Tanning Guide

Preparation for Your Spray Tan

v  Within 24 hours of the tan (night before or morning of) please shower, shave (anywhere you normally would) and exfoliate well with a non-oil based cleanser (plain ivory soap works best do not use dove products.)

v  Please avoid any lotions, deodorants or makeup.  If makeup or deodorant is necessary for the day, please remove before the tan as this can prevent your tan from developing properly.

v  If you are scheduled for a mani/pedi/ or bikini wax, get it before the spray tan so it doesn’t soak off .

 

During Your Tan

v  You may wear as little or as much as you like, realizing that anything you do wear will wear a tan line.

v  The tanning solution washes out of clothing, however we recommend avoiding light/white colors.

 

After Your Tan

v  Please wear dark, looser fitting clothing (preferably long pants and long sleeves)

v  Most importantly, avoid getting wet, including sweating for 6-8 hours (overnight if possible) for your tan to set. ** Rapid rinse shower 2-4 hours 

v  Your first shower, should be just a rinse, no soap if you can avoid it. Pat yourself dry after you rinse; rubbing your skin may rub off your tan.  You will notice the bronzer wash off in the shower. Do not worry, this is not your tan.  Your tan will take 24 hours to fully develop.

v  It is important to moisturize (after your first rinse) to help prolong the tan and avoid harsh soaps like dove and exfoliating your skin.

v  Avoid hot tubs/saunas/ soaking in hot water after your tan; it will fade quicker in these environments.
