Pre-Tan
The day before your tan
- Shave all areas that you normally shave
- Exfoliate with a washcloth or with one of our recommended skin products (this is not mandatory but will help)
The day you receive your tan
- DO NOT use any body lotion, body cream, make up, or perfume
- DO NOT shave the day of the tan
- DO NOT wax any areas of your body including your face
- DO NOT put on any under arm deodorant
- Wear dark, loose-fitting cotton clothing to your appointment (NO tight fitting clothing, socks, or tight fitting shoe apparel)
- Please bring a bathing suit or underwear or other suitable tanning attire to be tanned in (preferable something dark and cotton, or that you do not mind if it becomes stained)
Post-Tan
The day you receive your tan
- Once your tan is applied, allow it to dry completely (we will ensure that your application is dry before instructing you to put on your clothes)
- Wear dark, loose-fitting cotton clothing after your appointment and for the remaining part of the day
- Any minor rub-off will easily wash out of most fabrics
- Do not wet your skin (including bathing) for at least 8 hours after the tanning session. We recommend showering the next day to make your tan last longer. If you get an area wet, use a little moisturizer to even out the wet spots and wash your hands afterwards.
- We also recommend that you do not exercise or perspire excessively until the next day after your tan
- Avoid touching or rubbing any tanned areas
- All tanning colors will wash out of clothing and bedding
The day after you receive your tan
- When showering or bathing DO NOT be concerned when you see brown water coming off your skin. The color you see is the initial bronzer and it will wash off. This is part of the spray tanning process, and your skin will continue to tan.
- When you do shower or bath DO NOT scrub or exfoliate your body with a wash cloth until at least 7 days after tanning (use hand and soap only)
- Daily use of our recommended Body Lotion or Tan Extender is recommended to extend the results. You may also use a daily moisturizing lotion with or without tanning ingredients (avoid using a self-tanner with your spray tan, as this will cause the tan to fade and discolor)
- Your tan will naturally and evenly fade over a period of days (each tan should last about 7 to 10 days. Tans can last up to a few weeks with proper care and product usage)
- Spray tan does NOT contain sunscreen and will not protect you from the sun’s UV rays so continue to use sunscreen as necessary
