Follow these steps to ensure a beautiful tan.
Preparing for your spray tan:
Preparation is the key to a perfect result. Simply follow these steps to achieve ultimate results:
Exfoliate thoroughly the night before your tan.
Remember to shave/wax the day before tanning to achieve optimum results. If you are getting a mani/pedi do so before the spray tan and remove all lotion.
Right before coming for your spray tan, take a shower with a clean washcloth (No soap as it can act like a barrier to the spray tan solution) scrub off any lotion, make up and deodorant.
Do not apply deodorant, moisturizer or wear make-up to your tanning session. These can act as a barrier to your tan and prevent even absorption.
Wear loose, dark clothing and underwear to your tanning appointment. The cosmetic bronzer in the tan may rub off slightly but will easily wash out of most fabrics. Do not wear jeans or tight pants after spray tan applied.
Wear open sandals or thongs to your tanning appointment - no socks or sneakers!
Post Spray Tan Procedures:
Avoid contact with water during the first 12-16 hours after your spray tan has been applied. Water is a spray tan's biggest enemy. Even small drips can leave a streak.
Wait at least 12-16 hours before showering following your tan application. You will see color washing off the first time you shower. This is just the bronzing agent, not your tan.
Apply a moisturizer as often as required following your post tan shower. Your tan will gradually fade until your next exfoliation and tanning session. Drier skin exfoliates quicker so moisturizing between sessions is essential to keep your tan alive.
Avoid long, hot showers/baths and pat skin dry. Do not rub!
Chlorine will shorten the length of your tan so avoid swimming pools and Jacuzzis following application.
