Aftercare for your Tan:
💖 Bring baggy, loose fitting clothing such as long sleeve top, long pants or a loose fitting sundress, as well as flip flops or sandals. No socks and sneakers. Do not wear a bra after your tan until you rinse. We recommend sleeping in long pants and long sleeve top to avoid color transfer, you don’t want yo wake up with a white hand print on you! 😂
After your tan, make sure you don’t rub your skin, or get it wet until your 1st rinse time. No dishes, kid baths, dog baths, sweating, skin to skin contact, or friction! 😉
💖For your first rinse, depending on formula used, 8-12 hr (traditional) or 2-4 hr (rapid), take a warm water rinse shower. Use your hands to lightly “push” the bronzer off of your skin, no rough rubbing. Do not wash hair, no face wash, no shaving, no soap or body wash. Ok to go over private areas and underarms with very little soap or wash, just try to rinse it off so that it doesn’t drip down your body.
💖After 1st rinse, Pat skin dry with your towel, do not rub the skin. Apply a quality moisturizer such as Hempz Original, Aveeno, CeraVe, or Shea Moisture. Avoid Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, and any oil based lotions. No body oil. As these will strip your tan and/or cause streaking. If you want to extend the life of your tan Jergens Natural Glow is ok to use as it has a small amount of DHA in it. Apply lotion/moisturizer 2x daily, and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
💖 Do not use any Acne, Retinoid, or Acid Products on your face as it will strip the tan. Use a gentle face wash, and moisturizer free of Retinol, AHA’s, BHA’s and any other acids.
💖Color will continue to develop the next 24 hours.
💖 The next day you can shower as normal! AVOID DOVE PRODUCTS, OIL OF OLAY, BATH & BODY WORKS, and VICTORIA’S SECRET, these will strip your tan away. Use a gentle body wash free of oils, especially mineral oils and acids, such as Aveeno, Shea Moisture, CeraVe, and Summer’s Eve. Continue using a gentle face wash free of acids, retinol and acne ingredients. Apply moisturizer/lotion 2x daily and follow these tips for the next 5-10 days or as long as your tan lasts. Can wear makeup, just use a gentle remover such as Micellar water or a gentle face wash free of acids, retinoids, or acne products.
💥HOW TO MAKE YOUR TAN LAST LONGER:
~Hydrate from the inside!
~Apply approved lotion/moisturizer 2x daily. Formulas with DHA will extend the life of your tan.
~Avoid using oils, stripping washes, acne products, retinol, and acid products.
~Shave with only a new fresh razor lightly, minimize shaving if possible.
~Avoid Hot Tubs and Pools, and baths, soaking the skin will make your tan fade rapidly.
💖How to Remove your Spray Tan
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!
Now is time time for a long soak in the hot tub that you’ve been avoiding😉
Soak in a warm bath with Epsom Salts and Baby Oil. Exfoliate using a mitt or gloves, as well as a salt or sugar scrub!
Scrub, scrub, scrub!
Rinsing off in shower after is recommended to rinse off the residual oil from your skin from being in the tub 🙂
