prep & care instructions

Read these prep instructions to help you plan for a beautiful, long lasting glow! 

1

In the week of your spray tan appointment, begin prepping your skin by keeping hydrated; drink plenty of water as hydrated skin helps with the longevity of your tan. Moisturize twice daily using natural products; anything organic and natural based with goats milk + coconut oil is best. (Avoid products with sulfates, parabens, alcohol, fragrance and mineral oil; i.g. Dove, Aveeno, Jergens, etc.) 

PRE CARE:

  • Shave and exfoliate 12-24 hours before your spray tan appointment.

  • Book all other beauty services 1-2 days prior.

  • DO NOT shower within the 4 hours of your sunless tanning application.

  • Have NO lotion, makeup, deodorant or jewelry on.

  • Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing & sandals; No gym clothes!

  • Avoid sweating and contact with water during the developing time; 2-6 hours post session.

  • NOTE: Sunburn, deep cuts, tattoos, chemical peels and lasers  as well as the use of retinol can affect how a spray tan develops. Avoid them within two weeks of your scheduled appointment. 

  • Book your spray tan appointment 1-3 days prior to your main event day for best results.

FOR APPOINTMENT: 

  • Please arrive ready for your 20 minute appointment.

  • Have clean skin and preferably free of makeup, lotion, deodorant and jewelry.

  • Wear dark, loose fitting clothing and sandals. NO WORKOUT clothes or thin straps as they remove the bronzer off your skin.

  • For the application process, you may wear your undergarments, bring pasties or opt for no tan lines. 

​       (Men are required to wear bottoms).

  • Plan on rinsing off within 2-6 hours after application. You may request an 8+ / over night hour solution.

  • While you're developing, avoid sweating or coming into contact with water, little ones and/or furry ones.

  • Bring a towel for your car to sit on and be mindful of the seatbelt.

  • If you have blonde or color treated hair, please keep your hair up during the developing period to avoid staining your hair from bronzer transfer.

Rinse off time for Express Solution:

          1-2 hours - Light + Natural

          3-4 hours - Medium Glow

          5-6 hours - Darker Tan

POST CARE

  • First shower should be a 3-5 minute water rinse massaging gently to remove all cosmetic bronzer.  (If you are streaky after showering, it means you left bronzer on! Don't worry, it'll even out by the next shower. Same if you get green tint in under arm area).

  • You may notice that all of the bronzer washed off and you have little to no tan lines. This is normal as the spray tan will continue to gradually develop over the next 24  hours. Trust the process!

  • Do not use any products, loofah, or apply lotion after your FIRST rinse.​, wait at least 12 hours to ensure the full development of the tan.

* Medication, stress or being pregnant/nursing may alter your ph balance and affect the way your spray tan develops or lasts.

For Longevity:

  • Pat dry with a towel after each shower.

  • Avoid hot, long baths / showers, exfoliating and heavy workouts.

  • Skip shaving days and use a razor with a small moisturizing strip.

  • Apply body moisturizer 1-2 times a day.

  • Stay hydrated... drink your H2O!

  • Waterproof sunblock is your bff!

  • Don't spray perfume directly to your skin, spray the air and walk into it.

NOTE:  Proper Prep + Care  is key for longevity and a flawless tan, as it will ensure that your spray tan lasts 7-10 days while fading away beautifully and evenly.
