For best results, follow these steps…

PRE-TAN CARE

  • Schedule all other beauty services, such as manis/pedis, BEFORE your spray tan session. Waxing and facials are recommended 24-48 hours prior.

  • EXFOLIATE! Exfoliation is key to achieving a flawless tan. Use exfoliating gloves, mitt or washcloth and a basic translucent body wash. 

  • Avoid bar soaps, oil-based products, and ultra-moisturizing body washes, such as Dove and Oil of Olay, as they tend to leave a film or build-up on the skin that can affect development of the tan. 

  • Shave using a razor without moisturizing strips as they can leave residue on the skin.

  • Avoid showering right before your appointment. You may prep the day before or a few hours before your appt.  

  • When you arrive to your appointment, skin should be clean, dry and free of lotion, oil, perfume, sweat, deodorant, and make-up. If unable to properly prepare for your tan, pre-tan skin prep is available to cleanse the skin at no extra cost. 

  • Be prepared! Pack or wear dark, loose fitting clothes to wear after your spray tan. If rain is in the forecast, bring an umbrella and clothing to cover and protect your tan. 

POST-TAN CARE

  • While your tan is developing, avoid sweating and contact with water. Continue wearing loose fitting clothes. Avoid crossing legs, rubbing or scratching your skin.

  • During your first post-tan shower, it’s best to warm water rinse only- no soap or body wash.  

  • Avoid taking long, hot showers and baths. Take quick, lukewarm showers using your hands and a gentle body wash… no loofas or body scrubs. Soaping only the “essentials” can also help your tan last longer. Always pat dry with a towel… do not rub dry!

  • Wear sunscreen! Spray tanning does not protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

  • When swimming, limit your time in the water to quick dips to 5-15 minute increments. Extended periods of time in the water can cause uneven, premature fading. Avoid hot tubs or saunas as they can dramatically fade your tan. 

  • Do not use products that contain alpha/beta hydroxy acids, retinols/retinoids, acne products, etc as they can cause premature fading and patchiness. 

  • MOISTURIZE 1-2x DAILY! Moisturizing is essential for a long lasting, even-fading tan. A gradual tan product is also a great way to extend your sunless tan.
