Before Spray Tan Care
​
Follow these Key Rules to Achieve the Best Spray Tan Possible!
All Steps to be Completed 24 Hours Prior to Scheduled Appointment
If choosing to do steps within less than 24 hours can result in your tan:
-
Not processing properly
-
Streaking and/or Blotching (lines or spots)
Do Not Use During 24 Hours Before Tan Period
-
Bar Soap
-
High pH Shower Products (such as gels)
-
Oil-based Products
-
Moisturizers
​
Using these products less than 24 hours prior acts as a barrier. Please Do Not Use. Thank You!
​
What To Do 24 Hours Prior To Tanning
-
Shave, Wax, and/or Sugar Scrub
-
Exfoliate Your Skin with a washcloth and water only
Please Especially Exfoliate Your:
-
Tops of Hands and Elbows
-
Ankles and Heels
Once again, use only water and a washcloth. Thank you!
Self and Personal Care 24 Hours Prior To Tanning
-
Manicure and/or Pedicure
-
Hair Coloring
-
Any appointments that can disrupt the process of your spray tan!
On Arrival of Your Tan Do Not Wear:
-
No Makeup
-
No Deodorants
-
No Lotion
-
No Oils or Perfumes
This will ensure a barrier-free surface for your tan to properly process!
On Arrival of Your Tan
-
Please have hair pulled back from face or tied up.
-
While Tanning, please avoid touching the inside of the tent.
-
There will be overspray that will discolor your palms.
​​
After Your Spray Tan
​
-
Please only leave the solution on for the recommended amount of time, leaving it on longer can cause over processing, which can lead to an orangy look or blotchiness.
-
Immediately after your spray tan, wear dark loose clothing such as leggings, shorts, t-shirts, or a robe. No tight clothing, period.
-
Avoid any water contact on the skin until after the first shower. Water contact stops the tanning process immediately.
-
Rubbing or itching your body/skin will remove the spray solution during the most important developing phase.
-
Do NOT apply any creams or deodorants until after the first shower.
When it's time to rinse off, please only use lukewarm water and avoid using products that are designed to exfoliate the skin, such as moisturizers that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
-
This will prematurely fade your tan. I suggest not using any Dove or Bath and Body Works products after your spray tan.
-
Pat your skin dry. Please stay out of and away from chlorinated pools, salt water, spas, excessive heat such as saunas and steam rooms as this will dramatically accelerate the fading process.
Apply a moisturizer twice daily to lengthen the life of your tan.
