Before Your Tan- Waxing, shaving, pedicures and facials should be done 24 hours before your spray tan.
- EXFOLIATE in the shower the day of or the day before your spray tan.
- Don't use anything that is oil based the day of your spray tan (lotions, shaving cream, and body scrubs)
- Remove any body lotion, deoderant, makeup, or jewlrey
- Be careful of what you wear after your session. We recomment that you wear dark, loose, baggy clothes (NO JEANS!), and open shoes for your tan
- Tight fitting clothes and shoes can cause skin friction in the first coupld of hours after your spray tan and may affect the outcome of your overall tan
- Any rub off of the bronzer should easlily wash out of most fabrics. Avoid Nylon and Wool as these may absorb the bronzer!
After Your Tan
- Do not shower for at least 8-10 hours after your spray tan
- After showering apply moisturizer
- Avoid lotions containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA's) & Mineral Oils as these may cause skin exfoliation
- Avoid skin exfoliating activities
- No hot, luxurious baths after your spray tan!! This will make your skin exfoliate faster, as will rollin in the sand on the beach
- We recommend not getting a pedicure after your tan. Plan ahead to get a pedicure a day or so before your tan or do just a polish change. The exfoliant and water soak will take the color off your legs.
- If you plan on getting a massage or going swimming after your spray tan use a waterproof sunscreen to help seal in your tan
- Hydrated skin retains the tan longer
- MOISTURIZE...MOISTURIZE...MOISTURIZE (chose a moisturizer that does not contain mineral oil)
- Avoid: Baby Oil, Dove & Dial products, Cocoa Butter, oil based products and products containing mineral oil, Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's), Alcohol, and Hydrogen Peroxide. These will all fade your spray tan color!
