Pre Appt Skin Preparation

48 HOURS PRIOR:

  • Schedule your manicure, pedicure, facial, waxing and hair appointments. Blow Dry's are only recommended to be done either prior to spray tan or AFTER your first rinse

  • If you are going to shave or wax (recommended) before spray tanning, do it a day before, since you need the pores to close properly after hair removal. If they don't, excess soray tan solution can lodge in those pores and this will give a spotty look

    24 HOURS PRIOR:

    Efoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!!! I cannot stress the importance of pre-session exfoliation. 24 hours prior to your spray tan, exfoliate with an oil-free body scrub. Use an exfoliating wash.

    DAY OF APPOITNMENT:

  • Take a basic shower the morning of your spray tan

  • DO NOT apply any lotions, creams, or perfumes prior to session. Use deodorant very sparingly, as harmless green tint can appear when solution and deodorant mix.

  • Wear dark ,loose fitting clothing and open toed sandals flip-flops if possible. Tanning solution will wash out of most fabrics, but may stain nylons, Lycra and silk. Cotton is recommended. While your tan is developing, you do not want clothing or foot wear that will rub against the skin

Post Spray Tan Care

AFTER SPRAY TAN:

  • Cover your car seat with a dark or black towel to prevent sweating and streaking

  • Avoid wearing a bra, socks, or other restrictive clothing immediately after your spray tan session. The looser fitting the better to avoid any steaking as the tan is developing

  • Follow the rinse off time's I provided you. You should refrain from showering until then. This is based off your skin type, which solution was used, etc.

  • If it's a late night tan, it's OK to sleep overnight with it. My regular clients use old sheets to sleep on the night of their tan, just in case the temporary bronzer rubs off on your sheets during the night. It should was out, but just to be aware this may occur.

  • Your first shower post spray tan should be just a rinse (no soap). You will notice the temporary bronzer washing away, leaving you beautifully bronzed underneath. Your tan will continue to develop even after you shower, so do not be alarmed if you're not as tan as youo expect to be, as it will continue to develop over the next 24 hours. From this point on, Hydration is the key!


MAINTENANCE FOR A SUNLESS TAN:

  • Pat dry after showers.

  • Moiturize twice a day to extend the life of your beautiful spray tan.

  • Soft Moisturizing Creme. Avoid moistures with AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) as this ingredient promotes exfoliation. Also avoid any type of DHA product that has a self tanner(potentially causing yellow tone).

  • The life of your tan will depend on the frequency of your workouts, showers, and your skin's ex[posure to chlorine and salt water. If you plan on swimming, apply a thick layer of sunscreen lotion, as this puts a barrier between your spray tan and the water.

  • It is reccommended not to shave skin till day 3 after sunless tan application, because this also is a form of exfoliation.

  • I reccommend that after every five weeks of spray-tanning, let your skin rest for 10 days. I recommend a body scrub at a professional place.

  • Healthy, hydrated skin will retain the restults of your sunless tanning session longer. Results will vary by individual.
