Avoid water, sweating, and skin to skin contact before showering.
Shower at the recommended time provided by your technician.
Your first shower post-tan should be with lukewarm water. Remember to rub off all the bronzer or else you may be at risk for streaking.
Always pat dry with your towel and do not rub.
MOISTURIZE. MOISTURIZE. MOISTURIZE.
Use spray tan-safe products, including body washes and moisturizers to help your tan last longer and fade evenly.
Avoid retinols and other actives. Vitamin C is safe to use.
Try to spray perfume on your hair and clothes rather than on the skin and use a clean deodorant.
Swimming, pools and hot-tubbing: chlorine tends to break-down tanning solution so we recommend avoiding it for the duration of your tan (if possible).
For the duration of your tan avoid excessive sweating e.g., hot yoga, sauna’s, HIIT classes as it sheds the outer layer of the skin.
