Pre + post care
-
Schedule your other appointments first. Time your waxing or laser hair removal appointments for two days prior to your spray tanning appointment. If you shave, do so at least 3-4 hours prior.
Make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your skin from the inside out in the days leading up to your appointment (drink lots of water and lather on that moisturizer).
Arrive to your appointment clean at your appointment without any moisturize or makeup on your body. If you have dry skin you can moisturize your entire body 3-4 hours before your appointment. Even if you donβt have dry skin and want to moisturize your body beforehand to not feel dry you can do so as long as its 3-4 hours beforehand.
Please wear loose, dark clothing to change into after your appointment while your spray tan develops and bring SLIDES or CLOGS, or if its raining wear loose socks and rain boots.
Take off your jewelry before your appointment/ leave it at home.
Please stop using retinol, glycolic and active serums 7-10 days prior to your tan. Vitamin C can be used but not right before your appointment or the day of.
If you have any specific questions about pre-tan preparation, don't hesitate to ask. Texting is preferable.

Avoid water, sweating, and skin to skin contact before your initial rinse. This includes peeing on yourself. Yes, we said it. Use the squatting method over the toilet to pee (if you are a woman) as urine can leave streaks (this goes for peeing in the shower during first rinse- trust us, just donβt.
Do not sweat excessively for the first 24 so that tan has time to fully develop without interruption.
Have your first shower at the recommended time provided by your technician. Your βeverything showerβ with shower gel etc. can happen after 24 hours post-spray.
Your first rinse should be with lukewarm water. Remember to rub off all the bronzer off with your hands in the shower or else you may be at risk for streaking. We recommend looking in the mirror to see you are clear of streaks, otherwise get back in the shower.
Always pat dry with your towel and do not rub.
MOISTURIZE. MOISTURIZE. MOISTURIZE.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER.
MINIMIZE ALCOHOL INTAKE (very drying for the skin).
Use spray tan-safe products, including body washes and moisturizers to help your tan last longer and fade evenly. Ask your technician for product recommendations.
Avoid retinol and other actives. Vitamin C is safe to use.
Keep it simple with your skincare regime. Use only water-based skincare and lotions to be safe.
Try to spray perfume on your hair and clothes rather than on the skin (as perfume as alcohol in it) and use a clean/natural 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). Or get The Forever Tan (sweat-resistant/long-lasting tan) and minimize vacation stress.
For the duration of your tan avoid excessive sweating e.g., hot yoga, saunaβs, HIIT classes as it sheds the outer layer of the skin. Unless you get The Forever Tan; then you can do all these things but still be mindful that you canβt be too naughty.
If you have any specific questions about post-tan preparation, don't hesitate to ask. Texting is preferable.
