sundress, loose joggers/sweat pants, loose t-shirt/tank top, loose shorts, flip flops, baggy sweatshirt

Bad:  leggings, jeggings, yoga pants, tight clothing (top or bottom), spandex clothing (top or bottom)

 

After it.

  • Keep yourself cool and dry until it is time for your rinse shower.  The solution stays on for 1-5 hours after your session, or until your spray tan artist has advised.  DO NOT GET WET until it is time to rinse.  Water will ruin your developing tan.

  • Rinse off in the shower with water only (no soap).  Make sure to rinse until the water runs clear. Give yourself about 10 minutes in the rinse shower.

  • Do not rub your skin with a towel.  Instead pat dry.

  • To keep your tan as long as possible ensure you are applying moisture twice per day.

 

Care for it.

  • Avoid waxing

  • Hot tubs will remove your tan

  • Avoid long + hot showers or soaking in the bath

  • When working out make sure you dab sweat away, do not wipe hard

  • Swimming pools, steam rooms, saunas will all shorten the life of your tan

  • Do not use bar soaps (especially Dove)

  • Make sure you moisturize 2 times a day and stay hydrated!

  • Products with drying alcohols in the ingredients will strip and fade your tan faster
