Quick Tips for a Lasting Tan

Use a soap‐free body wash & pat dry instead of rubbing after showering. Apply a moisturizer twice a day to hydrate your skin. Hydrated skin will prolong your spray tan. Do not spray perfumes directly on the skin, as it contains alcohol and may make your tan blotchy. Avoid using medicated or prescribed lotions for the duration of your tan. Time spent in hot tubs or swimming pools may shorten the duration of the tan.

 

What to do before a SPRAY TAN?

24 Hours Prior to your Spray Tan (Pre Tan Care):

Exfoliate entire body with mild, oil free exfoliate. Pack your spray tanning bag: hair tie, chap stick, black swimsuit or underwear (cotton), dark loose fitting clothing (cotton), black flip flops, an umbrella (in case of bad weather), and a large black towel to place over your car seat to avoid staining. Shower, but do not apply body oils or moisturizer to skin (unless you have very dry skin) as this can create a barrier on your skin.

 

8 Hours Prior to your Spray Tan (Pre Tan Care):

Wear clothing to and from your spray tanning appointment that are dark in color, preferably black and loose fitting (cotton clothing) to avoid excess contact or staining to your clothing after your spray tan.

 

Do not wear tight fitting jeans, pants, shorts, or light synthetic fabrics to your appointment. A loose black dress is ideal.It is advisable to wear dark flip flops to and from your appointment.

 

Plan your day so that you can arrive at your spray tanning appointment at least 10‐15 minutes early so that you can properly prepare for your appointment.
