SPRAY TANNING 

BEFORE/AFTERCARE ADVICE & HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR TAN LONGER

​

For best results, please follow the below steps before your tanning session.

​

The day before your Tanning session. 

  • The skin should be free from self-tanner, perfume, deodorant, and aromatherapy oils.

  • Waxing or shaving should be completed at least 24 hours before the treatment.

  • The evening or morning before your treatment, exfoliate your entire body, paying attention to your Neck, under boobies, underarms, elbows, knees, the backs of the heels, and the hands.

  • Avoid using other self-tanning products at least 2 weeks before treatment.

  • Avoid waxing or shaving at least 24 hours before treatment as open pores collect the tanning solution.

  • mani/pedi should be done the day before

  • washing hair the day before. 

  • spray tanning should be last on your beauty list to-do's. 

Day of your Tanning session.

  •  Shower, but do not apply moisturizers or oils. (no makeup)

  • Wear loose dark clothing for your tan, and some loose-fitting shoes, open-toe sandals, or flip-flops are preferable so as not to disturb the tan.

  • Avoid wearing aftershave, deodorant, or any other products on the day of your tan as these can affect the treatment, so make sure you shower before you come to the salon for your tan (do not use soap). 

AFTER

After your Tanning session. 

  • Wear loose dark clothing after your tan to minimize rubbing against your skin.

  • Do not shower for at least 8 hours after the tan (we recommend 12 hours)

  • Do not participate in any activity which may cause perspiration for at least 12 hours after treatment

  • The guide color can be left on overnight, although it may transfer onto bed linen.

  • Keep skin completely dry, and avoid water contact.

  • Shower rather than a bath, when showering.

  • Your tan will not give you protection from the sun, therefore use your usual sunscreen. 

  • no soap your first rinse. Pat dry, and moisturize 2x a day until tan is gone.

Maintaining your Tan

  • Use body lotion each day after the tan has developed to maintain the color

  • After showering pat the skin dry rather than rubbing

  • Avoid swimming pools as chlorine can bleach the tan and salt water, as these can reduce your tan.

  • When shaving uses an electric razor, or a fresh triple or quad blade razor with new blades and plenty of lubrication to minimize spray tan removal.
