Shower 12-24 before your appointment (not right before! - this can affect how the tan sets in) and be sure to exfoliate/shave. If you are waxing, you’ll want to give yourself 48 hours after your wax appt to get sprayed.

Please do NOT shower with Dove or Olay. (these products are oil based and will create a barrier between you and your tan). Use natural body washes like Aveeno or Cetaphil.

Complete all other beauty treatments at least 24 hours PRIOR to your spray tan. (this means manicures, pedicures, botox, eyelashes, facials, etc.)

Avoid using acne medications and Retinol if possible a week before your appt. If you wish you to continue using these types of products, we can avoid those areas if you wish.

Do not wear any deodorants, lotions, or oils to your appointment as they can affect how the tan sets in. Come in loose clothing to your appt. Think a baggy long sleeve, sweats, and sandals! (shorts are not recommended). You’ll want to wear clothing that covers your body to avoid your new tan transferring onto seats, beds, the palms of your hands etc.

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in while we spray! This means nothing at all, underwear, a bra - whatever you’d prefer! (if you are under 18, wearing underwear is required). *Complimentary underwear and pasties are available.

Note that if you choose to wear undergarments during your spray, you will have tan lines.

Disposable hair nets and nose plugs will be available during your appointment.

Please take your first shower at the recommended time given to you on your after-care card. The longer you wait, the darker your tan will get. The top layer of a spray tan is a cosmetic bronzer which may build up/smudge over the course of your first few hours. Don’t worry. Wait until your tan fully develops after your shower to see your final result!

BEFORE YOU RINSE:

+Avoid placing the palms of your hands on your body until you shower as it can transfer.

+Avoid letting your pet lick you unless you’re trying to look like a cheetah.

+Avoiding sleeping with your arms tucked under your face as it can interfere with the developing tan in the crease of your inner elbow area as well as on your face and hands.

+Avoid crying and avoid peeing in the shower. Both can leave you a streaky mess. Ask me how I know😅

Alright you glowing goddess, it’s time to rinse your tan! Only rinse at the time the technician has specified. NOT BEFORE! This will ensure your tan has developed properly.

During your first rinse, wash with WATER ONLY. NO SOAP. Lightly brush your body off in the shower using your hands to help the top layer of bronzer rinse off. DON’T WORRY, this is only the cosmetic bronzer layer. You are not washing your tan off. Do this until the water runs clear.

Once you get out of the shower, moisturize! Your tan will continue to develop and darken over the next 24 hours. Shower the next day with soap and water as usual.

Don’t forget to moisturize every single day (twice a day is ideal), to keep your tan lasting as long as possible! Drink your water as well.

Now that your tan has set in, it’s best to avoid excessive sweating (during the first 24 hours), chlorinated pools, hot tubs, the ocean, oil based body washes/lotions, and exfoliation/loofas. Shave with a new razor lightly if need be.

If you must do any of the above, don’t worry - you’ve got to live a little! Just know your tan may fade more quickly.
