Prepare for your appointment
Following a proper prep and post care routine is essential for achieving a flawless and long-lasting spray tan. Preparing your skin before the session helps to ensure that the tan adheres evenly and smoothly.
After your spray tan session, it's important to avoid activities that can cause excessive sweating or taking long hot showers. This can cause the tan to fade prematurely. Moisturizing your skin regularly will help to keep your skin hydrated and prevent the tan from flaking or peeling. Following a post-tan care routine will help to maintain your beautiful, even spray tan for up to a 10 days, allowing you to enjoy a natural-looking glow without any streaking or patchiness.
Follow these instructions
- SHAVE - Shave the night before your appointment. For WAXING - no sooner than 72 hours before your appointment - this includes eyebrows (threading and waxing).
- EXFOLIATE & MOISTURIZE - Exfoliate and moisturize daily if you have excessively dry skin.
- 24 HR MANI/PEDIS - Manicures and pedicures should be done at lest 24 hours before your airbrush. Airbrush tanning should be the last step of beauty prep, so don't plan your nails and waxing afterwards.
- ARRIVE CLEAN - Arrive to your appointment free of all soaps, lotions, oils, makeup, and sweat. Keep deodorant to a minimum before your appointment.
- DRESS APPROPRIATELY - Dress appropriately for your spray tan! Women may airbrush topless with panties, or nude. Men must wear briefs during their airbrush. Please bring loose, dark, comfortable clothing to wear after your tan, and flip flops for your feet.
- STAY DRY! - No water contact until after your first rinse.
- WAIT 8-10 HOURS - Allow a minimum of 8-10 hours following your airbrush for your first rinse in the shower. Showers should be quick and warm - no baths, hot tubs. Wash cloths, sponges, and loofahs are not to be used. Do not use Dove soap - we have a spray cleaner available to clients. Pat dry with a towel and allow body to fully dry before applying moisturizers.
- RINSE - You may rinse your spray within 8 hours, but only for 60 seconds or less prior to bedtime. No soaps or lotions are to be used as your tan will continue to develop over the next 24 hours unless instructions are not properly followed.
- MOISTURIZE - Moisturize after your first rinse! Twice daily is preferred. It is key to ensure the life of your beautiful tan!
