24 Hours Before Spray Tan
Exfoliate! 24 hours prior to your spray tan, If exfoliate any sooner 24 hours the tan won’t apply. Exfoliate with an oil-free body scrub. This promotes even coverage and lengthens the duration of your tan.
Shave = shaving is a form of exfoliating. Do not shave any sooner than 24 hours
Day of Spray Tan (Pre Care):
Best results of you can avoid shower/bath the morning of your spray tan. If you must avoid using Dove or Caress products. Rinse with cool water to close the pores. Please take this shower/bath at least 6 hours prior.
Do not apply lotions, creams, makeup, or perfumes prior to session.
Please wear deodorant just use sparingly. Using to much could cause a harmless green tint under the arms after the spray. Will rinse off during shower. No worries
Wear dark, loose fitting clothing (NO leggings or biking shorts or anything tight) and open toed sandals, flip-flops if possible. Tanning solution will wash out of most fabrics, but may stain nylons, Lycra and silk. Cotton is recommended. While your tan is developing, you do not want clothing or foot wear that will rub against the skin
Avoid wearing make up to your session if you want your face tanned.
Do not wear jewelry.
Upon Arrival:
Pull hair up and away from face and neck with a hair tie. We will cover with a hair cap (please note blond or color treated hair, could experience temporary staining). Sevier Lash Envy will not be held responsible for any hair extension damage or staining.
Change into a bikini, underwear, swimsuit, or your birthday suit! Going topless or nude is totally acceptable too. (Women only) Wear whatever makes you comfortable! If wearing a swimsuit, I recommend a dark, older swimsuit, but color is not that important, as any excess spray tan solution will wash off. Men, sorry but you must keep your swim trunks on.
Apply barrier cream to elbows, knees, heels, finger and toe nails, (this cream is provided)
After Spray Tan
Cover your car seat with a dark or black towel to prevent sweating and streaking.
Avoid wearing a bra, socks or other restrictive clothing immediately after your spray tan session.
No water contact for 10 hours = Do not wash dishes, clothes, shower etc zero water contact. This includes sweating (the moisture will smudge the tan) do not work out = sweating
Refrain from showering as long as possible, 10-12 hours minimum,but overnight is best. My regular clients use old sheets to sleep on the night of their tan, just in case the temporary bronzer rubs off on your sheets during the night. It will wash out, but just be aware.
while the solution is processing do not touch your skin for long period of times. Example- if you sleep with your hands together places on your cheeks this will cause smudging. We recommend getting a morning tan and not sleeping in the solution.
After 10-12 hours you can shower/rinse with water till the water is clear.
From this point on hydration is the key! Moisturize twice a day with a tan extender (we have a tan extender product for sale) the life of your beautiful spray tan. This is crucial to maintain your tan and aides in fading evenly. Apply lotion after each shower. Keeping skin hydrated make the tan last longer. Drinking water also will aid in hydrating the skin. Also avoid any type of DHA product that has a self tanner, ex. Jergens, Clarins, Neutrogena, St. Tropez, as these can turn your tan yellow. If you plan on swimming, apply a thick layer of sunscreen lotion, as this puts a barrier between your spray tan and the water.
