Before YouR Tan
PLEASE reach out to me PRIOR to your appointment so we can discuss how the following could possibly affect your tan:
-
acne, scarring or acne meds
-
pigment conditions
-
topicals such as retinols or other skin products
Shave and exfoliate 24 hours prior to your tan
Make sure to stay moisturized and drink plenty of water on the days leading up to your tan.
DON'T put on lotion 12 hours prior to your tan
Take a shower the morning of your spray tan. Be sure to rinse the skin using your hands in circular motions so that any soap residue and lotions are removed. This will help prevent the tan from streaking.
​
Wear dark, loose clothing and open toed sandals or flip flops if possible​. Long sleeves & pants are preferred in order to avoid skin on skin contact.
After Your Tan
Avoid showering for about 4 to 6 hours, but don't exceed 8 hours as it can dehydrate the skin and effect the tan.
DON'T use soaps, exfoliants, shower gels, or shampoos on your body. Take a basic, water only shower using circular motions with your hands to rinse off the tan. Wait 24 hours before washing your hair.
After rinsing, gently pat yourself dry. DON'T rub as it is a form of exfoliation. Moisturize your skin regularly to maintain your tan.
