Spray Tan.

before and aftercare

Follow this tips to get the most out of your tan!

before your tan

  • All areas you typically remove hair from, do it! No need to shave areas you don’t usually maintain, we can spray over these areas just fine. But if you routinely shave or wax, have this done 24 hours prior to service.

  • Hair appointments should be made before tan

  • Manicures / Pedicures should be completed 24 hours prior to service

  • Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate! Give your skin a thorough scrub to remove and excess dead skin and allow the spray tan to absorb evenly and last longer.

  • Hydrate! The night before your tan, hydrate your whole body and focus on areas than tend to be dryer, such as elbows, knees, feet and hands.

day of appointment

  • Come to your appointment with loose fitted, dark cotton based clothing. Try to find something that doesn’t cling to your skin.

  • Bring flip flops

  • If it is raining, make sure your clothing covers your skin completely (but still loosely) and an umbrella. Water is the enemy for the first couple hours, it will stop the bronzing in its tracks, leaving you will streaks or droplet marks on the skin.

after care

  • RAPID SOLUTION - Wait 2-6 hours (maximum 12 hours) to rinse off spray solution.

  • CLASSIC SOLUTION - Wait 12-16 hours (maximum 24 hours) to rinse off spray solution.

  • If you need to sleep in your tan, wear loose dark clothing to bed and keep the room cooler to discourage sweating.

  • Do not go to the gym or work up a sweat until after your first rinse off.

  • DO NOT use body wash in the first rinse off. You may continue to use body wash from the second shower and on, but we would highly recommend not using bar soaps, for they are highly alkaline in pH and will strip the color pre-maturely and possibly cause ‘oranging’ to the color as it fades.

  • Use an oil-free moisturizer throughout your whole tan, this will help the color to last longer and fade more evenly.

  • There is no sunscreen in the tan, and applying SPF with prolonged exposure to sunlight is recommended.

  • Do not keep the initial tan solution on for longer than 24 hours, rinse off in the recommended time

  • Exfoliate your tan off thoroughly 24 hours prior to your next spray tan appointment.

  • If you would like to enjoy a consistent color, we recommend a spray tan once a week.
