Spray Tanning Tips
24-48 hours prior to session
Shower:
Cleanse your body to remove dirt and oils, and wash your hair now, as soap or shampoo shouldn’t be used for 24 hours after your spray tan.
Shave:
We recommend shaving before your session to avoid removing color afterward. Use razors without moisture strips to prevent residue that could block the spray for the best results.
Exfoliate:
Remove any dead skin or leftover spray tan before your session to ensure flawless results and a longer-lasting tan. Skipping this step can cause uneven fading and a shorter tan lifespan.
Come Prepared
Clean Skin:
Avoid lotion, makeup, or deodorant before your session, as they can block the spray tan. If needed, ask for a cleansing mitt to remove any products before spraying.
Clothing:
Wear whatever makes you comfortable for your session, and ask for disposable undergarments if needed. Afterward, change into loose clothing to protect your fresh spray tan.
Weather:
Check the weather before your spray tan. If it might rain, bring an umbrella, long sleeves, sweatpants, and closed-toe shoes. Avoid getting wet or sweating, and call us if you do.
After Care
Rinse:
Once your processing time has concluded you can rinse off in the shower using warm water only. Take your hands and using a circular motion wash off your body till the water runs clear. Do not use soap or harsh materials on the first rinse. After please dab dry with a towel.
Moisturize:
Apply religiously after your rinse and in the days that follow. This is key to maintaining your spray tan and a clean fade. Using the right kind of moisturizer is just as important. Please stay away from heavily scented, low-grade lotions containing Mineral Oil. Ask about our Professional Tanning Products and get 25% off our tan-extenders.
Activities:
Water and physical activity are allowed after your first rinse. Keep in mind that your tan will not last as long if you are swimming and engaging in physical activity on a regular basis. To help with that we recommend a self-tanner to help with the up-keep of certain areas. Ask us about our Professional Self-Tanners.
Tanning Tips
Tanning Lotion:
You can achieve a tan without tanning lotion, but why would you do that to your skin? When you tan you are depleting your skin of moisture and vitamins, which speeds up the aging process. Tanning lotion contains high-quality bronzing and skin-care ingredients that not only allow you to tan faster, but they will help you maintain the integrity of your skin!
Moisturize:
We cannot emphasize this enough! As a tanner you shed your skin twice a month meaning your tan will fade a lot easier. Using the right kind of lotion is key. Stay away from heavily perfumed products and cheap drug-store lotions. Ask about our professional moisturizers made and tailored for a tanners skin. Moisturizing religiously will give you a healthy looking glow!
UV Exposure:
Moderation is key. Tanning 2-3 times a week is sufficient enough to achieve and maintain your tan. Working your way up to full time and building color slowly is the smart way to tan, so make sure you give yourself enough time to build before your event. Keep building color by switching up your exposure and lotions to avoid tanning plateaus. Please note that we do not allow clients to tan on top of a sunburn.
