Spray Tanning Pre-Care Instructions

• Be freshly showered prior to your arrival.

•  Exfoliate with a body scrub 24-48 hours prior to your spray tan. (Pay particular attention to knees, elbows, hands, ankles, heels and tops of feet)

•  Shave or wax at least 24-48 hours prior to receiving your spray tan.

• Be sure to continue to hydrate the skin with a moisturizer (you do not want your skin flaky and dry). You simply do not want to apply any lotion the day of your tan.

• Have dry skin. (NO lotions, deodorant, perfumes or makeup)

•  Wear or bring dark, loose fitting clothing and flip flops to put on after your tanning application.  (We recommend not putting on your undergarments after)

• We will provide women’s disposable underwear but you may also choose to wear a bikini or boxers/swim trunks for men.

• If you are a preparing for a SPECIAL EVENT it is highly recommended to:
  
  • Have your mani/pedi's done the day BEFORE your tan as soaking and acetone will remove your spray tan.
    
  • Tan 2 days prior to the event (Tan on Thursday for a Saturday event)
    
  • Do a Trial Run! (Especially Brides)
    

Spray Tanning Post Care Instructions

• Do not shower for at least 8 hours after your spray tan.
• Your first shower should only be a RINSE and then pat towel dry.

• After your first shower it is totally normal to see some of the initial bronzer wash off.
• Keeping your skin hydrated with a body lotion everyday is highly recommended but avoid any kind of lotion with Alpha/Beta Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Salicylic) in it. These ingredients will decrease the life of your tan.
• Do not exercise or perspire excessively between your tan and taking a shower.
• Do not use any product designed to exfoliate your skin.
• Avoid long baths, hot jacuzzis and swimming for long periods of time.
• Avoid using harsh soaps when showering. Liquid body washes are recommended.
