Before & After Care

Before You Tan

  • Shave and exfoliate 24 hours (or less) before your appointment we have exfoliate available for purchase if needed.   

  • Avoid bar soaps before your tan

  • Just before your appointment, remove all lotions, perfumes, make-up & deodorants. These products can act as a barrier and prevent the DHA in the solution from reacting properly with your skin. **Lip Balm is recommended during your session**

  • Clients should wear an old, dark swimsuit or undergarments during their session. 

  • Remove jewelry and pull hair back off of your face and exposing your neck.

  • Be assured that we are professionals and will make every effort to accommodate your needs and make you as comfortable as possible in whatever you choose to wear.  **All clients must wear some type of bottoms during their session** 

After You Tan

  • Wear dark loose clothes after your spray tan.  Tight/restrictive clothes or shoes will damage your developing tan.

  • Avoid any activity that will cause sweating and avoid showering/bathing/swimming for at least 8-10 hours.

  • Do NOT moisturize until after your first shower.

  • During your first shower you will notice some brown washing off with the water, this is bronzer.  This is completely normal.  

  • Please note if you are going on vacation chlorine, hot tubs, salt water, etc could cause your spray tan to fade quicker then normal.   

Maintenance

  • Moisturize with a hydrating lotion each day on shower damp skin. Hydrated skin will retain your tanned look for longer. We have other products available for purchase to help your sunless tan last as long as possible.  Ask your technician for details. 

  • Avoid any products that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids.

  • Avoid extremely hot showers/tubs/baths, hard scrubbing, or vigorous drying. All of these actions can accelerate exfoliation to your skin and cause your tan to fade more quickly. Be kind to your skin and dab dry.

 

Airbrush Sunless Tanning DOES NOT protect your skin from the sun.  Be sure and use Sunscreen. 

 

With proper care your sunless tan usually lasts up to 7-10 days depending on hydration, exfoliation, and individual body chemistry.

Please Note:  FDA suggests using protective eyewear, nose filters, and lip balm to protect against ingestion or inhalation during your sunless session.  Protective undergarments are recommended (bathing suit, bra underwear, etc).

We have protective eyewear and nose filters upon your request.
