Before, During & After

WHAT DO I DO BEFORE MY TAN?

• Your spray tan is your very LAST stop before all your events! Complete ALL your spa services at least 24 hours before your tan. Manicures, pedicures, lashes, massages etc. 
• Any waxing should be done 48 hours prior to your tan.
• If you are getting married a trial should be done at least 2 weeks before your wedding. 
• It is preferred that you shave and exfoliate the night before. Thoroughly exfoliate your entire body preferably with an exfoliating glove or dry brush. Loofas don't count as exfoliation. Avoid using any bar soaps on your skin (especially dove). Exfoliating the skin is important for a flawless tan! 
• TIP: Start exfoliating and moisturizing every day for about three to four days before your spray tan. Moisturize after you get out of the shower following every exfoliation until the day of your tan. Do not apply anything to skin prior to your appointment.
• If you must shower right before your appointment, finish off with a cold rinse to close those pores.
• Avoid wearing any deodorant, lotion, perfume or makeup to your session. These can create a barrier on the skin so the tan doesn't adhere. 
• Wear dark, loose fitting clothes. Sandals or flip-flops are preferred. Crocs also work. DO NOT WEAR LEGGINGS, JEANS OR ANYTHING TIGHT. 
• If you are wearing shorts to your appointment make sure you bring a towel to put down on your cars seat so nothing transfers. 
• If it is raining out come prepared to stay dry. (Loose clothes, rain jacket, rain boots & umbrella work great). You can not get wet until your first rinse! 

WHAT DO I WEAR DURING MY SPRAY?

• Whatever your comfort level is we are here for it. A bra and panties, bikini, thong, or nude! WE DON'T CARE but keep it dark as anything light will show tanning solution. *Please keep in mind you will have tan lines with whatever you do wear.* 
• If you are breast feeding, a bandeau type style bra is best to ensure your breasts are fully covered. 

OK, MY SPRAY IS DONE. NOW WHAT?

• DO NOT GET WET UNTIL IT IS TIME TO RINSE* (this includes sweating, dishes, bath-time, hand-washing, crying etc.)
• DO NOT TOUCH YOUR TAN!!! (scratch, rub, etc)
• Wear your dark loose fitting clothes or robe around your house and avoid any skin-skin contact until you rinse.
• Rinse at the time you are advised to. When rinsing, use warm water and NO soap. Use your hand to rub your body until the water runs clear down the drain. Don't panic! This is not your spray tan washing away! Spray tans take up to 24 hours to fully develop.
• Upon exiting the shower, use a towel and gently pat your skin dry and immediately moisture.
• Lotion and hydration are key to a long lasting tan! Hempz is what I recommend using. Other great suggestions are Aveeno, CeraVE Moisturizing Cream, 
• Every morning and every night moisturize to prolong your tan!

THINGS TO AVOID:

• Swimming, long hot showers, baths, steam rooms, & saunas. 
• Perfume applied directly to the skin.
• Lotions or body wash containing oils .
• Massages, fashion tape, bandages, and anything else that may strip your tan.
