PREP: How you prepare for your spray tan affects the application, even development, color tone, and depth of your spray tan.
- All other preparation/glam appointments (including waxing, facials, manicures, pedicures, lashes etc) need to be done 24-48hrs before your spray tan appointment. Please inform your spray tan artist if you have had any procedures done recently or going to during the 7 days following your tan (facials, laser treatments, surgeries, lashes, microblading). Some procedures and glam appointments are not recommended while spray tanning.
- Exfoliate with exfoliating gloves 24-48hrs before your spray tan appointment. Remove all old spray tan before getting a new spray tan. Any shavingshould be done at least 24hrs before hand.
- Showering is not allowed during your appointment time! Any showering during your appointment time will result in an immediate cancellation of your appointment and a no show charge will be charged to your card on file. Please shower a minimum of 4hrs-24hrs before your spray tan appointment. Do not use Dove soap.
- Please be ready for your appointment with clean, dry skin. Do not have any makeup, lotions, perfumes, sweat, deodorant, etc on your skin before your appointment unless instructed otherwise by your spray tan artist.
DURING THE APPOINTMENT:
- Ladies may go nude or wear undergarments. Please keep in mind any undergarments or jewelry worn during the spray tan application will create definite tan lines. Male clients are required to wear underwear.
- The spray tan process will take about 20 minutes. Please hold all positions until instructed to move. Avoid any skin to skin contact during your spray tan appointment. If you are uncomfortable at any point, let your spray tan artist know and we can stop/adjust.
AFTERCARE/DURING DEVELOPMENT: How long your spray tan lasts and how it fades is almost entirely up to your specific skin health and your aftercare routines.
- Wear loose-fitting, dark clothing that covers the body (long sleeves, long pants), no bra, and no shoes/socks, flip flop/sandals for after your spray tan appointment. Spray tan solution washes out of most fabrics, but please wear something that can withstand possible color transfer. Avoid strenuous activities for 24hrs.
- NUMBER 1 RULE OF SPRAY TANNING: AVOID GETTING WET, PERSPIRING, OR SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT WHILE WEARING THE SPRAY TAN SOLUTION (3-8hrs). Getting wet will stop the tan from developing. Avoid strenuous activities for a full 24hrs.
- Wear the spray tan solution for the recommended time given (3-8hrs). Wearing the solution longer or shorter than the time recommended can adversely affect your results.
- Your first rinse should be WATER ONLY. Rinse until there is no more bronzer running off of you. If you still streaks after your rinse, get back in the shower and gently use your hands to lightly rub the bronzer off in those areas. The color may look significantly lighter after your first rinse. Spray tans can take up to 24hrs to fully develop.
AFTERCARE/MAINTENENCE: How long your spray tan lasts and how it fades is almost entirely up to your specific skin health and your aftercare routines.
- Avoid anything exfoliating in the shower for the duration of your tan (no loofahs, washcloths, exfoliating washes, etc). Avoid Dove soap. Avoid shaving for 48hrs of your tan. Apply a spray tan friendly lotion daily and after every shower. Pat dry after showering and after sweating.
- Avoid prolonged water exposure or chlorine for the duration of your tan.
- Spray tan solution does not contain a SPF. Please wear spray tan friendly sunscreen during any sun exposure to avoid sunburn.
