Tan Care
Here is what you do before your spray tan:
Waxing if needed should be completed at least 48 hours prior to your session. Full body deep exfoliation and shaving with a razor that lacks a moisture strip should be completed at least 24 hours before. Stop any retinol 24 hours before if possible, do not use with a spray tan either.
Full body exfoliation is essential. An exfoliating mitt is recommended and available. Stray away from a body scrub/ loofa combo as this may leave a uneven residue barrier.
Spa Treatments such as facials, botox, fillers, pedicures, manicures, massages should be completed minimum 48 hours before your spray tan session, due to the barriers that spa treatments can create.
Your spray tan should always be the last beauty treatment completed when prepping for an event.
Here is what you do the day of your spray tan session:
If you must shower before your session, be sure it's a minimum 4 hours before, with water only is best to allow your ph levels to neutralize. If you must shower within 4 hours, run cold water at the end of your shower.
Forgo any lotions, oils, deodorant, perfume and makeup the day of your session. All of these can create a barrier on the skin that the tan will have difficulty adhering to.
Wear dark, loose fit clothing.
Here is what you do after your spray tan:
While you are "marinating / processing", it is important to stay dry and cool. Plan to relax!
Do not get wet, sweat or apply any products with your fresh spray tan until your initial rinse.
Wear long, loose fitted, dark clothing with open toed sandals to prevent skin to skin transfer or anything from touching your fresh tan! Please note that the cosmetic bronzer or drying powder may transfer to your items at first, but is water soluble and should wash out. If you have pets, do not let them jump or lick you.
No touching! If you touch yourself while your tan is developing, this could result in stained palms.
Initial rinse : Follow your recommended rinse time and do not use soap, just water!
This is a calculated, special formulated tan customized for you. Your rinse time is not optional- if you do not rinse at your designated time your tan may develop too light or too dark. Water should be lukewarm. If you see streaks after getting out of the shower, hop back in and use your hand to guide the leftover cosmetic completely bronzer off. Finally, pat your skin to dry. Do not rub or exfoliate. It's best to not apply any products until 24 hours after your spray tan application because the tan needs to oxidize in order to fully develop. Drink lots of water and begin moisturizer after 24 hours of your spray tan is applied.
Here is the best way to maintain your tan:
Our Luxury Body Moisturizer & Luxury Tan Extender!
Stay hydrated! The more hydrated your skin is, the longer your spray tan will last. Your moisturizer and body wash should be clear- free of mineral oil, sulfates, dyes and artificial fragrance. Our luxury body lotion is nourishing with and without a spray tan for an ultimate botanical boost of daily hydration! You may use a tan extending lotion that contains DHA after day three.
In addition, be sure to drink lots of water!
Future showers: Avoid using any loofahs or wash rags during your showers. It is best to wash with hands only, in areas where needed (pits/privates) to ensure a long lasting tan. A gentle clear gel based, artificial dye and fragrance free, mineral oil free, sulfate free, paraben free body gel is best.
Activitys: Avoid swimming in the pool / ocean for long periods of time, long hot showers/ baths/ saunas, and excessive sweating. Avoid exfoliating or any exfoliating products after your spray tan. Your tan will not last very long if you are planning to do any of these activities. I recommend to wear a non-arasole sunscreen daily- Sunbum or Coola rub on sunscreen, taking a fresh water rinse to remove any chemicals or salt off, and moisturize after.
