Care
Days Prior
-
Make sure all waxes and facials are done 1-2 days before your tan.
-
Manicures and pedicures are recommended to be done before your tan. However, they can be done after as long as exfoliating scrubs, witch hazel, mineral oils, or silicone aren’t used.
Day Of
-
Shower, shave and exfoliate with an oil-free soap
-
Do not put any products on your skin after your shower (no lotion, make-up, deodorant, perfume, etc.)
-
We recommend you bring some dark-colored, loose-fitting clothing and slip-on shoes to put on directly after your spray.
-
In cases of rain, be sure to bring long sleeves and long pants, as well as an umbrella to help you stay dry outside.
After
-
Avoid getting wet while your tan develops (wait 6-8 hours or 3 hours for express)
-
Do not apply moisturizer, deodorant, or foundation until after your first shower
-
Avoid physical exercise, heat, or other situations where you might sweat before your first shower to allow the tan to develop fully.
-
Shower with lukewarm water and pat dry, do not rub.
-
After your first shower, MOISTURIZE! But avoid any products that contain mineral oil. Just say no to parabens!
-
Keep in mind that swimming pools and hot tubs will shorten the life of your airbrush spray tan. Chlorine and hot water strip the product from your skin.
