Tan Prep and Care Tips
​
Pre-Tan Prep
To get the smoothest most even tan, exfoliate and shave 24 hours prior to being sprayed. Shaving leaves pores open and will cause the spray tan solution not to stick to your skin properly. Do not use moisturizing soaps or body washes such as Dove and be sure to rinse of any residue.
The day of, you'll want to skip makeup, deodorant and any topical products you may normally apply as these can create a barrier and will prevent the tanning solution from applying evenly.

*It is very important to have all spa services such as waxing, manicures and pedicures done prior to the day of your scheduled appointment. *

What to Wear
Clients can wear whatever they feel comfortable in on top. Bottoms are a must. If you are wearing a swimsuit or underwear, we suggest it be dark in color. Bronzer will appear on swimsuit or underwear but will wash off in washing machine. Be sure to bring loose fitting clothes for after your tan.

Post-Tan Maintenance
Depending on the solution we decide on together, you will want to ensure you are rinsing 1-8 hours after your spray. (4 hours is for rapid solution only)
You'll want to rinse your body with water ONLY and avoid any soaps, facial cleansers and shampoo/conditioner to ensure that your tan isn't washed away.
Make sure you are rinsing in hidden places like your under arms so the solution is removed and your tan develops evenly.
(Please note, you'll continue to develop and darken even after you rinse)
Hydration is key to maintaining that summer glow, be sure to drink lots of water and apply lotion twice daily!
We offer both highly moisturizing body lotions as well as a tan extender for purchase to keep your tan looking fresh for as long as possible!
